After giving you some igoddess on eco gifts to choose for HIM, for a level playing field, here are some proposals for those looking for green gifts for HER. Whether it's your mother, aunt, girlfriend or simply a friend, the important thing is that the chosen thought is also a "gift" for the environment, especially if the recipient is a person who is particularly attentive to these issues. .
If your best friend loves to read, there is no better gift than a good one book. To make a truly green gift, the ideal would be to choose books printed on "Forest-friendly card" or otherwise certified FSC. More and more writers, such as Isabella Allende, are writing “environmentally friendly” books, as well as many publishers are opting to print their works on recycled paper. So the choice of titles becomes ever wider and able to satisfy all tastes.
For those who want to choose green also the topic, a visit to the site is a must Ambiente editions, the publishing house that among many also offers the series VerdeNero we have talked about extensively in recent months. Even more ecological is the choice to buy instead of a brand new book, to take a tour among the remainders to see if you can find one in good condition by spending half.
For the girlfriend, something fair and supportive. In addition to food products for the sweet tooth, Altromercato offers many ideas for a Christmas in the name of solidarity. An example for the lovers of Jewelry: copper bracelets, beads or batik, necklaces and pendants with an original design made of silver or copper, earrings and brooches.
If your gift is intended for a woman eco fashion, you will surely make a great impression with the lingerie proposed by the French brand g = 9.8 who created the first bra made with pine fibers.
To surprise your sister with a truly original gift, we have thought of one photo frame. You may wonder what's so original. Well, what we propose are frames made with an unusual material called “Elephant Dung Paper” or elephant poop card! On the site www.elephantdungpaper.com you will also find notebooks, sheets, envelopes, address books, invitation cards… all made with this absolutely natural material!
In order not to fall for granted, for once we are not giving away an object but an experience. An afternoon of riding to the granddaughter who loves horses, a massage for the stressed-out sister, one pedicure to mom or i concert tickets or l 'subscription to your favorite magazine are all great solutions for a gift that will surely not end up in a closet after the holidays.
If, on the other hand, we plan to donate a hi-tech product to the desk colleague, let's make sure that the manufacturer is environmentally friendly. On www.greenpeace.com is present Eco-driving of electronic products, a ranking of companies that manufacture this kind of products evaluated on the basis of energy consumption and waste disposal.
Un useful and ecological gift for the sporty friend who lives in the city? A bicycle! Once the holidays are over, it will be an indispensable ally to dispose of the extra pounds accumulated between lunches and dinners. If you think she is too lazy, but above all you have a larger budget available, you can always direct your choice towards electric and pedal assisted bikes.
And to top it off, have you ever thought about putting a endangered animal? On the site www.wwf.com it is possible to give a long distance adoption, an alternative and precious gift for the protection of the planet.
If you prefer more… domestic animals to tigers, orangutans, turtles and seals, you can give a sheep or a cow or a goat! Distance adoption of farm animals it is becoming increasingly popular even among those who live in the city because it guarantees economic support for the adopted animal and allows those who adopt it to always have fresh and organic dairy products.
