eco-friendly/anti-consumerist gift ideas
if you're anything like me, you're trying to avoid buying new and unnecessary things. and if you're like me, you also love giving gifts. here are some ideas i've put together for more sustainable gifts.
something they actually need. this might not seem like a fun gift but it's worth asking if there's anything in particular they've been needing to buy, and maybe you can buy an eco-friendly version of the product!
plants! bonus points if you propagate them yourself and reuse/thrift a container or pot
an experience. take them to the movies, the spa, a restaurant, or whatever you think they'd like
acts of service. if you're handy at all, offer to fix something for them. this can be a light bulb, a pair of jeans, or anything!
a homemade gift. maybe you like to make candles, or you paint, or do woodwork, or none of the above! get creative and make something they'd like. maybe you can use materials from a charity shop?
alternatively, something from an artist or local business. you can pay an artist to draw you together or support small/local businesses!
regift! as long as you're not just trying to get rid of unwanted gifts, it's a great idea to regift something if you think they'd love it more than you!
consumables. how about you make them their favourite treat or get a gift certificate for some local fruit and veg?
a subscription. the possibilities are endless. this can be a course, a streaming service, food subscription, or anything at all!
