Green Gifts That are Eco Friendly

Send and share a gift of green eco friendly goodies. Let’s mull over ways to be green for the holiday this season. Everyone is making an effort to get on the band wagon of going green. Not only is it beneficial for the economy but it is also good for the pocket book. In the year of economic downturn and this eco friendly mind set let’s consider various ways to be green and save money.

Buy a live tree or even a artificial Christmas tree. Live trees can be plant and enjoyed for years. If you don’t have room for planting one then get an artificial one you can use over and over again.

If you put up Christmas lights purchase led lights if youhave the funds . If not, then be sure to have your lights on a timer and only run them from sunset until you go to bed. No use lighting up the darkness when no one is out to enjoy them.

Wrap your presents it recycled paper and decorate packages with old ribbon and sparkles. You can also do what we have done for years, and wrap your gifts in fabric bags that can used year after year. The disadvantage of these bags is that they are easy to open so someone could peek if they truly wanted to.

Purchase greeting card printed on recycled paper.  You could even forgo the snail mail this year and send e-card in its place.

Pass up the shopping at malls this year. Driving all over town trying to find the perfect gift wastes valuable time and money. You can shopping online and still buy from local companies as well. Mull over gift that you feel confident they will use, need and enjoy. Everyone enjoys tasty food and everyone needs to eat so think about giving a gourmet food gift. Perhaps take this one step further and decide on a gourmet food gift that comes in an eco-friendly shopping bag. These wonderful bags come in reusable nylon or 100% recycled reusable. The nylon bag becomes a petite rolls for easy convenient carrying in your bike bag.  The 100% recycled bag doesn’t use only recycled materials to manufacture. They are both green choices. I found that Basketsbyrita offers Eco Friendly gifts with Gourmet Holiday foods and also made in Colorado food. Choos our Spring Eco-Friendly Food Gift. Your holiday shopping just got more practical since you shopped online, got something useful, did something that was good for the environment and your recipient will love it. Done! Happy Holidays.
