Product Description
This gift pack is the perfect solution for those who can’t decide which scent they like the most and want the flexibility to change the scent with their mood. With or without aromatherapy, gently weighted eye pillows can help relax the muscles behind and around the eyes and nose which can then trigger a relaxation response in the muscles in the cheeks, jaw, chin and neck. Since eye pillows block out light and relax muscles, they are ideal for a variety of “therapeutic” uses including, nap therapy, massage therapy, meditation, resting fatigued eyes, and, of course, savasana. These pillows can be safely chilled in the freezer in a sealed plastic bag or warmed in the microwave for approximately. 20-30 seconds. The gentle weight of the flax seed allows the pillow to smoothly and comfortably adapt to individual facial contours. Different essential oils may provide relief from stress, anxiety, or headaches.

Gifting Green: How To Make Simple, Elegant Bags for Eco-friendly Gift Giving

Latest studies estimate that it takes about 50,000 trees to produce all the Christmas gift wrapping paper needed every year. That’s the equivalent of 8,000 tons or an entire forest being cut down for something that people are usually too excited to even look at since they are in a hurry to see the gift inside. Christmas gift wrapping papers actually account for the 25% increase in generated waste in the US alone between the period of Thanksgiving and New Year.

We know it’s our responsibility to take better care of our planet. Here are a couple of eco-friendly ideas for wrapping your Christmas gifts.

Use Reusable Bags

Instead of wrapping your gift in wasteful gift wrapping paper or in paper bags that will be thrown away afterwards, you can choose to put your gifts in a reusable shopping or carrier bag. Although reusable bags are a bit more expensive than regular paper bags, they are better for the environment. You can just consider the shopping or carrier bag as part of the gift, especially since there are now a lot of trendy designs to choose from. Carrier bags are sturdy and can be used over and over again for shopping and other purposes.

Use Recycled Paper and Natural Gift Decorations

If you really prefer gifts that are wrapped in gift wrapper, make sure you choose recycled paper. This can either be the gift wrapping paper from the presents you received last year which you carefully smoothed out and kept for recycling, or you can buy gift wrapping paper made from recycled material. You can also choose banana paper, which is a very pretty paper made from the stalks of banana trees that are usually thrown away in the process of cropping bananas.

You can also use other paper items that you may have for wrapping gifts. For example, wrap your gifts in old newspapers which you’ve dyed a lovely sepia shade using leftover coffee. You can also use old magazines, maps and comic books instead of buying gift wrapper.

Make sure you use natural gift decorations that are both eco-friendly and visually stunning. Don’t embellish your gifts with plastic ribbons and bows that are non-biodegradable. Wrap your gift with a bit of twine instead of using tape and use pinecones, shells, berries or sprigs of holly as decorations.

Use Clothing Items

You can wrap small gifts in a pretty scarf, with the scarf being part of the gift. If you plan on giving recipe books or a box of brownies, you can wrap these in colorful tea towels made of organic cotton.  GP
