Homemade Green Gifts

Instead of buying a green gift you may want to try your hand at making it yourself. Combine your creativity and green materials and get starting on making your homemade green gifts for your family, friends and other people in you life. The gift of food is always a great idea. Find an organic recipe for things like granola bars, homemade bread or cookies. You can make these treats in bulk. Put granola bars and cookies in recycled or remanufactured glass jars and wrap bread in eco-friendly wrapping and decorate it as you please. Use this recipe for handmade granola bars at Simplebits.net and try this homemade organic chocolate chip cookie recipe at Delish.com, under organic chocolate chip cookie. You can also try your hand at homemade notebooks, jewelry, cards from recycled paper and homemade soaps, lotions and perfumes. There are many ways to use the earth in your gift-giving and making ventures. Remember to think outside the gift-giving box and get started. After all it is better to give than to receive. You'll be giving back to the earth and the people you care about.
