Thinking of wedding gift ideas that promote sustainability and earth wellness? Whether you want to spread your advocacy or simply go with the wedding’s theme, here are some eco-friendly wedding gifts that show love for the planet, and the couple!
Green-Certified Linens
Cozy and conscious come together in this gift idea. Go for Green-certified/GGOTS-certified (Global Organic Textile Standards) linens made with ethically sourced organic fiber.
Linens certified to be eco-friendly have no harmful substances used in their manufacturing, and the materials are sourced ethically – no human, animal, or environment was harmed.
Ceramic Home Decor
Ceramics are made from renewable resources like clay or sand and help reduce the depletion of our natural resources. They are also easy to maintain, which means they don’t require cleaning materials made of chemicals to stay in good shape – less tarnish, less toxicity.
Cheese Board Made of Reclaimed Wood
Check for stores that sell products made with reclaimed wood. A solid, rustic cheeseboard makes the perfect gift that the happy couple can use for romantic wine and cheese nights.
Hand-Woven Baskets
Handcrafted baskets made with sustainably-sourced palm or hemp can serve multiple purposes like an organizer bin, storage, or decor piece. Another good reason to give this as a wedding present is that it supports artisans whose craft has been passed down for generations.
Organic Area Rug
Area rugs make living spaces more cozy and cohesive. Check out those made with organic fabric like cotton or wool and with prints created using natural dyes.
Solar-Powered Outdoor Lights
This may sound like a boring gift, but it’s so practical and sustainable that couples will appreciate its value. These outdoor lights will not only help them save on their utility bills but will also help add more light and layers of safety to their home.
Soy Candles
Candles set the mood for romance at home, and if you want to send the planet some love, too, then a soy candle is a good option. Unlike conventional paraffin wax candles, soy candles are sourced from soybeans, a renewable resource. The candles are also biodegradable, much less toxic, vegan-friendly, easy to clean, and slow-burning.
Indoor Plants
Help the couple bring some green into their home with beautifully potted indoor plants. They not only help purify the air but also elevate the interiors’ aesthetics with a refreshing and earthy vibe.
Upcycled Art Pieces
Art pieces that use recycled materials like wall decor, sculptures, and furniture not only promote sustainability but also artistry. Consciousness and creativity in the form of upcycled art make a uniquely beautiful and meaningful gift.
Pajama Sets
You may also give the couple pajama sets made with GOTS-certified locally grown cotton and colored using natural dyes. Choose ultra-soft fabric that makes snuggling a must at bedtime.
Green Gifting is Always In!
Eco-friendly wedding gifts speak volumes about the giver and the receiver’s heart. In the middle of all the wine toasts, speeches, wedding dances, and confetti, we take notice of the earth’s heartbeat as we celebrate a union of human hearts.
