Actividades: An object made from “waste” materials can express many things: on one hand, it has a critical and ideological dimension, and on the other hand, it is environment-friendly with the concern of the environment today and where Corporate Social Responsibility is also on the rise. For Christmas, you can give original gifts with messages that have such an implication: greeting cards made by recycled paper, fabrics or other reusable materials. You can find them on the fair trade shops or online websites, there are sites with creative ideas. Some ideas of gifts: Decoration: One of the most intimate gifts for Christmas: candles and candleholders… Give it an imaginative touch with a candleholder made from a punctured bicycle tyre or one made from the chain of a bicycle, very original and different… They can be accompanied by candles made from natural wax such as vegetable or bee wax, which do not contain petrochemical paraffin. Práctical: You don’t have to move too faraway from the typical diary, watches or keychain… the question is to give a twist to the gift and make it different. A notepad whose cover is a diskette, a set of wooden ballpoint pens with rechangable ink refill, a portfolio with a reused rubber cover, (in addition to be original, it is waterproof!), or a watch with a frame made from a punctured bicycle tyre… Practical options and very creative, you can even print your logo on it and your client will love it! With urban messages: The PVC advertising banners can give many options in using them to make original accessories: from a puff, to a cardholder, a bag, a suitcase or a apron with a contemporary design, colors, texts and messages… Do it yourself: This is another fun option for gift: objects that can be put together by the receiver. There are many options such as using carton packaging of milk and beverages, light bulbs and wires to make an original lamp, colored slides that can be put together to make a creative lampshade, etc. Send these pieces in a personalised box with instructions to assemble it and a photo of the finished product to encourage the receiver to get into the DIY mood. Put some creativity into your Christmas gifts and surprise your clients. This is the perfect festivity to communicate messages of peace and love… and the protection of our environment.
