‘Tis the SEAson, which means you’re probably on the lookout for the perfect gifts for your loved ones. If you’re anything like us here at Oceanic Society, you’re most likely looking to choose gifts that are also sustainable and eco-friendly! Well, we’re here to help you out; we’ve gathered some of our favorite eco-conscious gifts and deals just for you!

For the Ocean Lover

Symbolically adopt an ocean animal. For the animal lover in your life, consider symbolically adopting a dolphin, whale, sea turtle, or albatross. Or, go even further and name a whale, or name a sea turtle. These symbolic adoptions protect ocean wildlife by providing needed support for our research and conservation programs!

Shop with Oceanic Society. Shop in our online store for all things Oceanic Society, including apparel, accessories, and home goods. An added bonus: all purchase proceeds support our worldwide mission to connect people to the ocean and protect marine ecosystems.

For the Natural Cleaning Enthusiast

Koala Eco Gifts. Bring more nature to your daily life. They create plant-based products that only use natural ingredients, making them safe for the whole family. Their products also use recycled, recyclable, and refillable bottles so that no new plastic bottles are made.

Use code OCEAN25 for one, one-time purchase (good through Oct 31st, 2025)!

For the Self-Care Enthusiast

Sustainable Hair and Body Care. Plaine Products is vegan, carbon neutral, and sustainably packaged. Plus, their products are designed to be refillable! Just order your new favorite product, and when it’s running low, order the refill – it’s that easy (or, for even more ease, subscribe to get sent refills)!

Use code OS20 to get 20% off your order, AND an additional 10% will be donated to Oceanic Society!

For the Fragrance Lover

5 SENS Vegan Fragrances. 5 SENS is vegan, cruelty-free, BIPOC-founded fine fragrance company on a mission to capture a mood in a bottle.

For the Bookworm

How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler. This collection features 10 essays, each focusing on a unique marine creature, often in hostile or remote environments. Through these journeys, author Sabrina Imbler uncovers the unique communities and systems of the sea.

For the Scribe

SproutWorld Plantable Pencils. These sustainable pencils are created with the purpose of having a second life. When you’re done with the pencil, plant it and watch it grow into flowers, vegetables, herbs, and even trees!

For the Best Dressed

Conscious Step Socks. Conscious Step made it their goal to connect shoppers with world-changing nonprofits, in order to make it easier to make an impact. They are embracing slow fashion and making products designed to last. You can even shop based on cause to find socks and apparel designed just for your passion!

For the Accessorizer

Sea And Glass Jewelry. Sea And Glass is a collection of ocean lovers and beachcombers on Oahu’s North Shore. They collect authentic sea-tumbled glass, as well as shells, and other treasures to hand-craft ocean-inspired pieces celebrating the natural recycling process the ocean provides!
