Eco Friendly Wedding Gift Ideas

Instead of jumping on the "wedding gift bandwagon" and buying yet another traditional set of china or crystal punch bowl, why not go green when you attend that upcoming wedding? Anyone can give money or a gift card to the happy couple. But they will be blown away when they receive an eco-friendly wedding gift from you.

Here are a few fun ideas to consider:

Cooking Classes

How about a beautiful - upcycled from wine barrels - cutting board?

This is a great idea for a young couple tying the knot. There are so many different types of cooking classes out there. You can choose certain types of cuisine or even send the new couple to a Cooking 101 class. The options are unlimited, plus, you'll be encouraging them to spend more time together, which can sometimes be difficult.

The Gift Of Food

Community Supported Agricultural Subscriptions are growing in their popularity among those who desire to cook green. CSA memberships, or subscriptions allow you to give the gift of food to anyone. Fresh vegetables and fruits can be delivered right to their doorstep by local farmers. These shares may cost upwards of a hundred dollars a pop, but if you're looking for a unique idea that you know will be appreciated, this is a great option.

Season Tickets

Did you know you can buy season tickets to just about anything? From national parks to amusement parks to sporting events, there most likely is a season pass for it. Season tickets to national parks are a great way to encourage a couple who loves the outdoors to spend more time together enjoying nature and having a great time in the great outdoors. They will be able to use your gift to wind down after a tough week at work or even just relax and enjoy each others company.

Upcycled Gifts

If you feel you really must get a more traditional item, consider going upcycled! Not only will you give a unique, eco-friendly gift, you will also divert waste from our landfills....beautifully. Here are a few ideas from our site: spike wine rack, upcycled pitchers, Bombay Sapphire vase, wine bottle sushi plate, reclaimed wood stripe frame, this wine barrel cutting board is a beauty, and so much more!

There are many different eco friendly wedding gift ideas that you can incorporate into your gift-giving repertoire. Be creative and see what you can come up with!
