How to Buy Green Gifts for Women: A Buyer’s Guide for Guys
Guys tend to be a little blinder to ecological issues than women—just saying—so, if you’re a guy looking to buy green gifts for women chances are that it’s because that special woman in your life is a little bit more conscious about the environment than you are. Am I right? Maybe you should take a lesson from her and become a little greener yourself, but until then, you can rely on this article to help you figure out the dos and don’ts of buying green gifts for women.
Buying green gifts for women doesn’t have to be hard. All you need is a little understanding of that particular woman and a tool to find those green gifts. The tool is the easy part—the Internet has made shopping for green gifts much easier than it ever was—you don’t have to be seen in those weird shops with the dreadlocked clerks that smell like patchouli—not that there’s anything wrong with that. Ten minutes is all it takes—that’s a commercial break during the game—and you can find clothing, accessories, jewelry, and even useful stuff like paper products and even cards that all make wonderful green gifts.
One word of advice, recycled gifts can be a great alternative but I’m not talking about a wind chime made from empty beer cans. Think of clothing or accessories made from reclaimed materials such as cloth scraps from textile mills or even hemp. These recycled gifts show that you’re not only putting a little thought into the buying process—which shows you care and have a sensitive side (which women love in their men) but they are also have a unique personality of their own.
However, make sure when contemplating recycled gifts that the women you’re buying for would actually use or wear the product. It’s not enough to buy environmentally friendly products; the lady has to like it as well. That’s where the knowledge part comes in. You do have to spend a little time thinking about the woman, her style, her attitude, and what she likes to wear and do and then find the perfect environmentally friendly products to match.
That part can be tricky but women are generally forgiving (at least a little bit) and they’ll recognize the effort you’ve put into finding those perfect (or even a decent) environmentally friendly products and it will pay off in spades.
