Think outside the box. Literally! Give the gift of an experience.

In our Sustainable Holiday Tips post, we suggested skipping the material gifts and giving the gift of your time. Because, hole-y sock, Grandpa does not want anymore slippers, or golf balls, or novelty gifts that will collect dust until Grandma pitches them in the trash.

And while this is not exactly the same, we think it falls in the same category. It’s not about things but what one can do with their time.

Can you feel it? Black Friday, Cyber Monday, buy-one-get-one, biggest sale of the year! Your email is flooded with offers. ‘Wait..now, they’re text messaging me.’ Buy, buy, buy!
