Green gifts
The environmental movement has made such strong inroads
into popular culture that companies now sell green gifts. These gifts
show your commitment to the environment and also acknowledge the recipient's
commitment to going green. Green presents make an eco-statement and
are great for any occasion.
Green gifts are new to market and are relatively unorthodox. One example
is a green pod. The pod clips to a purse, belt loop or backpack and
turns inside out to expose plants. To put away the pod, one simply stuffs
the material back into the pouch.
In order to promote sales of green gifts companies often run promotions
that are environmentally friendly. For example, a company can pledge
to plant a tree in your name or in the recipient's name if you make
a purchase. In addition, you can simply purchase a card to note that
a tree is being planted in the recipient's name and make the tree your
gift.
