10 Eco-Friendly Gifts To Get New Homeowners Who Want To “go Green”
More and more people are becoming environmentally aware, meaning they are turning to eco-friendly products that can combat the effects of global warming and climate change. It wasn’t too long ago that personnel at grocery stores came up with idea of having their customers use reusable grocery bags. However, people are learning more about the environment and the kind of danger it is in; thus, it’s spurring more people to take decisive action to find more green products than just organic cotton reusable bags.
More people are living by the motto, “reduce, reuse and recycle”. There are all kinds of energy efficient products on the market that use raw materials. When a person/couple/family chooses to become homeowners, you can give them the gift of “green”. Start by taking your organic cotton bags to the store or use the Internet to find some great eco-friendly gifts.
Reusable Coffee Cups – If you love drinking coffee (especially on the go), consider using reusable porcelain coffee cups rather than plastic, paper or Styrofoam cups. These coffee cups are thermal constructed and double-walled so your drink stays hot. They usually come with silicon
lids so you are not accidentally splashed such as the ones you can throw away.
Self-Powered Flashlight – Any new homeowner could use this kind of flashlight. While flashlights have always been a great idea to give as a gift, this flashlight is just an improvement. There are some flashlights
that are designed with a radio and alarm; handy for times of power outages.
Solar-Powered Mobile Phone Charger – When you have no idea what to get a person, a solar mobile phone charger is a great gift. Chances are the person is going to have a cell phone and having a solar charger can help them when they forget where they placed their phone’s electrical charger.
Natural Cleaning Products – Another great idea is to design a gift basket and fill it with all kinds of eco-friendly cleaning products. Nobody, renter or homeowner, can have enough cleaning products. If you don’t want to use a basket, consider giving the gift in a reusable bag. Your gift will be considered practical and seen as thoughtful too.
Bamboo Towels – Consider giving the new homeowner bamboo towels as a gift. Bamboo towels are created from biodegradable bamboo and are softer, silkier and more permeable than often used cotton towels. On top of that, bamboo towels are anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic, great for people who have sensitive skin.
Rechargeable Batteries and Charger – While no one battery is the best battery, if you’re thinking about giving them as a gift, consider giving them rechargeable batteries with a charger. Batteries will always be needed until the day certain items no longer need it.
Electric Consumption Power Monitor – There are many electrical appliances that can be unplugged, saving on electricity. With this device, the homeowner can make themselves aware of what appliances can be unplugged as well as calculate what the electrical expenses will be.
Environmentally Friendly Bags – Want to help the homeowner “go green”, consider giving them organic cotton bags or reusable shopping bags. Organic cotton bags are easy to store and clean; plus, they are tough enough to hold lots of weight. Reusable shopping bags can be used anytime the homeowner needs to go the store.
Food Basket – If you want to have your gift make an impact on the homeowner’s belly, consider giving them a food basket. Fill it with all kinds of treats such as organic fruits and vegetables, coffee and more. Since it takes a lot of money to become a homeowner, a food basket is a thoughtful, and perhaps even considerate, gift to give.
Reel Lawnmower – Chances are the homeowner is going to have a lawn that will need to be taken care of. Why not give them a reel lawnmower with a price tag of $100 or less? Believe it or not, they’ll be glad to take advantage of this since they won’t be spending any more money on a gas powered lawnmower.
