8 Eco-Friendly Gift Ideas That Scream “I Consciously Love You”
We’re getting close to the “gift-giving holidays” and while some of us may see holidays as a normal day, we may have friends and family asking us what we want for christmas, chanukah, kwanzaa, or any other special tradition on earth. Most of the time, I feel I have everything I need and respond with something like “just continue being my loving grandmother.”
But! This can backfire. Sometimes this approach results in a gift I would rather not have gotten. It’s not because I’m ungrateful but because it goes against the principles that I strive to be closer to. For the most part, my consumer decisions are based, not just on how it will affect me, but the earth and all beings that live here with us. Fast fashion, one time use items, cute little knick-knacks, store bought body sprays filled with chemicals; these are no longer part of my way of life.
In that case, I’d rather give my friends and family some eco-friendly options to choose from. This way it’s a win, win! They’re lovingly spending their hard earned money on products/businesses that are conscious of the earth and you’re receiving a gift that makes you feel good about using it.
