Green Living Tip #13 - Be a Greener Gift Giver

 


Everyone loves to receive gifts. But what about gift giving?  I like to give gifts that are given in a Green way.

If you like to use wrapping paper, look for wrapping paper that is made from recycled products.  Better yet, use newspaper! 

If you like to use gift bags, look for gift bags and tissue paper made from recycled products.

My favorite way is to give a gift is inside a reusable shopping bag instead of a gift bag.  These bags come in all shapes, sizes and designs today.  Find a bag that fits your gift and place the gift inside. Now, you are giving two gifts in one: the gift and the bag. Not only will you be giving a gift to your friends, you are also encouraging them to get into the reusable gift habit.  That is the best Green gift you can give.
