The trend towards a green lifestyle is one we can all live with. The eco-trendy shopper this year will be shopping for not only the right gift, but for something that's earth friendly too. This year there are some new exciting green gift ideas for everybody on the green gift shopping list.
This year bamboo is one of the hot new innovative resources being used to make an amazing variety of earth friendly products that make great green gifts for everyone on your gift list this year. For instance textiles: you probably wouldn't think so, but did you know that bamboo is incredibly soft? In fact it's softer than cotton! Bamboo has a luxurious feel against the skin. Not only do bamboo textiles feel silky soft, they look great, with a luxurious quality to them, even after repeated washings, they remain softer than the finest cotton towels. Also keep your eyes out for bamboo kitchen utensil sets, cutting boards and even furniture for the house.
Textiles
What to look for in an eco-friendly gift.
- Is the gift appropriate for the person?
- Does the gift reduce energy consumption?
- Can the gift be re-used again and again replacing a disposable item?
- Can the gift be recycled or is it made of recyclable products?
Reducing energy use is a big part of living the green lifestyle. Smart green gift ideas that help save energy are a welcome gift for home owners. The new The Delta Water Amplifying Shower Head revolutionizes the showering experience. The dual-setting shower head offering a water-saving comfort spray of 1.85 gallons per minute, and a high-volume spray. The water-saving comfort spray setting operates at 1.85 gallons per minute, but thanks to the amplifying technology, you don't think you're sacrificing performance because it feels like the standard 2.5 gallons per minute water saving shower head. So you save water and energy. Programmable thermostats are another example of a green gift that reduces energy consumption. They give homeowners complete and accurate temperature control of their living environment. Typically installing a programmable thermostat is actually rather easy, and it can result in reducing home energy heating and cooling costs by as much as 35% and that's a significant savings of energy.
Books featuring earth-conscious tips are a thoughtful eco-friendly gift ideas too. There are a whole bunch of great green living books out this year from how to tips, to doing an eco-friendly home remodel, to educational arts and crafts projects for kids using earth friendly items natural from the house and garden.
If you hunt around a little you can even find a whole new world of earth friendly toys for kids including idibids the new line of plush characters for kids and role play toys from Green Toys including a very cute tea set.
Solar power is the way of the future and today you can power your entire home on energy rays from the sun but hooking someone up with a full solar energy array would be a bit eccentric, however there are lots of cool solar powered gifts for the home and garden that make an ideal green gift choice. The other day I found a solar powered gnome holding a lantern that's perfect for the garden. And there's a solar powered pool cleaner that works better than chlorine, or how about the solar powered fluorescent shed light that installs literally anywhere you want light.
Organic body care products are a nice gift choice for him or for her. They say you care because they are free from potentially dangerous chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Organic body care products are the all natural healthy alternative to the popular off the shelf bottles of chemicals they package up and market to the general public. They are available in an endless variety of delightful scents which are appropriate for men and women alike.
