Top 4 Eco-Friendly Hostess Gifts
‘Tis the season for holiday parties. Before you head into your next celebration, consider coming in the front door with a unique and eco-friendly gift that will leave your party host/hostess singing your gift-giving praises all season long.
Vintage Corkscrew
When you visit the local flea market, stock up on unique vintage corkscrews. When you pair one of your finds with a delicious local or organic wine (you’ll find a great selection from the Brooklyn Wine Exchange), it becomes a memorable gift that will keep on giving throughout the holidays.
Rosemary Tree
As it states on the Williams-Sonoma website, “fresh home-grown rosemary is a cook’s dream.” This little tree of herbs is not only something your host/hostess will use, but it looks and smells like Christmas. Look for rosemary trees at local farmers markets or grocery stores or visit the Williams-Sonoma website.
Eco Picnic Box
While you may not be thinking picnic during the cold winter months, gifting your party host with an eco-friendly picnic basket from Brookstone is a great reminder that warmer days are ahead. With a set of bamboo plates and utensils as well as recycled glass wine goblets, your host/hostess may be inspired to enjoy an indoor picnic under the Christmas tree.
Breadboard
Pair a warm loaf of bread or pastry (we are fond of vegan and organic Brooklyn-based Clementine Bakery) with a chic breadboard made from sustainable materials such as these from Green Building Supply and this thoughtful gift becomes part of the party.
