With almost everyone buckling up for Christmas and New Year’s eve, getting one good gift for your loved ones is like a cherry on top! With regards to purchasing the ideal Christmas present, you may be on the chase after “interesting” or “unique” — however, shouldn’t something be said about “eco-friendly gifts“? Let’s be honest: We’ve all been forced to bear a gift that wound up in the rubbish half a month — truth be told, one investigation discovered that we discard 25% more garbage among Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day than some other season. So rather than adding to all the pointless burn through that happens during the greatest season, consider being kinder to the climate this Christmas season and getting some eco-accommodating presents for your mom, dad, and your companions — not exclusively will they see the value in it, the earth will as well!
Here are 6 Reasons for you to buy Eco-friendly gifts for your loved ones!
1. It is Sustainable
Well, come on! Greta Thunberg has already yelled a lot over Climate Crisis which IS REAL! So, why invest in something that is going to curse mother nature for a long time? Eco-friendly gifts happen to be sustainable and are not just a gift to your loved ones but a gift to the entire nature!
2. It is Pocket Friendly
Getting a beautiful Crockery set by spending a four-digit amount on it and seeing it break in front of your eyes surely doesn’t seem like a good gift-giving! Instead, get a pretty planter made of brick or mud, get a small succulent planted in it, name the little plant, and tie a paper string around it with a paper note and tadaaaa! A pocket and eco-friendly gift are ready.
3. It is Unique
I’m very sure that no one must’ve ever thought of gifting a personalized plantable notebook as a gift on Christmas eve! Or an upcycled cardboard box with beautiful nature-friendly ink or a Clay Cleansing Cube! See, it’s unique, and it’s good for the earth!
4. It can be Alive!
Yes. PLANTS. It is alive, and it can sit by your side at the desk in your office or by your bed and give you oxygen without you asking for it! Well, now that’s some gift, I must say.
5. It can be Consumable (by you and the earth!)
Yes, you got that correct. Food hampers packed in eco-friendly baskets are something that I personally wait for during Christmas. The food packed in biodegradable packets gives an absolutely different flavour that you’ll crave until the next 25th December! The basket that is made up of bamboo is again eatable for mother earth, making it a win-win situation for both Humans and Nature!
Last but not least, lets move on to the 6th reason why you should gift something eco-friendly this Christmas!
6. Creates ZERO Waste!
It’s obvious, but it is worth mentioning. A flower vase may break, or clothes can get dirty and be thrown, making a mess that is not degradable but, plants grow and with them grow another little one in the same planter and even if food after eaten, creates waste, but again, it’s consumable by the soil making it better than before for planting a new life!
Thus, Eco-friendly gifts are THE BEST option not just this Christmas eve, but as a lifetime option of gifting love to your loved ones!
