Gifting Sustainably

The holiday season is a time of joy, giving, and celebration and it can also lead to increased waste and environmental impact. By adopting sustainable practices, you can make the festivities more meaningful and planet-friendly. Embrace the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling to create a holiday season that’s not only memorable but also mindful. Small changes can add up to make a big difference.

Sustainable Gifts

Reduce 

  • Choose thoughtful, high-quality gifts that last, or opt for experiences instead of physical items.

  • Consider giving fewer gifts by embracing a "one thoughtful gift" rule.

  • For wrapping, swap disposable options for reusable materials like fabric wraps or sturdy gift boxes.



Reuse

  • Consider regifting items you no longer need or repairing something meaningful to give it a second life.

  • Make gifts with your talents: scrapbook, paint, sew, or make personalized gifts.

  • For wrapping, reuse gift bags, wrapping paper, bows, and ribbons from previous years instead of buying new ones.

  • When it comes to decorations, take the time to reuse and refresh your existing décor to keep it festive and eco-friendly.

Recycle

  • Purchase recyclable gifts like homemade candles, recycled wool socks, or other items that can be used and then returned to the earth.

  • For wrapping, choose compostable materials like kraft paper and natural ribbons, which can return to the earth after the festivities.

  • When it comes to décor, compost your real Christmas trees, natural wreaths, and flowers to return the nutrients to the soil.
