Green Gifts for the Eco-Savvy
Looking for green gifts for your mother earth loving friends? There are lots of fun and exciting ideas
In this day and age, green gifts are the way to go. Show someone you're thoughtful of the environment in your generosity. It's a win win situation really. You get to feel good about the purchase -- and they feel good about using your gift, too. Every day, more and more manufacturers produce eco friendly options. But to help you with your search, here are some of my very favorite green presents.
Oh and check out these gift wrap alternatives! Might as well keep with the theme and keep the gift wrap green as well.
1. Go Green! Personalized Water bottle
An aluminum water bottle isn't that creative of a gift -- but these ones are personalized, letting you put your friends' names on their bottles (and eliminating any future confusion about who's drinking from who's bottle!). A cute, inexpensive, eco friendly gift.
2. Protect Our Water Glasses
These pretty, interesting, and unique glasses come from recycled wine bottles. They're not only environmentally friendly green gifts, they're great conversation pieces -- and they're sturdy and cute to boot. $45.00 is a little pricey for four glasses, but they definitely make an interesting and welcome present.
3. Odor Free Compost Caddy
Okay, let's be honest: Mom won't appreciate it much if you get her a compost caddy for her birthday. But if you have an eco conscious friend who needs a housewarming gift or is starting up a garden, this is a fantastic present. The odor free part is the best selling point -- who wants to sniff decomposing vegetables every time they go near the compost caddy?
4. Star Plantable Seed Papers
These inexpensive and creative green gifts are star shaped seed papers containing wildflower seeds. Drop them in the ground and watch them grow in a star shape that will always remind the recipient of your thoughtfulness.
These are just a few of the many green gifts available -- combine them all or come up with your own great ideas!
