Forget thank you notes, here are 4 sustainable gift ideas to say thanks a million!

Thank you notes are almost non-existent in todays high-tech world... we think you should bring back the love, with an eco twist.

1. The gift of life

A brilliant way to say thank you is by gifting a potted plant or even some seeds with growing instructions to a friend or loved one. It's the thank you gift that keeps on giving!

2. The best way to the heart is through the stomach

Another excellent gift idea is passing on the gift of baked goods. Give the option a sustainable twist by using locally sourced ingredients and placing them in an upcycled jar for the recipient to make.

3. The gift of knowledge or peace

Why not say thanks by booking attending an eco-class together! You can learn a new life skill like composting or sewing. Check your local council's website to see when your upcoming classes are.

If that's not your scene, why not try a yoga or exercise class together?

4. The gift of time

One of my favourite ways to say thank you to someone is just offering time. For example, are they a parent? Maybe you could offer some of your time for baby sitting, or perhaps you could tend to their garden for them.

All of these gifts cost nothing for your wallet or the environment but it can make such a big difference in somebodies day.
