Getting your green-living friend the perfect gift is not an easy task, but here are some suggestions you might find interesting.
I'm sure you have at least one person who's into green living, the objects in his/her home, the food they're eating the way they clean. This people are sometimes misunderstood, but in fact green living is the future. Have you noticed that major car companies make hybrid and electric cars? And what about furniture and carpets? Not to mention cleaning products, all over the Internet, there are thousands of DIY recipes for cleaning agents. So here are the things you can get for a green living person.
Eco-friendly Presents
Whatever you do, don't get this person paper things, maybe you don't mind but for a green living person a paper present is causing physical pain. There are plenty of cotton made products for the house you can get your friend. If your friend drinks a lot of coffee get him a nice cup, there is a site you can make your own. Not only it looks nice but is also made to protect the environment and you can make your own design.
A great gift is something made form reused or recycled items, like bottles, shoes, credit cards, light bulbs, tennis rockets, old vinyls etc. You have no idea how great a bottle terrarium looks like, I have one at home and it gives the room more exotics. If you can't find something appropriate, make something out the handmade gifts are highly appreciated. I have seen some amazing lamps made form light bulbs.
If you're not into this, there are some other options to choose from, starting with upholstery. There are Eco-friendly fabrics – cotton, linen, hemp used to give your furniture a new look. I'm not sure about the cleaning though, because I have a wool rug and let me tell you it is not an easy job to clean it after a stain occurs. Talking about flooring there are variety of mats you can buy as a girt, I recommend you go for bamboo.
The plant is one of the fastest growing I know about, so there is nothing wrong of getting your green friend this kind of rug. And when mentioning it, you can also buy some green cleaners, of course it is better to make them on your own. I know a great recipe for an enzyme cleaner, but keep in mind you'll have to wait about a month before it is ready. While you're preparing it you may even start to live green as well.
