Gifting Green: Why Eco-Friendly Gifts Matter this Holiday Season
The holiday season is all about giving, but let’s be honest—some gifts have a longer-lasting impact than others. This year, more people are choosing gifts that not only bring joy but also help take care of our beautiful planet. At WreathCo, we’re all about making it easy to send gifts that feel thoughtful and genuine, all while staying eco-friendly.
Whether it’s a fresh, handcrafted wreath or a simple card, there’s a feel-good factor to sustainable gifting. Here’s why going green with your gifts (and your decor!) can make a world of difference—and why fresh wreaths like our Yuletide Classic or Evergreen Grandeur are the perfect eco-friendly choice.
1. Fresh Wreaths Make the Perfect, Low-Impact Gift
Most of us have probably received a gift that ended up in the giveaway bin—or even worse, a landfill. A fresh, natural wreath, on the other hand, isn’t just beautiful; it’s a completely sustainable gift! Each wreath we make at WreathCo is crafted from natural, sustainably harvested materials. And since our process involves carefully trimming rather than cutting down trees, every wreath helps forests grow stronger.
For example, our Silver Bells Wreath showcases the stunning silver underside of pine needles—making it both eco-friendly and uniquely gorgeous! By choosing a natural wreath, you’re giving a gift that’s both breathtaking and kind to the environment. Plus, when the season’s over, it’s compostable, so it returns to the earth naturally.
2. Fewer Chemicals, Fresher Air
It’s tempting to go for artificial holiday decor—it looks great, lasts forever, and is often easy to find. But synthetic wreaths and garlands come with a hidden cost. Most are made from plastic and PVC, which can release harmful chemicals into your home and take centuries to break down. And unlike the refreshing scent of real pine, artificial wreaths add nothing to the experience.
When you hang a fresh wreath like our Winter Solstice Wreath, you’re filling your space with a natural, invigorating pine scent that’s actually good for you! The fresh fragrance has a calming effect, reducing stress and even improving focus. It’s a little aromatherapy gift from nature itself—and you don’t get that from plastic!
3. Support Local Artisans and Sustainable Practices
At WreathCo, every wreath is handmade in Washington state by skilled artisans who care deeply about what they do. Choosing a fresh wreath from us is a way to support local craftsmanship and small businesses that prioritize sustainability. Our artisans use only the best natural materials, harvested with care to protect forest health and support future growth.
When you gift a one of our wreaths, you’re not just sending a decoration; you’re sending a little piece of Washington, crafted with love and respect for the environment. Each wreath reflects the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the dedication that goes into creating something truly special.
4. Make Your Gift Count with Something Thoughtful and Unique
A gift doesn’t have to be elaborate to feel personal. A handmade wreath shows thoughtfulness in a way that a generic gift can’t match. WreathCo wreaths are crafted to bring natural beauty to any home, and with our easy, direct-to-doorstep delivery, sending something unique is as simple as clicking “add to cart.”
This season, instead of opting for something forgettable, why not choose a gift that leaves a positive impact? A fresh wreath—whether it’s our Silver Bells, Winter Solstice, or Evergreen Grandeur—is a thoughtful, eco-friendly way to bring joy to someone’s home and make a difference in the environment, one gift at a time.
