All the buzz this Holiday Season seems to be about \u201cgreen\u201d gifts. I love the idea of giving gifts that don’t impact the environment and can be more personal than gifts we buy at the last minute without much thought given to what the\u00a0recipient might really like or use. Honestly, those usually end up in the trash, re-gifted or put in a closet and never used.<\/p>\n

There are several people in my family who \u201calready have everything,\u201d and if they don\u2019t already have it, I couldn\u2019t afford it anyway. Ha! If you have some of those on your list read on.<\/p>\n

\"ReusableI think the cute little pail\u00a0above filled with homemade goodies is a nice sentiment (make sure you put any unwrapped food in a cello bag with these containers). I might fill the pail with my own home-grown dried\u00a0herbs or famous rib rub (the recipe is a secret). It’s\u00a0very cute filled with cookies, with the recipe attached to the handle if it’s not a secret recipe. Last year I gave my secret recipe for pickled cold slaw to my brother, who is quite a good cook himself. He will not get that rib rub recipe though!<\/p>\n

What about art supplies in a reusable container for the artsy folks or kids on your list? The cool thing about both these gifts is the packaging is reusable \u2013 it won\u2019t be tossed in the trash.<\/p>\n

\"KraftThere are many organizations you could donate money to in a friend\u2019s name. First do a little snooping to find out their favorite charity. One year my friend gave her nieces and nephews a gift of an animal donated in their names to Heifer International<\/a>. For as little as $20, you can give a needy family a flock of geese or chickens. You could put the card announcing your gift (these are provided by the organization) in a 100% recycled Kraft gable box<\/a> and include a stuffed animal to represent the gift. Maybe you would like to tie on a pretty bow using Burlap Ribbon<\/a>. If you are the crafty sort, you can easily decorate the box too.<\/div>\n

If you’re a regular reader of our blog, you know how we feel about products that are \u201cMade in the USA<\/a>\u201d. If you make gift baskets, consider an “American Made” basket or tower and include a note stating that everything is USA made. We have USA-made Nested Boxes<\/a>\u00a0made with 100% recycled box board, which are also reusable.<\/p>\n

Remember, our Nashville Wraps Green Way\u00ae\u00a0logo signifies recycled, degradable, natural or sustainable packaging\u00a0that meets an exacting set of requirements for both materials and manufacturing. Our Green Way\u00ae packaging<\/a> is a great retail packaging solution\u00a0for today’s eco-conscious market. Another great way to promote giving green is to shop local. Are you ready for Small Business Saturday<\/a>? I hope you start thinking about how you can “Give Green” this year. Who knows? You may start a new family tradition.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
