What’s on your green Christmas list?

Christmas is near and many of us want to make our celebrations more meaningful, as well as more sustainable. From eco-friendly gifts to eco-conscious decorations, there are countless ways to have a green Christmas without compromising the festive spirit.

SM Store carries SM Green Finds products that are eco-friendly, made from natural and local ingredients and supports local communities. Together with their partners, SM Store offers product options that help promote the well-being of our planet.

If you have not yet decorated your home for the holidays, Kultura at SM Store carries Christmas ornaments and decorations that are made of indigenous materials. Consider getting a 15-inch Christmas tree made from abaca. It comes in green and red and will fit in well in a small corner of your living room. Other ornaments made of abaca include star parol and star parol wreath.

SM stores offer products that help promote our planet

Don’t forget to check out those hanging abaca bears and lupis star parols that will look good in your front yard. If you collect angels, you might want to add the 10- or 12- inch angels to your assortment.

While at SM Store, don’t forget to drop by ACE Express at SM Store to get hold of eco-friendly cleaning solutions like the Bio Glow collection. It is also a good idea to stock up on ACE’s LED light bulbs.

You can then move on to SM Home and look out for eco-friendly gifts. Canadian or Hosh Bamboo Bath Towels will make perfect gifts as they are highly absorbent. Check out also the KEA line of dining and kitchen ware. The brand has oval trays, rectangular baskets and chopping boards, great gifts for friends who are into dinnerware.

Green choices make the holiday season joyful

SM Green Finds can also be found in Toy Kingdom. Gift children with toys that will keep them busy for hours. Get them Play Doh’s School Day Adventure or Crayola Silly Scents Unicorn Medium Set. Children will also enjoy Woodlets’ Bankee, Melissa & Doug’s Self-Correcting Number Puzzles and Hape’s Fix-it Tool.

Before you leave SM Store, drop by SM Stationery for sustainable gift bags. There are jute bags that come with Christmas designs or no design. If you like to wrap your gifts, get a roll or two of kraft paper and pair it with a simple card or ribbons.

Being mindful of our choices, we can make this holiday season not only joyful but also kinder to the planet. Whether you are gifting thoughtfully or decorating sustainably, your green Christmas list will help keep the festive spirit alive while reducing your environmental footprint.
