Five Last-Minute Ideas for the Green Gift Giver
Do you have a few people left on your list? Are you wondering what to give them before time runs out? You still have a chance to purchase something personable and spectacular. Browse our list for zero-waste options that will make both you and Mother Nature smile.
1. Give An Experience
Do you know someone who loves taking in a show? What about getting them tickets to a play or performance in 2023? You could also set them up to see their favorite sports team, or a local comedy performance. Think about their favorite interests and go from there. Don’t rule out an afternoon at your local museum!
2. Sign Them Up For a Course
This is the perfect solution for all the hobbyists out there. From sewing to wood-working, music lessons to graphic design, from cooking to novel writing to taking the perfect picture, you’re sure to find the right fit for anyone. Honing a talent is the gift that keeps on giving, and a thoughtful gesture at that. Take a look to see what’s available in your city or town, and check online as well. Whomever you’re shopping for will have something to look forward to in 2023!
3. Set Them Up With a Subscription
One of us here at KGBF once received a wine subscription for the holidays. For three glorious months, quality bottles with little note cards about their origins arrived in the mail, and nothing could have been more exciting or rewarding. Do this favor for someone in your life, whether you choose libations, fine cheeses, gourmet coffee, or even something cooking-related. Have a reader in your life? What about signing them up for a magazine or newspaper? The world is your oyster!
4. Channel Your Inner Baker
There’s nothing wrong with a homemade pie or a tin of delicious cookies. Gifts that take time mean a lot, and you know what? You’ll probably have fun putting them together. Turn on some holiday tunes and book it to the kitchen, and if the occasion requires it, make something savory instead. We’ve never known anyone to turn down a quiche!
5. Plan a Trip Together
This last idea is an extension of our first, and you can apply it to whatever your relationship or wallet dictate. Feel like a splurge? Purchase two plane tickets for you and your special someone for a destination you’ve always wanted to visit. Want to stay close to home? Plan a fun day trip or nature experience for a weekend in January. You can’t lose with this one, and it’s also a great option for a family member or friend. Who wouldn’t crack a smile at a fun surprise like this one?
