It’s that wonderful but busy time of year again- Christmas! We enjoy giving some thoughtful presents to friends, family and loved ones but if you’re looking for something which is environmentally friendly and not damaging to the environment we have come up with some great ideas below.
At Pea Green Things there are plenty of eco-friendly Christmas gift ideas to choose that would make a perfect present for anyone you know. We have chosen some of our favourites below!

The BruBox, £23.49 for a starter brew kit and from £10.90 for a refill
Do you know any friends or family who enjoy drinking beers from different countries around Europe and the world? The BruBox would make the perfect gift for them as they can brew their own- at home! Using the starter kit, they firstly have the choice of making Bavarian Pilsner from Germany or London Bitter from England. Afterwards, the kit can be used again with one of many other refills including Belgian Trappist Ale, German Altbier, Czech Pilsner, American San Fransisco Steam beer and so much more. Each kit makes a whopping 18 pints- that should be enough to last through Christmas!

thougth is a good idea but thougth to give this idea is well under the bonnet of the car A fan is situate which generates power. This is then stored in a battery.
The car has to be moving to work. So what will happen if the car runs out of power? The wind will go through the grill and then start the fan which creates power that will be stored in the battery for later use
Also the power, that the brakes create when used, will power to the battery.
The car has dynamos in the wheels to work the lights like the old bicycles used to have.
Thank you Clare Mcvety

Another eco friendly idea would be to get cash for old phones and then buy gifts for your loved ones. There are online sites today that could offer you monetary incentives from old mobile phones. Thanks for sharing!

I love the Wired Chicken Egg Holder. It is very creative and really beautiful, but how come that it become an Eco friendly product? Hmm.. Is it because it is made of a recycled wire? Anyway, it is a perfect gift. Thank you. Going green is not that difficult see that with a used wire it became an egg holder, just with an imaginative mind and playful hands. You can make a difference and help to save Mother Earth.
