Alternative Green Gift Ideas

Want to limit the eco-impact from your gift-giving this year?

Instead of the typical gift ideas, give an ‘experience’ gift.  Movies, concerts, restaurants, massages or cooking classes all are thoughtful alternatives of the typical stocking stuffers.

Another bonus: You can pick something you & the recipient both enjoy to spend time together!
