Homemade, locally-sourced, and upcycled gifts are a great way to lighten your impact during the holidays. But if you’ve been eyeing that Perfect Something for that Special Someone, or you need to gift to loved ones far away, sometimes online ordering is the way to go. Luckily, thanks to innovative reuse businesses, the dreaded bubble-wrap mailer or oversized cardboard box doesn’t have to be the inevitable mode of packaging for your gifts.

Here you’ll find a list of reusable mailer businesses who partner with brand name companies to ensure your thoughtful present is also thoughtfully shipped. We hope to see this list grow and grow, so whether you order from one of the below or from somewhere else—please let brands know that their packaging choices matter to you. (Also note that this is a fast-moving space, so be sure to check these companies and others in our Reuse Business Directory for their most up-to-date partnerships.)
