Sustainable Holiday Tips 🎁✨ Gift Wrapping, Decor, Outfits + Gift Ideas

[@alannahgraham__]

Alternative Christmas tree idea: decorate your houseplant(s). I've previously added lights to a huge climbing pothos. Over the last couple of years, I've decorated my Norfolk Island Pine, which is a tropical plant that looks just like a Christmas tree. I also knitted some mini bobble hats that I hang on him as baubles/decorations (I say he, because his name is Norman). And I knitted a larger bobble hat that he wears with in place of a traditional star/angel.

Video idea: clips of Goose falling asleep, sleeping in different places, in various bun shapes. The sustainability advice is great, but he’s quietly curing my insomnia over there at the side in the best possible way.

Haha I think you’re onto something there. Maybe “watching dogs sleep” should become an official treatment for insomnia! 😆

I've started to see medium sized potted trees you keep year round inside or out as foliage but decorate at Christmas. Could even be used to decorate for other holidays. We have house plants anyway, why not tiny Christmas trees?

Honesty, a great idea! If I had a yard I would look into it!

consumables: for example I like nut butters but they are expensive so I wouldn't mind being treated to one as a gift, homemade jams, cookies and such, but also non-food stuff like soaps plant cuttings: this requires forethought but that makes it even cooler services: maybe a day of free babysitting for parents, offering skills like gardening, repair etc. donations in their name: I donated money, got a certificate, wrote a note and gifted it with a bottle of non-alcoholic punch Also i recently got the idea of making little travel sewing kits in old tin containers, but I haven't yet done it so I can't atest to how successful it is...

!!!! lol you make me laugh. What you said about gift guides and how you don’t like them because how does the gift guide know the people you are gifting to. I have the same thoughts. Off to go ask my parents what they need for their road tripping. Oh I also ask my brother if he would like clothing, objects, experiences, or money.

Here a year late but I love this sweater!

I tend to watch gift guides to figure out things I can add to my own list because apparently just wanting books isn’t a good enough

please stick w silver if silver looks good on him gold only works for certain complexions and make many people look jaundiced

I actually come back because of you. 🫶 I was gonna say something weird about relatability and I like to follow people who I think I could be friends with if I knew them in “real life” but stoped myself but then reminded myself how this is something you might say. So I said it. Anyways, thank you. 🫶

This is so sweet 🥲. I so appreciate you being here and sharing this. Thanks for coming back 🫶
