“Oh gee, thanks! You thought I’d like this? Did you wait until the last minute again?” Sound familiar? How many times have we “mis-gifted?” Maybe it’s time to rethink your gifting and try personalizing your presents while making them earth-friendly at the same time. One way to do this is by putting a photo of the giftee’s child, grandchild or pet on a tote bag. Totes are very “out there” and make a statement. A tote can show the world your heart and help save the environment.
We always need a tote to carry our groceries in. Think of the countless paper bags and oil-based plastics that won’t be wasted. Totes organize and store. Keep craft projects tucked away in them until they’re ready to use. Going to the gym is easier if your bag is already packed with shoes, towels and workout clothes. Going to the library or bookstore? One word – totes. Getting the idea?
There are other ways to be “green” while keeping your gift personal. At Rooms & Blooms we carry a large selection of green gifts that can be personalized (or not).
