What to look for in an Eco Friendly Gift
 |
| Recycled packaging is a great way to spot green gifts. |
- Eco Friendly Packaging is a great way to spot green gifts. Look for items with minimal packaging or packaging made from recycled goods.
- Gifts that are made of natural components, like sustainably harvested wood, natural fibers, or glass are sure to fit into the green category.
- Purchase gifts that are locally made or are sold by local vendors. This assures you that the natural resources used for shipping the products are preserved.
Eco Friendly Gift Ideas
- For the fashion conscious, consider custom eco friendly handbags or accessories, like our very own Draw String Pouch Purse. These green gifts are sure to be a hit as well as being considerate to the environment.
- Digital Media like movies, music and e-books are great green gifst that have no packaging and can be used again and again. Amazon.com and iTunes are great resources for this type of gift.
- If you're on a budget, try making your own green gifts. Knitted items, homemade preserves, or art made from reused items are some great do-it-yourself gifts. You may also consider doing some type of service for your friend like cleaning, babysitting or cooking.
- Second hand goods are another great gift idea. All kinds of high quality items like jewelry, clothing and instruments can be found at local second hand stores and pawn shops.
- Fair trade items are made with sustainable materials, and are not manufactured in large factories. You can spot these items by a fair trade certified logo on the package like the ones shown on the right.
