About Us
Meet Sam,
Hi! I’m Samantha Reed, the creator of Zero Waste Gift Guide. I started this website with a simple goal: to make sustainable gifting easy, beautiful and accessible for everyone.
Like many people, I used to struggle to find meaningful gifts that didn’t come wrapped in plastic or end up as clutter. After years of experimenting with zero-waste living, testing eco-friendly products, and crafting DIY gifts for friends and family, I realized—people want to give thoughtfully, but they don’t always know where to start.
That’s why I created Zero Waste Gift Guide: a place to discover zero waste gift ideas, learn about sustainable products that actually work, and find inspiration for plastic-free gift wrapping and DIY projects that are as fun as they are eco-friendly.

Because every small choice adds up. Whether it’s swapping disposable for reusable, plastic for compostable, or store-bought for handmade, every gift is an opportunity to show you care—not just for the person receiving it, but for the planet too.
