It's not just white, Christmas.
On the contrary, more and more the choice of people of all ages is going in the direction of doing (and receiving) Christmas presents green, giving a signal of a possible future, in which production harmonises with the demands of the environment, a new time in which shopping is no longer an end in itself, but functional to people's true well-being. Green Christmas presents means handmade products, made by small artisans, it means preference for organic products, but also, for example, giving priority to useful objects.
It also means, quite simply, making a present while spending little, putting creativity and a sense of fun into action. cotton carpets for green gifts

BIO IDEAS

Gift-giving is a gesture that turns into the preservation of natural resources by eliminating non-biodegradable packaging.
To take plastic bottles out of our homes comes the trend of personal hygiene products in solid formnot only soaps (preference for liquid detergents seems to be declining) but also shampoo and conditioner, through to body creams and toothpaste can all be found in capsule form, sometimes even disposable. Even the kitchen foil, the one for wrapping food when storing it in the fridge, now finds its version sustainable waxed cloth (with natural beeswax).
It is used and reused, after a cold wash, is very decorative, often uses recycled cloth (e.g. from old shirts), and comes in cardboard gift boxes, super organic and very beautiful. Many brands of cosmetics, even low-cost ones, have launched organic or natural lines, which make the green gift very popular with young girls.
Let us not forget that it is precisely the younger generations that are showing a marked sensitivity to the environmental protection, and so indulging them in this approach will make our gift even more meaningful.

CREATIVITY: ORIGINAL AND PLAYFUL IDEAS

Giving a green gift becomes a creativity contest. It can be done on a “who spends the least” basis by creating an unmissable date with a very low-cost gift exchange, which can be set to define the challenge.
Have you ever tried to make a gift with less than 5€? It's not easy, but if you can do it, the fun is guaranteed. You can give themed, utility-oriented gifts, perhaps repeatedly, from year to year without ever changing the type of item being given.
A kitchen mat - forbidden as a gift to the beloved - can become the ideal object for exchanging good wishes among friends. Same object, but to be chosen all different, ranging from the available patterns and choosing according to the personality and taste of the recipient.

HOMEMADE

An object handmade by the giver is the quintessence of affection, a true dedication of the heart, capable of communicating the deepest sense of Christmas warmth. A warmth made up of attention, of creativity works that are truly priceless. Green light to all the arts, from papier-mâché to embroidery, from painting to crochet, from gardening (you can't get any greener than this) to cooking, with the preparation of special sweets, liqueurs and every delicacy imaginable.

WHERE DO I FIND THEM?

Apart from this last category, the others are all for sale, including neighbourhood shops and craft workshops, which are also increasingly present in the global village.
The artisan becomes 2.0 and lands online, directly or through platforms created as a showcase and virtual shop for very small producers. All that remains is to search, surf, or peek here and there from social networks.
