Meaningful Gift Giving

Here are some ideas for gift-giving that are low on waste but highly meaningful:

  • Support local businesses by purchasing gift cards or giving the gift of an experience.
  • Give a gift as a donation to a favourite charity.
  • Give the gift of time. Please lend a hand to an older relative or friend by dropping off their shopping or meals or putting their carts out on collection day.
  • Make your own gifts. Try knitting a hat, painting a canvas, or baking.
  • Recyclables make great material for Christmas crafts and cards.
  • Consider alternative ways to wrap gifts. Reuse bags and boxes that you already have at home. Use cloth bags, tea towels, and a t-shirt, or avoid covering completely.
