Chirstmas gifts that arent a waste?

[u/meatsbeth27]

Any thoughts on gifts that are made to last? I am very new to this style of living and I'm trying to make an impact and effort when it comes to gifting. We use cloth to wrap gifts and have for years, its nice to bust out the same cloth year after year, but we are starting to evolve and want to purchase less and less. Any ideas on good gifts for the family that don't require packaging and might help support local economy? Ages range from one year to 95 so any and all thoughts on this are welcome. Thank you for your help with this!

Visit a local art market and get some nice handmade soap, felted wool ornaments, treats like apple butter, wool dryer balls, etc. There’s lots of people making useful things from scratch in your area, and buying from them directly saves packaging and shipping.
