Is anything more wonderful than finding the perfect gift for someone, or receiving the present that’s just what you needed? How about gift-giving accompanied by the knowledge that your gift is also a gift for the planet? There’s more to green giving than just switching to the stuff with the “green” label. Here are some pointers for finding the right gifts that make everyone happy. - Be sure your gift will get used. A gift that the receiver does not use is simply wasted.
- Give a consumable gift. The gift will not be left unused in the corner of their closet.
- Share a piece of yourself. Offer your services.
- Make a gift of any service. You will still reduce material consumption.
- Give a gift where it is needed on behalf of someone better off. Improve another family by the gift of a llama or a sheep on their behalf.
- Buy a local gift. A gift made or grown locally you have discovered right here.
Gifts are wonderful expressions of friendship. Just keep in mind the true meaning of Christmas, and that is so much more important than gift giving.
