If you have a friend that is concerned about the environment, consider  purchasing an environmently friendly gift for them. Environmentally conscious gifts are also nice to give to those that are not aware of environmental issues. You help the environment not only in your purchase but also in making others aware of our environmental issues.

Clothing Gifts for the Environmentally Conscious
Some wrinkle resistant fabrics or non-organic clothing use formaldehyde in the production process. Formaldehyde is not only dangerous to people; its also not environmentally friendly. Other chemicals abound in many of the clothes that do not carry an earth conscious or organic label. Clothing made from cotton and other renewable resources are at the top of the list for gifts for the environmentally conscious. Look for plush terry robes at sites that specialize in green clothing.

Baby clothes that help the environment and protect the baby at the same time are available on many websites. You can find specialty sites that list all the green label companies whose clothing make safe and environmentally friendly gifts. You will find everything from tee shirts to jackets, suits and dresses.

Handbags and footwear are also available on sites that make clothing gifts for the environmentally conscious. Selection of environmentally friendly gifts is one area where the Internet takes the lead for ease of selection and purchase. It is far easier to find environmentally safe clothing online than it is to hunt through stacks of clothes in brick and mortar stores.

Every Day Items Make Great Gifts for the Environmentally Conscious
Check around your house and see how many plastic bags you have laying around from your last grocery or clothing shopping trip. You may reuse these to some extent but often they simply take up space in land fills. This is one reason that a permanent cloth shopping bag makes a great environmentally friendly gift. The consumer has one or two bags that they use each time they shop. This saves trees used to make paper sacks and precious oil used in the production of plastic.

Environmentally friendly household items such as shower curtains, throw pillows and furniture all use renewable resources to create their product. The bean bag chair of the 60’s takes on a new look with fashionable, yet sturdy hemp fabric covering it. You can even purchase a matching ottoman for a gift for the environmentally conscious friend and they will welcome the addition to their home.

Of course, not everyone needs to purchase a gift as large as furniture. For smaller gifts, choose from selections of towels, napkins, tablecloths, scrubbing mitts and hot pads. The same rigid standards are true for smaller items as for the larger ones. Every little bit helps the environment and makes a difference.

Sometimes saving the environment means saving natural resources from depletion. What could be more necessary than water? A low-flow shower head changes the amount of water used. Toilet dams make the tank smaller and reduce waste up to 30 percent. Fluorescent light bulbs utilize less electricity. These are great gifts for the environmentally conscious.

Food Gifts for the Environmentally Conscious
You will find a whole stash of food baskets that feature organic products for consumption. The baskets made from renewable sources come packed with the gifts inside wrapped in environmentally conscious ways such as recycled paper, but that does not mean they are not delicious. You will find selections that span almost all types of foods. Jellies and jams, cinnamon almonds, organic peanut butter, crunchy berry snacks mixed with granola and other healthy environmentally friendly gifts of food come packed together for the delight of your recipient.

Gifts for the Environmentally Conscious to Help a Cause
If your recipient has a personal cause that they fiercely care about, consider donating money to the cause in their name. This is one way to show that you care about what they think is important. Since everyone likes to get something, even though the environmental friendly gift is perfect, consider including a small jar of organic jam or other tangible product with your note of the donation. It gives your recipient something to open.

One Last Thought
When you wrap the present, use eco-friendly paper. You will find that most online and retail stores carry recycled wrapping paper. It is a nice touch to an already thoughtful gift.
