Eco Friendly Graduation Gifts

Graduation gifts are the perfect time to give eco friendly gifts that are useful. There is a huge push towards the eco friendly lifestyle. So, check out these ideas for eco friendly graduation gifts and ideas for the graduate in your life.

These eco friendly graduating gifts are perfect for high school graduation gifts as well as college graduation gifts!

Recycled Graduation Invitations #1: Recycled Aluminum Pots and Pans

Recycled aluminum pots and pans make an awesome graduation gift for high school students or college grads because in most cases they will be starting from scratch. Whether they are living in dorm room with a small kitchen or moving into their first dorm room, recycled aluminum pots and pans are a gift they can keep and use for life.

Check your local Bed Bath and Beyond for recycled aluminum pots and pans. If you have no luck, then buy them online. There are so many eco friendly kitchen stores online with tons of recycled and eco friendly pot and pans.

Recycled Graduation Invitations #2: Eco Friendly Sheets

So yes, no student is really going to want sheets as a gift when they graduate, but when they go to make their dorm room bed or apartment bed, they will be so glad they receive these. Look online to buy the most affordable sheets made from either eco friendly materials or recycle materials.

There are many clothing and bedding options made from eco friendly fabrics that are all natural cotton, dye free, and made in eco friendly plants. They make awesome gifts that if taken care of will last for many years.

You may be limited on color options, but natural and white are always wonderful colors for sheets.

Recycled Graduation Invitations #3: Luggage

Any student graduating from college or high school can always use nice luggage. For an environmentally friendly twist on these green graduation gifts look for luggage made form recycled materials.

I have come across luggage made from recycled grocery bags, rubber tires, and other recycled pieces of luggage. They will cost a bit more than your average luggage set, but start them off with apiece or two.
Opt for more popular pieces like the small carry on rolling luggage we all use the most. Save the larger pieces for a later date like their wedding gift!

Smaller options that are also along this line are eco friendly grocery shopping bags. These make a great gift since we all go to the store. Your new graduate can be hip and cool with their trendy shopping bags while stopping the waste produce by plastic bags from the store.
