Great ideas
for holiday gifts
Instead of an
over-packaged, plasticized gift, give:
Membership to a museum, zoo, botanical garden
Adoption of an animal (WWF)
Theater tickets for the performing arts
Seeds, cuttings, plants, or a tree
Jam or wine from your local farmer’s market or healthy
foods store
Gift certificate to your local health food store
Homemade baked goods
Cloth dish towels and napkin rings (in Sweden we were
given
personalized
napkin rings so we could reuse your own napkin until
they were ready
for a wash)
Bar soap with soap dish (ceramic or bamboo)
Photographs
A set of biodegradable, no-phosphate cleansers
Solar powered garden lights (calculator, watch)
Energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs
Hours of babysitting
Plant a tree in someone’s name
Kid-made personalized coupon books for household
chores
A bird or bat house
The gift of yourself, your time (to family, to
volunteer)
A personalized charitable donation
Sincerely,
with regards from people who wish to work towards a
better
environment. Please consider making a positive
difference in
your gift giving this year.
Did you
know that Americans throw out their own
weight in packaging each month?
