This means spending precious time with our family and relatives, whom for one reason or the other, we are not able to see very often. Christmas means also delicious food and happiness. Of course, <strong>presents<\/strong> are a very important component. In recent years, people are more willing to give or receive <strong>sustainable<\/strong> presents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sustainable presents<\/strong> are an excellent choice for whoever respects the planet and for nature and <strong>sustainability<\/strong> lovers. Is also a way to contribute to making our planet a little bit more green. In this guide, we give you some ideas for a sustainable present that will make your friends and relatives happy and satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>No to disposable presents, yes to experiences!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Progetto-senza-titolo-5-870x490.png\" alt=\"Map with objects\" class=\"wp-image-70705\"\/><figcaption>Photo via canva.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How many times has happened to us to receive a present we don\u2019t like, so we put it in a cabinet or a basement? Unfortunately, this happens very often, especially if the person who is giving the present to us is someone who doesn\u2019t know our tastes. However, there is a present that is always the right one: an <strong>experience<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experiences stay in our <strong>souls<\/strong> and we will be always grateful to whoever allows us to live such an <strong>adventure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Chocolate-village-by-the-river-1170x490-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Couple sitted in the garden of Chocolate Village\" class=\"wp-image-53525\"\/><figcaption> Green holiday in glamping Chocolate Village,  via ecobnb.it<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays is possible to purchase experiences or trip packages everywhere, but if the person that receives the present is a lover of sustainability, what\u2019s better of a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/buy-giftcard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gift card for an eco-stay<\/a><\/strong>?

Nowadays, you can choose between <strong>fake trees<\/strong> or <strong>real ones<\/strong>, that are cut to decorate our homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both these options present some disadvantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Fake trees<\/strong> are the most comfortable option but not the most aesthetic one, moreover, these trees are composed of plastic and when they are thrown away they are a waste difficult to dispose of;<\/li><li><strong>Real trees<\/strong> are an option that is more pleasant to the sight, but during their quick usage in the Christmas period, they lose a lot of needles. Furthermore, these trees are cut just to be used for a few weeks, before being thrown away.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/image-3-870x490.png\" alt=\"Millesimo forest in Savona\" class=\"wp-image-70707\"\/><figcaption>Millesimo forest, in Savona, part of the project &#8220;Gift a Forest&#8221; by Ecobnb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A third option could be <strong>adopting a tree<\/strong>. Adopting a tree is an initiative that is cooler and cooler in the last years.

You can think about using a <strong>newspaper<\/strong> to wrap your gift and decorate it with some touch of colour. You can also use a <strong>music score<\/strong> you are not using anymore, or also some <strong>pages<\/strong> from an <strong>old book<\/strong>. If your present is small you can use the cylinder from toilet paper, folding the edges to close the package. Do you want a more elegant wrap? You can recycle some <strong>old fabric<\/strong>, some <strong>foulards<\/strong> or even some <strong>blouses<\/strong> to wrap a bottle of wine or oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget about the <strong>decorations<\/strong> for your package. You can do it with <strong>berries<\/strong>, <strong>aromatic herbs<\/strong> or <strong>sticks<\/strong>. You can find thousands of sustainable solutions to the classic wrapping paper, the only rule to follow is to use your <strong>fantasy<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.it\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/regali-ecosostenibili-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Sustainable gift packages\" class=\"wp-image-70897\"\/><figcaption>Photo via Canva PRO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we have given you some ideas for <strong>sustainable gifts<\/strong> that <strong>respect nature<\/strong>. if the recipient is someone that pays attention to sustainability, his\/her happiness is ensured!
