Green Gifts: Easy Eco-Friendly Gifts. green, eco-friendly gifts, eco-friendly gift wrap, how to wrap gift eco-friendly We all want to do the right thing for our planet. Especially when it comes to giving gifts.

Here are 3 ways to help can lessen the impact of gift-giving on the environment.

1 Bring it.

Take your own canvas bag or reused shopping bags when you head out to secure that perfect gift.



Look for gifts that use the least amount of packaging.

2 Eco-gift it.

Remember that the best gifts come from the heart - not necessarily the department store.

If you do choose to buy something new, look for gift items made from recycled materials, or those that can be recycled or reused.

A few Earth-friendly gift ideas to get you started:

1 Membership in an environmental organization.

2 Hand-made items of recycled materials.

3 Gardening tools.

4 Long-lasting gifts that benefit the environment.

These include possibilities such as a solar battery charger (with batteries), or water-conserving shower-heads.

5 Eco-friendly tokens of affection.

For your significant other, consider giving a weekend getaway to a bed-and-breakfast (you can go, too) or a bike-riding excursion.

6 Kids' gifts.

Create a certificate for excursions such as a whale-watching or camping trip.
