We give gifts for a variety of reasons, including holidays, special occasions, and sometimes just to show our thanks to those we love and care about. It's wonderful to discover a gift that we know someone will like, but deciding which item to give can be difficult. What do we get for the person who seems to have everything?
The good news is there are fantastic eco-friendly gifts for practically everyone on our list, including those "difficult to buy for" friends and family members. It does not matter if someone we care about is always on the go or tends to spend most of their time at home. There are great gifts for everyone. Let's look at some environmentally friendly gifts that will be meaningful and useful for many of these individuals in our lives.
Gifts for Those Who Are Always Busy:
We all know someone who is constantly on the move. They could be engrossed in their jobs, leisure, family, or a combination of the three. If we ask them when they will next be free, they tend to have to check their calendars because there is always something going on. We could choose eco-friendly versions of commonplace things for these people.
Zero-waste shampoo bars that are easy to transport. We may include wild ginger shampoo bars with our gift to ensure our friend wakes up feeling energized. We can also add a morning lavender shampoo bar to help our friend relax and have a deep and peaceful sleep. We may also provide them with numerous scented conditioner bars to help reduce trash in their home. We may include a citrus conditioner bar to make them feel good when they wake up, or a green tea conditioner bar to soothe their hair and scalp.
Or consider giving them a selection of all-natural konjac sponges that are softer than washcloths. We may use a charcoal konjac sponge for detoxification, or an aloe konjac sponge for soothing inflamed skin.
Gifts for Those Who Love to Stay at Home:
Many of us have friends whose ideal evening consists of cuddling up under a blanket, drinking a warm beverage, and listening to music or reading a book. The emphasis for these friends may be on things that are extremely luxurious and make them feel pampered.
Bamboo pillows and bamboo sheets are excellent eco-friendly choices that can help keep people warm at night. Bamboo pillows and sheets are more environmentally friendly than cotton products since bamboo requires fewer resources to cultivate, harvest, and put into bedding. Furthermore, bamboo pillows and linens are noted for being extremely soft and comfortable.
We might also give them a set of things that will make them feel good about themselves. Bamboo reusable cotton rounds, bamboo brushes, or bamboo combs are possibilities. They might also appreciate a jade or rose quartz roller or even a subscription to bamboo toilet paper so they never run out at the last minute.
Gifts for Those Who Love Their Kitchens:
Who doesn't love food? all had that one friend or family member who makes incredible food delights that make us wonder if they live, breathe, and sleep in their kitchen. These people will appreciate a wide variety of sustainable household kitchen equipment.
We may give them a variety of things to help them prepare, store, or bring home ingredients. We could offer them a reusable grocery or produce bag to use at the shop as well as some wonderful beeswax wraps to use in their kitchen. We may even include a bamboo cutlery set, so they can eat their masterpieces at home or on the go.
Another options we might consider is to give them a collection of eco-friendly goods to help them clean up after they've finished cooking. This might be a bamboo dish brush, bamboo soap dish, or vegan dish soap bar. We might also send some bamboo paper towels to help keep their kitchens clean and orderly.
Gifts For Those Who Love A Tidy Home:
Sometimes all someone wants are items that will help them keep their home clean. There is something calming about being able to come home to a clean and tidy home after a long day doing other activities.
There are numerous eco-friendly methods for keeping a home clean and organized. We might give them items that are suitable for the laundry room, such as reusable wool dryer balls. We might even give them a set of bamboo charcoal bags for any spot that needs a bit of deodorizing.
