Are you tired of getting the same gifts for everyone’s birthday or wedding? Try mixing things up with an original idea, that is kind to mother nature.

A waterbottle is the best and cheapest gift idea. Unlike plastic water bottles that are thrown away or recycled after one use, you can reuse a Sigg water bottle over and over. With so much competition in the field from Nalgene among others, the prices have dropped Sigg-nificantly! 
Do you (or the person who you’re giving the gift to) like to be outside and enjoy mother nature a.k.a why you want an eco friendly gift. Try going to Locals Have More Fun and checking out the T-shirts and Jackets that are made with sustainablity in mind. Read more about the process on their site.
Another great idea would be a compost tumbler. This is a cheap way to reduce trash. A tumbler only takes 5 minutes of effort per week! Not many people know about composting and the great benefits, but it isn’t difficult to understand.
Something else that is eco-friendly would be lightbulbs. Using CFL lightbulbs can save you money on energy bills. The life of a CFL bulb is long enough that you don’t have to replace them as often as normal bulbs, saving money in the end.
Using some of these ideas, you can really surprise someone! These are un-common gift idea’s that would surely be appreciated. With so many people trying to be eco-friendly in this era, eco-friendly gifts are a great idea!
