Create Sustainable Christmas Gifts for Loved Ones

Christmas is THE online shopping event of the year! This means a lot of love is put into thinking what gift to get you loved ones, but also a great number of gifts are never worn, loved, looked at or even kept. A fresh injection of creative ideas can change this for the better and for good.

How about a gift with a personal touch instead of a gift off the rack? After all, you know what your loved ones want! And to make sure you don’t waste any time, we’ll explain how you can easily create custom Christmas gifts without leaving your couch.

Choose a sustainable product

Of course, sustainability is a wide subject with many different aspects. Questions like, “Where does the product come from?”, “What material is it made of?”, and “How long will the person receiving the gift wear or use it?” are paramount when it comes to creating a gift that keeps on giving.

Organic clothing for quality

Generally speaking, organic products are more sustainable when compared to regular products. They are produced in a resource-saving way, and sustainable clothing is usually made of cotton from organic production. Other than polyester or other synthetics, it is often recycled material. Manufacturers avoid many chemicals that could cause skin irritation or rashes so that people with sensitive skin can wear them. This is also a reason why organic products are highly suitable when it comes to gifts for babies, toddlers and people with allergies!

The following organic products are available at Spreadshirt:

• Unisex: Organic Hoodie
• Women: different organic T-shirts, a long-sleeved shirt, a tank top, a sweatshirt
• Men: various organic T-shirts, a sweatshirt
• Children: T-shirts for kids or teenagers
• Babies: two baby bodysuits, two T-shirts, a bib

Other sustainable products

Giving lasting gifts also means thinking about the functionality of a product. The following products are either free of synthetics or “good for the environment”:

• Custom tote bags for shopping
• Drinking bottles and thermo cups to refill

Now you only need to create your own gift with these or and many other products so your loved ones will keep using them…

How to make it sustainable

What we mean by creating sustainable gifts is this is: don’t give a gift that the person wouldn’t appreciate. What’s more, try to imagine what the person receiving really – really – loves! All you need to do is find a product and then choose a design on the topic of what the person likes – boom! Add some text if you like, and you’ll have a highly customized gift that you can’t get in the shops. Here’s for an example:

Of course, you can change the test and design to your liking and create a gift that really fits the interest of your partner or any other family member.
