Now that Thanksgiving is over and your tummy is no longer stuffed, it\u2019s time to get moving<\/a> and start shopping for the holidays! I always try to shop for the holidays before Black\u00a0Friday, but this year I\u2019m running a bit behind. Nevertheless, I wanted to share some green holiday gift ideas in the hopes of making shopping for the holidays less stressful and more eco-friendly.<\/p>\n

Mom\u2019s Gift for the Holidays:<\/h2>\n

For the holidays, Mom is all about reusing and re-purposing items. This recycled chalkboard<\/a> is the perfect gift for the holidays! It\u2019s made from an old mirror and chalkboard paint<\/a>! It\u2019s simple to make and what mom wouldn’t want a fabulous chalkboard for the holidays? It\u2019s great for writing lists, jotting down recipes, and writing fun little notes. It\u2019s the perfect green gift for the holidays.<\/p>\n

Dad\u2019s Gift for the Holidays:<\/h2>\n

Dad is extremely handy when it comes to\u2026 well, just about anything! My dad\u2019s gift for the holidays is simple yet useful: a wallet made from recycled inner tubes. It\u2019s eco-friendly and cool, just like him.<\/p>\n

Grandparents’ Gift for the Holidays:<\/h2>\n

My grandparents are also pretty eco-friendly. They enjoy taking reused items and making them into beautiful works of art. This red wicker frame surrounding a clock is a great holiday gift. It turns a boring clock into artistic decor<\/a>. I know they will love this gift for the holidays!<\/p>\n

My Brother\u2019s Gift for the Holidays:<\/h2>\n

My brother Zippy<\/a> enjoys playing the guitar, so these re-purposed guitar hooks<\/a> would be a cool gift for the holidays. They are a great organizing tool, and I know my brother can always use more organization <\/a>in his room. He will flip over his gift for the holidays!<\/p>\n

My Friend\u2019s Gift for the Holidays:<\/h2>\n

My friends and I love shopping on Etsy<\/a>. You can find pretty much anything! This item is the perfect upcycled-yet-chic necklace,<\/a> and it\u2019s made out of salvaged hardware! It\u2019s a beautiful and timeless piece of jewelry I know my friend will love for the holidays.<\/p>\n

My Pet\u2019s Gift for the Holidays:<\/h2>\n

Since my pets are part of my family, they get green gifts for the holidays, too! This raised pet feeder<\/a> re-purposed from a skateboard would be the purrrfect present for my furry friends. \u00a0If you\u2019re looking for another great pet gift for the holidays, check out this pet bed<\/a> made from 100% recycled wine barrels! It\u2019s creative, cute, and functional.<\/p>\n

Giving eco-friendly gifts for the holidays is a wonderful way to show people you love how much you care while giving back to our environment.<\/p>\n
