Any special occasion in sight and still zero ideas? Why not to choose green and sustainable gifts to surprise the people you love, but having an eye for the planet?
Finding environmentally friendly gifts is not easy, but it is a gesture from which can begin a real change of lifestyle. We often talk about sustainability and respect for the environment, but, even without realizing it, in everyday life we make choices that end up having a negative impact on the planet. Therefore, for inverting the route we can start from our daily habits.
Here are some perfect ideas for a green gift!
Green Travel Experience
To give up any kind of packaging or gifts that simply risk ending up in a corner of the house, why not give time to spend together? Gifts don’t always have to be physically tangible. The perfect gift could be a nice trip, for example, an ecological and sustainable experience.
The perfect solution? The Ecobnb travel gift card for a completely eco-sustainable stay. Who receives the gift card can choose from thousands of ecological hospitality and green experiences unique throughout Italy and the world, from the tree house to the hotel in an ancient village.
Ideal green gift for: those who love to travel
A Pencil To Plant
The idea behind this pencil is really simple: once it becomes too short to be used, instead of throwing it you give it new life. At the end opposite the tip is a biodegradable capsule that contains seeds. Just plant the pencil in a pot and take care of it: the flowers or plants will begin to grow after about a month.
Ideal green gift for: those going to school or who love to write
Green Gifts: The Water Bottle
Why do you always use plastic bottles that you throw away? Much better to choose a more sustainable alternative, such as a steel water bottle. You can use it as often as you want, fill it with water, tea or herbal teas at your leisure and always take it with you, whether it is at school or at work
Perfect green gift for: those who live their days away
Green Gifts: A Forest to Adopt
A very symbolic gift is to give a forest. Adopting a tree is a way to help the environment and safeguard biodiversity, so why not dedicate a tree to the people you love? Instead of the usual banal gifts, this could be a decidedly innovative idea to surprise someone.
Ecobnb offers you the opportunity to give away a forest in Italy that will become secular.
Perfect green gift for: those who love nature
Solar Charger
Unlike a normal power bank, a solar charger uses the energy of sunlight. With this gift you can surprise those friends who always have their smartphone, tablet or pc unloaded… They won’t even have to remember to charge the power bank!

A Bicycle
A bicycle is another example of a perfectly green gift. Perfect especially for those people who like to stay in outdoors and who have a passion for two-wheeled pedals!

The Tote Bag
It can be used on any occasion and always with style. The canvas bag, or tote bag, is a cloth bag that you can take anywhere, practical and fashionable.

Ebook Reader
If instead, you have to give a gift to a person who devours books on books, then why not consider an Ebook Reader as a gift? Convenient and practical, you can always take it with you. You can load multiple books there, reducing the use of paper and safeguarding the environment.

Card with Seeds to Plant
To round off your gift, you might choose to include a different ticket. One idea may be to use, or even create, a card with seeds inside to plant. I mean, it would be like a gift in the gift…

Ecological Gift Packages
If you want to take care of the environment and avoid waste, then you could use ecological gift packages. Reuse old cartons, wrapping paper or newsprint, and embellish it to your liking, making it even the most personal gift.
