Why Experience Gifts are the Perfect Sustainable Choice for the Eco-Conscious

Sustainable, experience gifts like a spa day are simple and natural

Giving a gift doesn’t necessarily mean giving a product that will end up increasing waste, it can also mean a delightful yet eco-friendly gift. But how? Experience gifts, like the ones from sites like Giftory, are great for the eco-conscious. Why? Unlike buying physical, material goods, what you’re giving can be a great experience with a very low environmental impact.

The Problem with Traditional Gifts

Traditional gifts have a high environmental cost. Everything from manufacturing, packaging, and transportation is contributing to pollution and waste. With experience gifts, nothing needs to be shipped, flown, or even delivered. So, in a lot of ways, they are a lot more eco-friendly. Give the gift of an experience and you’re giving something that isn’t going to end up in a landfill.

The Joy of Giving Experiences

If you’re giving someone a high-flying helicopter tour or a pampering spa day—these gifts last a lot longer than that cute and cuddly stuffed bear. They leave lasting memories and that is the real gift. Giftory’s gift collection includes driving experiences, food and drink tours, sports and adventure activities, and sightseeing tours. These kinds of green gifts an eco-conscious person is sure to love!

Reducing Environmental Impact

The impact of an experience gift is minimal. You’re not using up resources to make the physical product. Many of the experiences at Giftory are eco-friendly ones. Things like sustainable workshops and eco-tours have little impact. With an eco-conscious type of mindset, experiences from Giftory are a good present to give a loved one.

Supporting Local and Sustainable Businesses

Besides being better for the environment, giving an experience gift is also better for local businesses. Many of the Giftory experiences are put on by local businesses. In some cases, it’s an eco-friendly, small business. For example, a farm-to-table dining experience serves up sustainably grown, local produce, and supporting local businesses can encourage them to expand their offerings.

Creating Lasting Memories

The best part about a gift is the memories that are created. Experience gifts for the receiver are to keep and cherish. Look around Giftory’s fantastic selection of experiences and you can find the best options for anyone. So, if you want to find the perfect experience for your loved one, look no further.

The Sustainable Choice for Thoughtful Giving

Experience gifts are the perfect gift to give. They take the guesswork out of what to get a loved one, and they can be used for any occasion- a birthday, an anniversary, or just because. Now you can rest almost all assurances that every experience that you gift will be an eco-friendly one.
