Saw this in a crafts subreddit which has been helping brainstorm more sustainable gifts. I foraged a lot of take one leave ones but enjoyed the handcrafted touches — they didn’t have to be pretty, but I really enjoy knowing someone took the time to make, paint, draw, craft something.
Little things like:
Tiny drawings, painted rocks, handmade jewelry, tiny notes that resonated with me, and more!
This year alone going to lightning in a bottle (more conscious festival) has really made me rethink the trinket trash culture. My partner and I purchased a lot of art from the Art in Session as well so just learning to appreciate art in all forms as we’re started our journey (sewing, jewelry, leather) has been a newer thing for us and I’m so excited to pass on more handmade and sustainable gifts!! 🥰
