How to Get Your Friends Onboard With Eco-Friendly Products
With the recent Climate Change Summit COP-26 in Glasgow, it’s never been a better time to start a conversation with friends about eco-friendly alternatives in our homes, communities and local governments. Small changes cast over millions of people create HUGE change and can help our environmental trajectory.
Tell Them About the Superior Quality
At IOco Gift Designers, we are about functional sustainability! We create beautiful products that are of great quality. We believe in equipping our communities with everyday products that help change habits in our daily lives but still achieve the same purpose as our existing go-to items do. You’ll find our quality products last longer, and can be used time and time again or are biodegradable.
Let Them Know They’re Just as Effective
Have you ever thought of eco or reusable ranges as being sub par to your current products? Things have changed a lot in the past few years. Eco ranges are becoming more commonplace in our everyday lives. Just look at reusable cups like keep cups and our very own IOco Gift Designers reusable glass cups. These are now commonplace and almost expected at our local cafes. Environmental alternatives are here to stay and the technology is coming along in leaps and bounds with an increased focus on more sustainable solutions. Creative people are coming up with all kinds of environmental ranges that replace unstainable mediums like plastic. Not only can we enjoy our creature comforts, but we can rest easier knowing they are better for our environment.
Show Them How Many Environmentally Friendly Alternatives There Are
With so many products out there, it’s easy to see how eco options can be overlooked. However, you can change all that by showing your friends and family just what they’re missing out on. Tell them about why you love our environmentally friendly products and soon they’ll be wanting some of their own. You can then surprise your friends with IOco Gift Designers’ eco-friendly gifts they’ll love, in order to help them live more sustainably!

IOco Gift Designers’ Reusable Glass Coffee Traveller
We know waking up in the morning is never easy, but with some help from your favourite java and our reusable coffee cups with lids, it's no longer an ordeal. Our double-walled glass coffee cups are made from hardened borosilicate glass, making them perfect for holding boiling water, lightweight, and ultra-easy to clean. Moreover, they’re a healthier alternative as there are no harmful plastics or places for germs to hide. Plus, IOco Gift Designers all Glass Travellers come with glass lids, so you can take these glass coffee mugs anywhere and enjoy your coffee without the icky silicone taste. As we love to say here at IOco Gift Designers, ‘Coffee tastes better in glass.'
Whether you have to have that cup of joe for your morning pick-me-up or power you through the rest of the day, these reusable coffee mugs are perfect for anyone who needs their daily coffee fix!
IOco Gift Designers’ Glass Water Bottles
Don't waste money buying a single-use water bottle. Instead, keep well hydrated all day with an IOco Gift Designers Water Bottle. Our glass water bottles are made from the same toughened borosilicate glass as our reusable coffee cups. This means these bottles can be refilled as many times as you need. Plus the glass water bottle can be put in the dishwasher, meaning you can keep your bottle clean and germ free. No icky plastic or metal taste to your water, just clean hydrating water. They're also made to be durable so you can use them again and again. In addition, these glass bottles are specially designed with wide openings, allowing you to pop in ice cubes or a slice of lemon, if you like. Each IOco Gift Designers Glass Water Bottle has been made with a sustainable bamboo lid that looks stunning in combination with our silicone slip-proof sleeves, making the IOco Gift Designers Glass Water Bottle a perfect eco-friendly gift for him or her.
We also have a great range of Frosted Water Bottles, complete with daily hydration goals, so that you can easily track your water-drinking each day. Alternatively, if you love some bling or sparkle, you’ll love our diamantè water bottles. Covered in a diamantè mesh, these bedazzled water bottles bring a touch of glam to your everyday look. Finally, if you’re after a compact water bottle, our slim A5 flat water bottle slips perfectly into your handbag or suitcase without taking up a lot of space.
IOco Gift Designers’ Beauty Buds and Face Wipes
Have you seen the iconic image of the baby seahorse clinging to a plastic cotton bud? It’s an image that has burned into the minds of our team here at IOco Gift Designers, as we continue to look at ways we can design to eliminate one-use plastic. The war on waste series on the ABC addressed this exact issue, encouraging us to be more mindful with our choices and seek more eco-friendly options. Our Bamboo Beauty Buds are a sustainable alternative to cotton buds, crafted with bamboo and medical-grade silicone, so you can reuse them a hundred times over. All you have to do is wash them with soap and warm water after every use, and they're good to go! Just like your typical cotton buds, you can use them to clean your ears, remove or apply make-up, and so much more. These buds are also packed in a neat and sophisticated eco-friendly bamboo storage case, so you can bring them anywhere..
You can team the Beauty Buds with our Bamboo Reusable Face Wipes too; they’re the ideal replacement for disposable cotton pads. Each face pad is made with double-layer bamboo fibre and cotton, making them highly absorbent, super soft and gentle on the skin. These reusable pads can also be used countless times, saving you a lot of money in the long run. We have also designed a Bamboo canister to store your reusable face wipes in too, making them easy to access when you need them.
These hygiene and beauty products not only cut back on landfill, but they are luxurious to use as part of your daily skincare routine, making the perfect eco-friendly gifts for her.
IOco Gift Designers’ Travel Cutlery
You'll never have to worry about packing wasteful disposable utensils again with IOco Gift Designers’ great range of travel cutlery sets. We have designed beautiful, eco-friendly cutlery sets made with practical materials, including Stainless Steel, Bamboo, and Wheat Straw Fibre. Perfect for lunch on the go, and you get to enjoy your meal with your very own favourite cutlery. Each set has been designed to minimise one-use plastic but still give you the feeling like you are using your all-favourite lunch set. Our Wheat Straw and Bamboo Cutlery are biodegradable cutlery options if you are looking for something that will break down. Our Stainless Steel Cutlery sets can be recycled in your local yellow council bins and upcycled into another product! IOco Gift Designers’ cutlery sets are a healthy and sustainable lunchtime must-have!
IOco Gift Designers’ Stainless Steel Pegs
Made from Grade 304 stainless steel, IOco Gift Designers’ Stainless Steel Pegs are just what everyone needs to stop using the dryer and use some sun power to get the laundry dry. Our pegs are rust-resistant and won’t get brittle in the sun like plastic pegs. In addition, they have a firm grip that can support heavy clothes or blankets, even in windy conditions. Plus, as Grade 304 steel, they are easier to use than Marine Grade steel options. A handy IOco Gift Designers tip: try turning your pegs upside down on the clothesline, and slide a hanger through the loops to keep your shirts from blowing off the line. With three beautiful colour options — gold, silver, and rose gold — all laundry will look lovely hanging on the clothesline.
