Exploring Gifts For Tree Huggers

By Linda Ruiz


Tree huggers, otherwise known as environmentalists are often also minimalists. This is just one reason it is good know an individual before deciding on gifts for tree huggers. Though, there are some gifts which are universal, environmentally safe and practical. When looking to gift someone, individuals can help save the planet at the same time by giving those which are green and environmentally friendly.

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.

On the other hand, at natural areas, this is not often the case. In fact, a number of artisans often frequent these areas on a regular basis. While in these scenic areas, some individuals also take photographic pictures which can also be sold for profit at a later date. Many creative individuals make a living this way by alternating between different types of media and interests.

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.

Outerwear of all shapes and styles often makes a good gift for those who love to go camping. Green camping gear made of bamboo and other sustainable fabrics are often a good gift for those looking to spend a bit more. Those wishing to spend less might consider a bamboo utensil set or clean canteens. Regardless of the price, most often environmentalists are going to appreciate the gift, and the thought.

An unusual gift an individual can give to a tree hugger is that of a love for gardening. By giving books like "Grow Vegetables, " and others related to organic food and drink, recipients often become involved in gardening and cooking in ways that improve even the healthiest of lifestyles.

One of the coolest and most inexpensive gifts one can give is a pair of socks. While organic cotton and wool socks are nice, bamboo socks are more comfortable. Bamboo socks come in a variety of different colors, patterns and styles and can easily be found online.

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.
