Eco-friendly Gift Hampers for Eco-conscious

Holiday spending has been continuously on the rise, especially in the last decade. No matter where you are around the world, there is an urge for consumers to splash out on items specifically around the holiday periods and special occasions.

Not only is the household debt burden going strong in countries like Australia, Canada, China and the United States, studies show that 99% of the gifts purchased during this time would not even be in use after six months. Statistics reveal a massive increase in landfill waste around the time of a holiday, from ribbons and wrapping paper to containers and unwanted gifts. These issues are not only a huge waste of your hard-earned money but can be a detriment to the environment.

What options do I have in choosing a more eco-friendly gift?

However, all hope is not lost! Gift Hampers Hong Kong has come up with a few green gift-giving guidelines for you to combat these problems.

1. Stop purchasing gimmicky, holiday themed products – they simply wouldn’t last past the season. Instead, do a little research into the recipients’ wants and needs, and buy something practical, something that could be consumed. Choosing gifts that help the environment like organic presents and natural gifts would be a wonderful idea and eco-friendly food gifts are also fantastic, because they can actually be utilised and the user reaps the benefits over time.
2. For those who are uncertain about what to get or what gifts would suit the recipient or occasion, eco-friendly hampers and eco-friendly gifts are the way to go. Hampers, in general, contain a couple of items, so there is definitely something for everyone. Eco-friendly gifts are great because even if the recipient isn’t a big fan of them, little harm is done to the environment even if they are cast away.
3. If you’re wondering if gifting can be eco-friendly or even zero waste, the answer is yes, it can be, but you need to plan ahead. We, at Gift Hampers Hong Kong, is committed to reducing our carbon footprint on the planet by choosing a smart eco-friendly hamper packaging technique, be it an eco-plastic lite packaging, 100% biodegradable cellophane wrapping or 100% recyclable & reusable material.
