Here are some great last minute eco-friendly gift ideas for the season
We all know a few eco-fanatics who would love these.
7 years ago
The end of 2017 is almost here, but if you’re like most people that means nearly zero percent of your holiday shopping is done. Eco-friendly products are all the rage right now, so you probably have someone on your list who needs an environmentally gentle knick-knack or two. Ecotopia at Siam Discovery is kind of the “it” spot for that right now. Here are some cool gift ideas for eco-fanatics.
Doi Kham snacks
Working under the Royal Projects Foundation, Doi Kham makes a ton of sustainable food products that are perfect for mini-gifts during the holiday season. Try the delicious and crunchy salmon flakes, which come with Thai-style rice crackers topped with salmon bits. There’s also flavorsome dried fruit if you’re looking for something a little more pedestrian.
Eco-friendly cosmetics
If you think food is a little too plain as a gift, you can always snag some eco-friendly cosmetics from brands like Mindhara, which seek out alternative and natural methods to replace the harmful chemicals that are normally found in beauty products.
Organic personal care
It might feel weird to give your loved one a gift that “fixes their face,” but if you know any skincare fanatics, Ecotopia’s range of organic facial masks made using ground rice and yeast will hit the spot. Buying for dad? There’s even all-natural hair loss treatments that use Buriram jasmine rice as a base.
Herb-based beauty care
For something aromatic, Herbpiness is another local beauty brand that uses herb-based alternative medicines, mainly diffused through inhalers and aromatic balms. The orange scented inhaler provides refreshment and rejuvenation, and an uplifting yet light scent that is perfect for Bangkok’s mugginess.
Take a break
Technically, this isn’t a gift idea—at least not a good one— but all that shopping is going to make you thirsty. Ecotopia is packed with healthy and delicious sustainable drinks to help quench your parched throat. Try the Cocoburi coconut water with smart packaging that incorporates the coconut shell, or grab a refreshing cup of fresh-pressed juice at Ecotopia’s food corner.
