Eco-Friendly Holidays II: Gifts that Aren’t Stuff

posted in: Eco-Lifestyle, Green Holidays on 12/4/2009 by Rachel White | RSS

So you’ve decided to take a first step towards greening your holidays: you’re going to buy less stuff.  So what do you give instead of “stuff”?  Here’s a list of ideas to get you started

• Give tickets to theater, music, a sporting event; or dinner out
• Give a personal service such as a massage or facial
• Give a class in knitting, wood-working, dance, or cooking
• Give membership to a museum, gym or yoga studio.
• Give to a charity in honor of the recipient.
• Give an experience that you and the recipient can enjoy together.

• Also giving to an organization that helps green the planet. We gave to NEGRF, New England Grass Roots Funds that helps fund projects around New England that work to reduce our carbon footprint. And last year we gave to NH Forest Society.

  This year I also bought some kids’ items from a used clothing shop–books, small pjs, a lovely little hand-made vest. Kids grow so fast,why not give clothing a second life?

  Keep up the good work!
