Christmas is a time for giving, but everything you give does not have to be brand new. This year take some time to think of the things that you can do that that reuse or recycle something that.s already in the world. A little thought and care can make a huge difference in avoiding damage to the environment and it can even be more fun.
There's a lot more to the .make your own. idea than meets the eye. Besides actually making something by hand, you could include in .make your own. giving a gift you already have. A big part of not just buying something is showing the love that comes from creating something personal. Service gifts can be incredibly special, so consider what it might mean to write somebody a card that gives the gift of your time.
Think of your friends and what they really need. Maybe you could use your baking or baby-sitting skills, or help somebody clean or move. Or if you don't have the time or inclination, think of finding a product handmade by a local artist. And at the bottom of the totem pole is: at least get your loved ones something that shows that you know they care about the planet.
