Earth Friendly Gifts With Food

Let's give some thought to ways to be eco-friendly for the Christmas holiday this season. Everyone is atempting to get on the band wagon of going green. Not only is it marvelous for the economy but it is also good for the pocket book. In these years of economic downturn and this friendly mind set let's take a look at various ways to be Earth-friendly and save money. Buy a live tree or perhaps a artificial Christmas tree. Live trees can be planted and admired for years. If you don't have a yard for planting one then get an artificial one you can use each year. If you put up Christmas lights purchase led lights if you can afford it. If not, then be sure to have your lights on a timer and only run them from sunset until you go to bed. No need lighting up the darkness when no one is out to get pleasure from them. Wrap your presents it recycled paper and decorate gifts with old ribbon and sparkles. Another option which is something our family has done for a long time, and wrap your presents in handmade fabric bags that can used year after year. The disadvantage of these bags is that they are really simple to open so someone can potentially peek if they truly wanted to. Buy greeting card printed on recycled paper. You could even not bother with the post office this year and send e-card in its place. Don't go to shopping at malls this year. Spending hours trying hard to find the perfect gift wastes extensive amounts of time and money. You can buy things online and still buy from local companies as well. Think about products that you believe they will use, need and enjoy. Everyone enjoys delectable food and everyone must eat so think about giving a gourmet food gift. Now take this a bit further and make a decision on a gourmet food gift that comes in an Earth-friendly recycled reusable shopping bag. Eco Gourmet Gift Bag Our Eco green Gift bag contains all the same items as our Gourmet Comfort Food Gift Basket. It is perfect for a family or an office staff to share.
