Bamboo gifts are perfect for the environmentally conscious.

Products made from bamboo are quickly gaining a reputation for being the eco-friendly alternatives to plastic stuff that end up in the oceans. Bamboo is all-natural and biodegradable, grows fast, is naturally pest-resistant and antimicrobial, and sustainable. Plus it’s also versatile. In fact, bamboo plants, once cut and processed, are used as construction material (such as bamboo fencing and paneling), turned into fabric, made into furniture, and infused into many personal care products. 

We’re pretty sure that in your family or circle of friends there’s that one person who advocates for the use of so-called ecobags (no matter how tacky these are) and other environmentally friendly things. They probably even have an oriental bamboo garden with plenty of green plants, wind chimes, and strategically placed bonsai trees.

When their birthday comes up, forget the same old gift cards. Just take a pick from these clean and green bamboo gift items that will surely make them hug you instead of a tree. Who knows, you might catch the ecobug and turn into a green warrior too!
