Green Gifts for the Holidays

The Holidays are fast approaching and its time to start thinking about all those friends and family members you still haven't gotten gifts for. Here are some gift ideas that are both thoughful and good for the environment:

Services Instead of Goods: Stumped on what to get someone? How about a massage, music lessons, childcare, car wash, dogwalk, lawncare, tutoring, cooking, gardening or a book of coupons for household chores? A non physical gift is both thoughtful and ecofriendly because they require very few natural resources.

Think Old, Not New: Pick up an antique clock or some vintage jewelry at a flea market or thrift store. Antiques and collectible items make thoughtful gifts and that have no impact on the environment because they have already been made.

DIY: You can always make that special someone a gift. Be it a necklace from a cool seashell you found or a decorated photo frame with your favorite snap shot inside.

Baked Goodies: Make your buddies their favorite tasty treats, not only is it thoughtful and heartfelt the food is likely not to go to waste.
