Exploring Gifts For Tree Huggers

By Linda Ruiz


When looking for sustainable gifts, there are a number of options. Creative individuals can often make gifts for tree huggers out of recycled materials. Others, set up shop and offer creations for sale. Some import/export stores also offer items made from recycled wood and other items which could be considered sustainable.

Sustainable gifts, while more prevalent, are still hard to find in some areas. Depending on the area in which one lives, a handmade gift or store bought one might be a better option. Another option is to order green, environmentally friendly gifts from a number of different nature based websites.

While most people prefer to simply buy something from a store, or online, there are others who make gifts from recycled materials. Metal, Plastic, Wood, all are fun to work with and can be crafted into a beautiful works of art. Plastic being the easiest, then wood and metal. Wood can be carved into various animals and objects. Whereas, metal on the other hand often requires at least hand, if not more advanced tools for making art.

When it comes to different types of art that can be made from these recycled materials, the sky is often the limit. From ink pens to foot stools, there are many different creations which can be made in a short amount of time. Individuals looking for ideas on different creations can always surf the internet for ideas, inspiration and patterns.

Organic t-shirts, dresses, skirts and other outwear is often available online and at local Natural oriented shops in different areas. These are often some of the best and most comfortable clothing one can buy. It is still important to assure that anyone wearing the clothing does not have allergies to the dye or materials.

Something else a tree hugger might appreciate are books on various topics. Tree huggers generally love gardening and recycling, so books on these subjects and organic cooking often make great gifts. If living in the same area, helping out in the garden a few times a week can often benefit a friend or neighbor. Gifts also come in all shapes and sizes and are not necessarily tangible assets.

One of the most inexpensive and coolest gifts one can give an environmentalist is a pair of socks. Socks come in a variety of colors, sizes and styles. Whether female, male or transgendered, socks are often a great gift. These great foot protectors and warmers can now be found in a number of organic fabrics. Whether at an art festival, fair or store, there are a number of bright and interesting colors and patterns.

Housewares often come in a variety of recycled materials. From Bamboo utensils to wooden bowls, these are all excellent options. Wooden bowls are often available at art festivals, stores and online. Bamboo utensils can often be found at a variety of natural and health food stores.
