3 Eco Friendly Gift Ideas

by chris on December 1, 2009

As if you haven’t been able to tell, we are big fans of eco-friendly products here at Clean Air Gardening and hope you are as well. While you’re doing your holiday shopping, you may decide to give someone an eco-friendly gift, or you may be searching for someone who is fanatical about eco friendly products. We’ve come up with three great ideas for you that won’t break the bank, and are still excellent gifts to give to others this holiday season.

The first of these is this 27 Ounce Stainless Steel Water Bottle. Made from stainless steel, it’s a perfect alternative to plastic. It is reusable, the bottle itself is dishwasher safe (it’s a better idea to just wash the bottle caps – or you can hand wash the whole thing in a matter of minutes if you wish), and it can fit in most bottle holders. This gift just screams eco friendly – it keeps those pesky plastic bottles out of landfills! It’s a perfect gift for an eco-savvy individual to enjoy, and if you know someone who may not be the most green individual, it’s a great place to get them started on a path to greener living.

Another excellent, simple green gift to give someone is this set of 4 reusable nylon shopping bags. Reusable bags are an excellent way to keep plastics out of landfills, and they’re great for the environment. Each set of four bags comes with every color available including periwinkle, olive, white/navy stripe and grey/smoke. These bags are stylish, and make trips to the store a breeze – regardless of whether you live in a rural area, or have an urban city-dwelling lifestyle.

The third excellent eco-friendly gift we’ve found is this recycled bamboo utensil kit. This kit features a carrying case made from recycled newspapers and plastic bags. Inside you will find a knife, spoon, fork, and a set of chopsticks. These chopsticks can be used anywhere, and are a great way to show some love to mother earth. Made from eco-friendly, naturally sustainable, rapidly renewable bamboo, they are a reusable alternative to plastic silverware. They are also produced by CONSERVE, which is a non-Governmental Organization who is working to control pollution and fight poverty in India. They uphold fair wage standards, which is a great practice to have.

So if it’s eco-friendly gifts you are looking for this year, look no further. We’ve got 3 eco friendly gifts outlined for you that are sure to make anyone thrilled. Best part – they’re also checkbook-friendly as well: each gift is under $40. Everyone wins in this scenario!
