5 Eco-Conscious Gift Ideas For Valentine’s Day and Beyond
It’s easier than you might think to give an Eco-Conscious Gift
We love to see the rise of thoughtful trends like gifting without wrapping paper and books instead of cards that will quickly land in the trash. Beyond ditching single-use plastics for reusable bags and water bottles, it’s easier than ever to reduce our impact on the planet. We’ve put together a list of meaningful gifts that are eco-conscious and sustainable.
1. For The Person Who Has Everything
Support the Wildlife Conservation Society by naming a Bronx Zoo Madagascar hissing cockroach for your loved one complete with a digital certificate. https://bronxzoo.com/roach
“A Gift to Remember. You don’t always have the right words, but you can still give them goosebumps. Name a Roach for your Valentine, because roaches are forever.”
2. If You Can’t Be With The One You Love
Consider making a donation of a meal in a loved one’s name or memory. By donating to an organization near you, you’re providing nutrition and companionship to someone who may not be able to get out often. God’s Love We Deliver cooks and home-delivers nutritious, medically tailored meals for people too sick to shop or cook for themselves. https://www.glwd.org/
3. For The Person Who Still Loves to Put Pen to Paper
There’s something about a fresh journal or planner that really excites us here at Bonita Semana. Maybe it’s the possibilities, maybe it’s the instant feeling that we have it all together now that we have this tool. In any case, we know we’re not alone in our notebook-loving ways. We love this tree-free, handmade journal. The brand donates a portion of your purchase to support Tehila, a Non-Profit organization that promotes the prevention of child cruelty in Zambia, Africa.
4. For The Love of Pets
Show your dog some love and help reduce the plastic waste making its way into our landfills and oceans at the same time. Check out this eco-friendly starter kit for the fur friend in your life.
5. For The Practical Person
An e-gift card is sustainable and always fits <3
