subject: Hot Green Gifts - Appropriate Choices [print this page] It has become a popular trend over the past couple of years for people to choose green options whenever possible. Whether you are celebrating Father's Day, Mother's Day, graduation or a birthday, there are several great green gift ideas available. To make a splash at the next party you attend, try giving some of the hot gifts this year for the eco-friendly recipient.
One hot trend for the chef in your life is a cutting board made out of bamboo as opposed to the usual wooden or plastic boards. Bamboo is an excellent resource because it can be renewed quickly and easily. In addition, bamboo cutting boards do not have any artificial dyes, and they are less absorbent than other cutting boards. This means that it will soak up less water and juices, making it more sanitary than traditional wood cutting boards.
For the entertainer in the family who love to barbeque, solar powered tiki torches are a great option. They do not need harmful fuels or electricity to give off hours of simulated flames. Those who receive this eco friendly gift will love the thoughtfulness as well as the energy savings they offer.
How many times have you heard your father or mother complain when the electric bill comes in as the wonder where all the electricity is being consumed? With an electric consumption power meter, they can know for sure what is using the electricity and what is not. There is no more guessing and installation is it as easy as plugging the unit in to the outside power meter.
Those who love to be outside working in the garden will be thrilled to receive a reel lawn mower, which is just as easy to use as their old one. It runs without electricity or gas and can be adjusted to cut the lawn at whatever length is preferred. The green gardener in the family will love having such an eco-friendly tool to keep their piece of the Earth looking beautiful!
A solar charger is the perfect gift for the tech-savvy person always carries a million gadgets on them or never seems to have their cell phone charged. A cell phone can charge enough to make calls just by being left out in the sun. This solar panel eliminates the risk of draining the car battery for the sake of a phone call, and can actually be used to charge more than cell phones!
Why give the same, boring gifts that don't benefit the environment? Instead, give the people you love fun, useful and green gifts that they will use over and over again. It will be sure to make your gift the favorite long after the holiday or occasion has passed. Green gifts are guaranteed to be the most popular and appreciated hot gifts this year.
