Sustainable gift giving & packaging

The search for a suitable gift can take a long time. But when it comes to giving presents, it's all the quicker: tear open, enjoy - and off to the bin with the paper, foil and glittery ribbon. Not really sustainable, is it? Fortunately, there's another way!

Denken you give gifts from the end

Ex-and-hop gift-giving is out. The average household has too much of everything anyway. Nobody really enjoys well-intentioned but superfluous dust catchers that are secretly thrown away after a while. Short-lived "fast fashion" also has an enormous ecological footprint. Give a sustainable gift - it doesn't have to be a decluttering guide by Marie Kondo! Think about what really suits the person receiving the gift. This will also help you avoid environmentally damaging returns if the gift doesn't fit or isn't to their liking.

Shared experiences that stickBeautiful

experiences that you present in the form of creative invitations or gift vouchers only take up a little space in the memory - that's where they are best kept anyway! Denkou'd better keep it simple - not everyone enjoys a tandem parachute jump! How about an invitation to a games evening with a raw food dinner, just like in the old days? Perhaps you could even squeeze delicious raw vegetable juices together: the compact Tribest Shine makes it easy and inexpensive to get started!

Gifts for consumption or gift vouchers always fit

If you do want to give something to unwrap and touch, choose things that are intended for consumption. For example, delicately scented body care from sustainable production and without unnecessary plastic packaging. Or creative food gifts to discover. From superfoods to sweet treats - for example the Winter Magic gift tin with 4 delicious raw food confectionery - you'll find lots of great ideas in the Keimling-shop you will find lots of great ideas.

Other sustainable gift ideas:

• Conscious gourmets will be delighted with a fruit and vegetable calendar that shows which foods are available locally and at favourable prices.
• pure, unadulterated water is perhaps the most precious gift there is on earth. The Kini jug water filter provides pure, spring-fresh enjoyment.
• Fashion, accessories and furnishings made from recycled materials are all the rage. For example, cool bags made from old school wall cards or motorbike jackets.
• Give the gift of a bee sponsorship so that the little majas can continue to diligently pollinate flowers and produce delicious honey next year.
• Nesting boxes, feeders or insect hotels are also sustainable gift ideas that are fun and sharpen the senses for nature.
• Gifts that enable participation are always a good idea. For example, handmade items from social workshops or second-hand items from the social department stores'.

You see, with a little imagination, sustainable giving is not that difficult! Still don't have an idea? Well, gift vouchers always work. Of course, these are also available at Keimling Naturkost: Gift vouchers

Wrap with recycled chicPrinted

glossy paper, glittering gift ribbons and plastic chips as filling material: the usual packaging materials are anything but environmentally and recycling-friendly. For a change, create gift packaging that has already had a previous life or can simply be recycled. We have a few nice ideas:

• A gift in a cut-open and decorated PET bottle - that's a surprise!
• Wrap socks or scarves in a lovingly decorated preserving jar.
• Old newspaper, tea towels or scraps of discarded clothing are also great materials for creative and sustainable packaging.
• It looks particularly spectacular when you wrap a gift in another gift. For example, wrap the men's fragrance in a casual jumper and secure it with a coloured cotton strip.

Perhaps you could do without any cumbersome packaging at all? This will automatically give you a few extra moments together. Whatever you choose, Keimling Naturkost wishes you an unforgettable and sustainable Christmas!
