Eco-New Year: gifts for those who care about the planet

The year 2020 coming to an end has presented us not only with challenging times, but also with the realization of how much damage we are doing to the nature around us. While we all sat on self-isolation, the planet “sighed”, the rivers and air were cleaned.

The upcoming holidays are a good reason to start the year with care for the planet. We have selected gifts for those who are just thinking about it and those who have been leading an eco-friendly lifestyle for a long time.

Thermal mug

This is a great gift option for those who want to take care of a loved one. A handy thermo mug from Smidge can be taken with you when traveling or hiking around the city to keep warm with hot tea for up to six hours. This alternative to disposable cups will definitely appeal to those who reduce their use of plastic.

By the way, we chose the “Championship” color for a reason. It not only looks stylish, but also adds brightness to the gray Moscow winter.

Shopper

A shopper is a universal thing that replaces both bags in the store and a bag when you don’t want to take too many things with you. Neutral pastel colors or bright print – you can choose depending on the recipient’s preferences.

Just one thing to add: even if the person you are going to gift already has a shopper, you can’t go wrong with such things – you can never have too many of them.

The book “I Care for the Planet. Simple ways to make each of your days eco-friendly.”

“Our planet needs protection right now. But you don’t have to go to the Amazon to plant rainforests or strike in front of a government building to save the planet. It is quite enough to start with your life and, by changing it a little, to live a much more environmentally friendly and conscious life”, – so says the author. And they prove it in the book itself. There they have collected tips from different spheres of life, with the help of which you can help the planet without much difficulty.

If you remember, a book is the best gift. Or a wonderful addition to it.
