When it comes to wedding gifts, many couples are taking a different track, one that\u2019s more eco-friendly. It\u2019s kind of the same reason that they choose quality cubic zirconia rings<\/a> from Birkat Elyon<\/a> over diamonds, which damage the environment during the mining process. But eco-friendly doesn\u2019t have to mean plain or boring. \u00a0Look for gifts manufactured in a sustainable or ethical way, or items that are \u201cupcycled\u201d from other materials like plastic bottles. You\u2019d be surprised at how easy they are to find these days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birkat Elyon offers some great sustainable gift ideas for the happy couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LUXURY BEDDING:<\/strong> You can find everything from sheets and cozy throws to a beautiful duvet cover made from organically-farmed cotton. A company like Boll & Branch offers high-end bedding that promotes fair-trade manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGREEN\u201d COOKWARE<\/strong>: It\u2019s gotten much easier to find quality kitchenware that\u2019s made with healthier ceramic non-stick coatings and other materials that are responsibly sourced. GreenPan is one company to check out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ECO-FRIENDLY STORAGE<\/strong>: Every couple can use food storage containers. Choose those made from glass, versus plastics that can leach BPA\u2019s and other chemicals into whatever you\u2019re storing. Plus, they won\u2019t stain. Glasslock offers a full set of glass storage pieces that easily go from freezer to oven or microwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPCYCLED LUGGAGE<\/strong>: When the couple want to take a long weekend, a quality duffel bag or rolling bag is just the thing. Look for materials like vegan leather and upcycled plastic bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY<\/strong>: There are more and more household gadgets built to use less energy or even operate off solar power. Look for things like solar-powered garden d\u00e9cor or energy-saving appliances that they\u2019ll feel good using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONSERVATION GIFTS:<\/strong> Gift the couple with a donation that supports bees or other endangered wildlife, or to groups that plant much-needed trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZERO-WASTE GIFT CARDS:<\/strong> Provide them with a gift card to eco-friendly stores, or those with ethical or sustainable brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long before it became a \u201cthing,\u201d Birkat Elyon<\/a> has supported green initiatives with our cubic zirconia jewelry<\/a> pieces. They don\u2019t harm the earth, and they don\u2019t have the ethical baggage that mined gemstones come with. We\u2019re proud to offer high-quality designs you can feel good about wearing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
