These 50 Sustainable Gift Ideas will inspire you to gift experiences, subscriptions and upcycled/recycled things you can wrap up. Sometimes, we have too much. Or we want to choose more eco-friendly gift ideas. This is a list of things which will keep on giving…

A thought about giving gifts which give more…
A gift of an experience can be a great gift for families, couples, teens, and kids. It’s kind of like a 2-in-1 gift where they get to open it one day, then they get to experience it another day.
A subscription is a gift which keeps on giving (who doesn’t like to get mail?!).
And an upcycled/recycled/DIY gift is thoughtful and practical.
BONUS: you can give these gifts throughout the year. For birthdays, showers, anniversaries, Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, and all the holidays. You can also look for gifts in stores which are marked sustainable, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly.

Family Passes
Family passes can be a great whole-family gift. Destinations like museums, science centres, zoos, acquariams and more offer one year family and couple memberships. We’ve had memberships to the Toronto Science Centre and zoo for years, and it’s a stress-free answer to the question “what should we do today?” activity all year long.
Family pass to one time events like movies and live performances can make a day adventure a treat.
I think its an awesome idea to give experiences as gifts. A lot of toys get played with for a few weeks and then it not touched for months.
I really like the idea of giving experiences as gifts. It’s the perfect gift for the hard to buy for person.
