Getting Started

Simplifying the holidays doesn’t mean you have to stop giving (or receiving) gifts. It’s about seeking meaningful, wildlife-friendly alternatives that don’t harm the planet. And often these alternatives are more memorable, unique and economical than mass-produced items found in big box stores.


Step 1

 Decide what kind of holiday you want. For example, are you looking for more family-friendly activities, do you want to create more charitable or community-based traditions, or focus on centering sustainability in your celebrations? Once you know what you want to change, it’s easier to act. 


Step 2

 Get creative. Use our gift guides to find ideas on ways to give fun, thoughtful gifts and experiences that show how much you care about your loved ones and the environment.
