I want to share with you my thoughts on Christmas/Holiday shopping and gift giving. I just have three things that comes to my mind. If you have more ideas do share. Leave a comment below!
- Wrap gifts in recycled/reused paper. I don't mean go buy recycled gift wrapping paper. No no no. I mean wrapping gifts in news paper or printer paper that you've printed the wrong thing on, old magazines, etc. That kind of thing. There are a few YouTube videos showing how to make gift bows from tissue paper and/or newspaper. You know already, the majority of people don't save their Christmas wrapping paper.
- Get unique gifts. Don't fall trap to fancy shamcy things. Go to those little novelty stores and get a unique gift to someone. Even if it is a small basket of handmade organic bath products, or a basket of free trade teas and a mug. Steer clear from impersonal gifts. Get something that the person would actually use or want to use. Wasted gifts is such a shame.
- Send electronic cards. Let's be honest....we throw our cards out the next year. Do we even bother to recycle them? Do we even bother to reuse them for the something else such as decoration? Nope. We don't. So save some paper, some trees and the environment. Send electronic cards.
Yup! That's my tip for Christmas.
