In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, a little thought and preparation will help you to make sure that the gifts you give will be used in good green spirit. Here are some green gifts ideas for all the people in your life and on your list. Show the ones you love your appreciation while minimizing the carbon trail gift giving leaves behind
- Help make your fashion-conscious friends be green-conscious, too. Buy them vegan footwear, clothing made from hemp or bamboo or recycled materials. Give her a handbag made of recycled materials.
- For the beer aficionado, give organic beer or a brew-your-own kit.
- For your coffee-loving friends, offer Fair-trade, shade-grown, organic coffee.
- “Fore” the golfer on your list, try biodegradable golf balls and tees or a solar golf bag.
- For the pet lover, give natural pet food, toys and accessories, or natural pet cleaning supplies.
- For the overworked and time-starved, give a green maid service.
- For the glamour girl, give eco-friendly hair color, or lipstick.
- Adopt an animal for the little ones in your life.
- Eco art supplies are ideal for the kids to scribble in a coloring book….. And not on your walls.
- Non-toxic toys are a great way to give the munchkins the goodies they are pining after while being green at the same time.
- Your significant other will love flowers, chocolates, dinner for two, or organic wine. Wine 'em and dine 'em!
- For the bookworm on your list, buy used books from your local bookstore or Amazon.com.
- For the green thumb, give seeds from your own garden or Plant-Me Pets.
- Need stocking stuffer ideas? Try: green jewelry, organic tea, Looloo scarves, or a recycled iPod case.
So make your list and check it twice…. Naughty or nice, these gifts are good and green. Rest assured.
