We are all being told about the impact we have on our environment and increasingly we are becoming more conscious of our actions and lifestyle choices. Part of this is what we buy as a consumer not just for ourselves but for other people too.
When it comes to birthdays and Christmas presents many of us are reluctant to push green products and eco friendly gifts on other people but buying somebody a green gift doesn’t mean it has to be dull.
There are plenty of fantastic green gift ideas that regardless of being eco-friendly are fun, innovative and make great presents for nearly every member of the family.
One of the best places to start is the garden. Not only are there great gift ideas for the green gardener like composters and raised planting beds but there are other garden ideas for kids too. Wormeries are fantastic fun for the younger children while solar garden lighting help those patio parties swing way into the evening.
Around the home and office there are no shortage of gift ideas either. From pure wool duvets for those cosy warm nights cuddled up to quick cup kettles and recycled clocks, there is a great gift idea for almost everybody.
Eco friendly doesn’t have to be low tech either. There are many great green innovations, from water powered calculators, magnoballs for removing limescale to clock work radios with inbuilt cell phone chargers and various solar powered gadgets that are both useful and green.
So whether its father’s day, a birthday, anniversary or wedding, don’t be frightened of thinking green when it comes to buying a gift, you may find not just a great eco-gift but a great gift full stop.
