Are you looking for the best consumable gifts?

In this article, you can find a list of 41 awesome ideas. That type of clutter-free gifts are fantastic for:

  • Minimalists and people who want non-material gifts
  • People who are interested in simple living & zero waste  
  • People that you don’t know that well
  • Last moment gifts 

Below, you can find three categories that will help you to find the best consumable gifts for you:

  • DIY & very affordable consumable gifts – free or $10 – $20
  • Consumable gifts from $10 – $30
  • Luxury consumable gifts from $30 – $100+

First off, what is a consumable gift?

Consumable gifts are gifts that can be eaten and used up. They are different from experience gifts (when you give an experience or adventure rather than a material item). 

Consumable gifts can be cosmetics, food, drinks, candles, etc. You can either buy the consumables or make them by yourself, which means they can be very affordable.

They are great for any occasion – birthdays, Christmas, or any other holiday.
