Earth Day is coming up, what better way to celebrate than incorporating some sustainable gifting practices.
1. Furoshiki
2. Buy Local
Instead of shipping gifts from across the world, buy from businesses in your local area. It's a great way to get to know your neighbors and give more sustainably. Club Encourage has gifts available sourced locally in York, PA.
3. Handmade
Handmade goods can be easily accessible, affordable, and are always unique! Don't have time to create them yourself? Most local businesses offer a variety of handmade items.
4. Gift Experiences
Quality time can be a great gift for those who crave it. Whether you gift tools or a kit for a day of crafts or go to a coffee shop for lunch, experiences can create lasting memories greater than any one physical item.
5. Upcycle
As long as an item is in good condition and aligns with a recipient's interests and personal tastes, there's no reason one can't re-gift! Many of the things I hardly ever use have become the most notable gifts for others.
