Choosing a thoughtful wedding gift can be like running through a maze of ice cream makers and decorative napkin rings. Should your present be whimsical or practical? Will it be used once, or will it last? Whether you’re sticking to a registry or thinking outside the box, a personal gift demonstrates that you put thought into the couple and the world they want to build together. Choosing an ecologically conscious gift, then, is the perfect way to help a sustainably minded pair lighten their footprint.
Here are some ideas for presents that prioritize environmental health, reusability, and/or sustainable lifestyles—feel free to add your suggestions in the comments! (And remember, purchasing locally sourced gifts is inherently more sustainable, as they rely less on fossil fuel transportation and excess packaging for shipping.)
