As temperatures are starting to drop and holiday decorations are going up, it can only mean one thing – it’s time to start thinking about buying gifts for family and friends. Perhaps you are struggling with what to get that special someone in your life. Maybe you’re stumped because you feel like you’ve given the same thing over and over again. Have no fear! Here are some unique and environmentally friendly gift ideas for everyone from your significant other to the coffee lover, golfer, artist, or general environmental enthusiast in your life. Those on your shopping list will be happy to know you care about them and the Earth.
Predict what your energy bills are going to be before they arrive! TED (aka The Energy Detective) helps you determine where you are wasting energy and where you can be saving money. TED quantifies electricity and displays the results on its easy-to-read LCD screen and/or a local or remote computer.
Feel good – physically and mentally – while playing your next round of golf. The 100% certified organic cotton golf shirt by Port Authority is better for the environment and softer on the skin. And while you’re being green on the green, pick up some biodegradable golf tees, too!
The all-in-one French press coffee maker and mug by Planetary Design is not only convenient, it is kind to the environment. No disposable coffee cups here! What’s even better is that you can select from a wide variety of styles and colors to match your personality.
Candles and other open flames can be harmful inside the home. With a firepot, however, you can have a piece of art in the middle of your home without introducing any harmful fumes or allergens. Fire pots can be used with odorless, smokeless gel fuel for a safe, clean burn.
Can’t settle on just one gift? Check out this book that offers 1,000 best things for you and the Earth. It makes a great gift and a perfect conversation starter as a coffee table centerpiece.
Use these ideas so that you don’t get stuck buying boring socks and pajamas again. And for green bonus points, wrap your gifts in recycled wrapping paper or get creative by using yesterday’s newspaper. Happy Holidays!
