Fun, Sustainable, and Inexpensive Last Minute Gift Ideas

Hi everyone,

Today I’d like to give some great inexpensive tips for finding that perfect gift at the last minute without breaking the bank and keeping our sustainability mindset in mind.

• Seed Packets Perfect for the gardener in your life are inexpensive, definitely renewable, and for the right person a fantastic gift, and potentially a new hobby. If you purchase vegetable seeds, you can even help them save money.

• Secondhand and Thrift Shopping Used items are always more sustainable and less expensive than buying new and, depending on the product’s quality or the item's condition, just as good as if not brand new. You can find nearly anything in a second-hand shop, from clothing to housewares.

• Dollar Stores It sounds like a desperate move, but Dollar Stores are open fairly late, have a large selection of items for kids, and are pretty much everywhere, so you’ll easily be able to locate one.

• Handmade Gifts This is the big one, are you an artist? Can you knit?

Even welding can produce a unique one of a kind gift that can be talking about for years to come.

That’s all I had for now. I hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday season.
