Presents, whatever the occasion, are a lovely way to show affection to the people we care about. Why not combine this precious gesture with a gift for the planet?
When we find sustainable and ethical gifts, we generate numerous advantages. Moreover, we make a significant contribution for helping the Planet. Indeed, it is from small everyday choices that we can build a more environmentally and socially responsible lifestyle.
What Does Choosing Ethical and Sustainable Gift Options Really Mean?
We can follow a few simple things that can help us make more responsible choices when it comes to choosing an eco-friendly gift:
- Consider the biodegradability of the gift, for example, whether it is recyclable.
- Try to understand the impact our gift may have on nature, focusing on how it is produced and where it comes from.
- Check whether the gift supports local producers, respecting human rights and guaranteeing social sustainability.
- Identify companies and organizations that are committed to reducing their environmental impact on a daily basis.
Definitely, a more conscious choice requires more effort, but it makes our actions important for the future of planet Earth.
The Impact of Ethical and Sustainable Gifts on the Environment
Giving an environmentally friendly present brings with it multiple benefits and promotes more virtuous practices.
For example, handmade gifts encourage the circular economy and promote local producers. Let’s also consider dematerialized gift: they reduce the amount of waste and significantly lower our environmental impact.
What are Some Eco-Friendly Gift Ideas?
Two excellent gift ideas for reducing your environmental impact are the Travel Gift Card and the Forest Digital Gift Card.
What are they? They are prepaid gift cards that are available in different amounts (€10, €50, €100, etc.). Also, you have the option between a sustainable travel (Travel Gift Card) or to support a project to create a centuries-old forest in Italy (Forest Gift Card).
Let’s take a look at how they work.

Here are the steps to follow:
Step 1: Go to the special page for the Ecobnb Travel Gift Card or Forest Gift Card:

Step 3: You will receive an email summary of your purchase and the Gift Card page containing the unique gift card code. If it is a gift, you can print the page to insert it into a nice gift card or send the link via email to the recipient.
How to use your Foresta Gift Card?
The gift card is valid indefinitely and has no expiration date. It consists of a unique 12-digit code associated with an area where we are growing and preserving a forest for the next hundred years, with the aim of creating centuries-old forests in Italy.
Using a Travel Gift Card
When you are using an Ecobnb Travel Gift Card you should follow these different steps:
- First of all, go to Ecobnb and choose where you want to go from thousands of eco-friendly destinations in Italy and around the world.
- Secondarily, send one or more availability requests to your preferred accommodations by filling out the availability check form (see image below). Remember to enter all the required information, select “Do you have a coupon code,” enter the code (the 12-digit number on your Digital Gift Card), and click on the “Apply Coupon” button (which will verify that the code you entered is correct).
- Finally, wait for the accommodation facilities to respond with their availability (if you are not satisfied, send more requests), and once you have received confirmation of availability, confirm your booking.
You can use the Ecobnb Travel Gift Card for one or more purchases of eco-friendly stays on the Ecobnb platform until the value contained in the gift card is completely exhausted.
Gift cards are cumulative: if you have more than one,you can use them for the same booking. Furthermore, if the amount of the trip purchased is less than the value of the gift card, the system will automatically issue a new digital gift card for the remaining amount.
When choosing ethical and sustainable gifts, you can offer original and useful presents. In addition, you can support responsible projects and make a significant contribution to protecting the planet.
