The result is that packaging waste is produced, they are not usually a nice surprise for those who receive them and are impractical. For example, large boxes of chocolates run out in a short time and then there remains only the packaging, or gifts that after being discarded end up in a drawer and are not used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are the right ideas for valuable Christmas gifts for both the receiver and the environment? Here are 5 ideas for eco-friendly Christmas gifts that help reduce waste and packaging, last a long time and add value. It is really worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Experiences In Contact With Nature: Gifts That Are Not Gonna Be Forgotten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/image-7-870x490.png\" alt=\"Eco-friendly Christmas gifts: a unique experience with ecobnb gift cards\" class=\"wp-image-70762\"\/><figcaption>eco-friendly gifts: an experience with the ecobnb gift card<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who want to give up waste, packaging, and any useless gifts, can bet on time. Gifts do not always have to be tangible physically, they can also dematerialize and become an <strong>experience<\/strong>. For example, those who have always wanted to spend more time with grandparents can simply give their loved ones a weekend in nature, or a dinner at a restaurant based on organic and local products. Contemporary gifts are a matter of the heart, produce less junk, and are also versatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>A Calendar For Christmas: Lasts All Year Long<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/image-6-870x490.png\" alt=\"a personalized calendar as eco-friendly christmas gift\" class=\"wp-image-70761\"\/><figcaption>eco-friendly christmas gifts: a calendar <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What to give, not only to grandma and grandpa but also to all the other family members for Christmas? A bottle of wine or a packet of chocolates for everyone? It\u2019s quite boring. In addition, plastic packaging and decorations with Christmas motifs are not sustainable. So how about a calendar for the whole year ahead? It can also be done with a little creativity, such as calendars pasting photo memories, and creating a real jewel for at least a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Buying Eco-Friendly Christmas Gifts At Zero Km Distance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/image-8-870x490.png\" alt=\"Eco-friendly Christmas gifts: regional products and km 0\" class=\"wp-image-70763\"\/><figcaption>Eco-Friendly gifts: regional products. Photo via Canva PRO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, those who want to make a physical gift can do it, but here it is worth paying attention to the provenance with respect to the place of sale. Does it have to be imported wine? <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2022\/06\/shop-locally-travelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Local<\/a> regional farmers may have a much better product and do not need transport and shipping. Regional origin is an important idea when it comes to a <strong>sustainable gift.<\/strong> In online trading, it is worth paying attention to the ecological compensation of shipping to keep the product environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Conscious Shopping &#8211; With Sustainability Factor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/image-9-870x490.png\" alt=\"Eco-friendly gifts: products in eco-friendly material\" class=\"wp-image-70764\"\/><figcaption>Eco-Friendly gifts: sustainable cotton products. Photo via Canva PRO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gifts can also be clothes, but when buying it is important to make sure they are <strong>sustainable products<\/strong>. Many fashion chains now offer sustainable <strong>organic cotton<\/strong> products, with a double added value. On the one hand, clothes last much longer, and on the other hand, they give a good feeling. You don\u2019t even have to spend much more. In most cases, sustainable fashion is not overly expensive, but of much better quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Eco-Friendly Christmas Gifts: Attention To The Environment In Packaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/image-10-870x490.png\" alt=\"avoid using decorated gift wrap paper to reduce your environmental impact\" class=\"wp-image-70765\"\/><figcaption>Eco-Friendly gifts: no decorated paper. Photo via Canva PRO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing a gift just to rip the paper and throw it away? Not a good idea. Who wish can simply collect old cardboard or, for example, the sheets of a newspaper. Painted in color or glued, the pages can be used to create <strong>beautiful ecological packaging<\/strong>. It should not always be the glossy colored wrapping paper off the roll, with <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2022\/04\/microplastics-causes-effects-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plastic <\/a>tapes. The gift looks more beautiful but greatly harms the environment, especially if it is not disposed of properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cover image: photo via Pixabay\/yvettefang0604<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are gifts that after a short time end up being thrown away.
