With Christmas quickly approaching, you might be rushing around to buy those last-minute gifts. Here are a few ideas for eco-friendly Christmas gifts that won't break your budget.



1. Soy Candles
A soy candle is a great eco-friendly present that you can buy for under $10. Soy wax is biodegradable and is made from renewable sources. Paraffin wax candles are made from oil products and can produce dangerous toxic soot, hence the soy candle movement. Soy wax candles last longer and can provide more heat to your home in the winter.






2. Eco-Friendly Staplers
Eco-friendly staplers are a great gift for your green friend on Christmas. Instead of using metal staples to connect paper together, they cut and fold the paper so they stick together. This is very simple idea that could save tons of staples. You can find a green stapler at Eco-Friendly Staplers Online.







3. Organic Fruit Basket
Making your own organic fruit basket is a wonderful Christmas gift. Try getting organic fruit at your local farmer's market or health food store. Organic fruit tastes so good, you might convince someone else to start buying organic too! For more information on why buying organic food is so essential, read our article Organic Food for the Environment.




4. Solar Laptop Charger

A solar laptop bag or solar laptop charger is a great green gift for any techie in your family. They are essentially a small solar photovoltaic panel built to charge a laptop computer on the go. There are many different versions of these available. You can find them on Ebay or by simply googling solar laptop charger.


Whatever you decide to get your loved ones and friends for Christmas, try keeping it green this holiday season!
