There are many different ways that families celebrate Easter, but when children are involved, this sometimes means the giving of an Easter basket filled with treats and an Easter egg hunt. We’ve gathered a list of thoughtful gifts that will serve a purpose and bring joy well after the egg hunt is over.

In the United States, it is estimated we toss 25% more waste during the time period between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Let that sink in... this four week period accounts for one-quarter of our total annual waste. If we changed our habits just slightly, it can result in amazing benefits for Earth.

Our guide includes a variety of gifting ideas you can purchase or DIY. Minimalist mamas, don’t forget to forward this guide to your significant other - I’m sure they will get the hint!

While I know the “standard” is sweet treats or little plastic trinkets, I’m hopeful that by teaching our children to gift with intention, Valentine’s Day no longer has to be such a wasteful holiday.

Our gift guide is filled with eco-conscious and intentional gifts that will bring joy well after the holidays are over.
