When I usually wrap my gifts during Christmas, I often uses recyclable boxes and gift wraps, then sometimes I've made some drawings and then colored it. In that way, I feel the spirit of Christmas within me and it also made me feel more satisfied with it. As an addition for an eco-friendly gift idea, I've known a site which offers products you can give to the people you care. These products are <a href="http://www.happytiffin.com" rel="nofollow">stainless steel tiffin containers</a>. They are really a perfect gift idea, you can afford to buy it and much valuable to any ordinary gift presents.

But sometimes you can give green gifts and the recipient won't even realize... although, yes, the reusable bags, bottles, napkins, might be a dead giveaway! :) Lisa – I agree! But sometimes you can give green gifts and the recipient won’t even realize… although, yes, the reusable bags, bottles, napkins, might be a dead giveaway! :)

I love shopping at etsy.com for gifts. You can get something that they won't have seen and it's handmade which is great. Of course if I didn't think some of my friends would hate me I would buy them all Sigg bottles, reusable bags, To Go Ware, CFLs, cloth napkins, etc.. Thankfully I can give those gifts to my mom and one of my best friend and they are super happy. I have found when all else fails, give organic candy. I haven't had one person that wasn't happy with organic food. :) While it can be hard sometimes to give your non-greenie friend an eco-friendly gift I think you can almost always at least make it some what green.
