A Green holiday gift plan isn't just good for the planet, it's good for the gift giver. Be sure to let those who buy gifts for you know that you appreciate gifts that honor the planet. Make out your own wish list. When you make your wishes known, others in the family and gift-giving circle may also request gifts that help the planet.
Ask to have something repaired. Do you have jewelry, shoes, or a coat, that you loved, but now needs repair? Let your family know how much it would mean to have the well-loved gift back in use.
Ask to have your box of photo's arranged in a photo album. You may even have the album, but not the time to arrange the snaps into a book where they would be appreciated.
Request a gift that will support the Nature Conservancy. The 2009 green gift guide helps purchase habitat protection for animals that range from hummingbirds to Jaguars. Gifts over $50 include a subscription to the Nature Conservancy Magazine.
Request a holiday gift from the World Wildlife Fund gift catalog. Gifts range from $25 to 2.5 million dollars. All gifts help wildlife and their environments.
Consider a green-themed book. Even if your loved one does not own a book reader and you must purchase a paper book, more and more books are being printed on recycled paper.
