Natural Gifts On A Budget
I’ll start with these great gift ideas that will suit the nature lover who’d appreciate a meaningful gesture or a personal touch. They are unique gift ideas that you’ll find helpful if you are skint right now.
Ideas here involve either direct experience with nature or inspire a wild connection.
OutDoor Adventure Coupon Book
Create coupons for nature activities that you commit to take them on. Here are some ideas: a day hike, fishing trip, a stargazing date, wildlife watching, whale watching, camping, or forest bathing.
Put the DIY coupons in an envelope. Decorate it if you wish. Add a date for redemption as well so that they know you are serious.
A Garden Gift Basket
Collect some native plant seeds and put them together with a few gardening items in a basket. You could decorate a pre-loved basket, upcycle an empty cooking oil tin, or similar. Items to include could be gardening gloves, tools, or kneepads, a local guide to native plants and animals they attract, depending on your budget. To save money you could assemble your own guide by searching online for the local information.
Adopting a tree is another natural gift on a budget.
Adoption Gifts for Nature Lovers
Some people just don’t want any more material items. They don’t want clutter or they feel they have everything they need right now. For those with a soft spot for wildlife, these adoption ideas might be a hit.
Adopt A Tree
Identify a biologically or culturally interesting tree in a nearby area. Adopt the tree to mark her celebration. Give it a special name that has meaning for both of you, if you like. Go on outings to sit and enjoy the tree together. Observe seasonal changes, the wildlife it attracts. Take photos to give a timeline of the tree growth as your friendship grows. As a kit, you could include a digital or a physical adoption book to record observations and photos.
You can also adopt A Tree through the Orangutan Project.
These notes could help projects like nature’s notebook, which would also be a meaningful gift to science and in understanding climate change effects.
Adopt A Snow Leopard
Give her an adoption kit for a snow leopard as gift.
Adopting a threatened species may interest her. It’s one of those environmentally friendly presents for women who are animal lovers and not uncommon gifts for wildlife enthusiasts.
The adoption kit for the Snow Leopard includes a plush toy snow leopard + a certificate. What animal-loving woman would resist this gift of nature?
The Snow Leopard is a threatened species in need of conservation.
Adopt a Wild Dolphin
Is she a lover of ocean life?
Adopting a marine animal is a gift for those who support marine conservation. At this website, you can adopt a dolphin.
Gifts for Environmentalists
Suitable gifts for environmentalists involve things that support the plastic-free movement or are eco-friendly in reducing the carbon footprint, or promote animal rights, or care for the wildlife.
As plastic is a huge environmental issue, avoiding disposable plastic will likely be at the top of her list. And, of course, a big priority for the environmentalist right now is the mitigation of climate change, i.e. reducing our carbon footprint.
For some meaningful gifts for the environmentalist, look for good environmentally friendly gifts such as these next four…
Reusable Produce Bags
Reusable produce bags are perfect for those who care about the harm from plastic debris in the oceans or in reducing their carbon footprint, since plastic is made from fossil fuels.
Avoiding single-use plastic bags and using eco-friendly re-usable bags helps to reduce the threats to our environment.
What else is good about these?
Apart from reducing the use of plastic, the ones shown here are made of unbleached cotton rather than nylon or polyester, making them even more eco-friendly in their manufacture and biodegradability.
The color-coding on these helps with organizing and identifying items. The different colored tags allow you to simply know bag size or assigned produce or use for the bag. The set shown is one example of what’s available in reducing plastic waste and are perfect gifts for environment lovers. You can choose small, medium, large, or a set with all three sizes.
Reusable Food Wrap To Replace Plastic Film
A set of beeswax food covers is another of the unique gift ideas for nature lovers.
Using reusable food wrapping helps in reducing waste and toxins in the environment.
What else is good about them
Reusable beeswax wraps replace the need for plastic film when wrapping or covering produce or other foodstuffs. They can be used over and over again and are so much better environmentally.
They are easy to clean and will save dollars over time. It’s one of the many great gifts for environmental lovers available online.
Where to get reusable food wrap
I wrote an article on how to make beeswax wraps. If you are handy enough, you can make these yourself.
You will also find a sustainable gift idea selection at Life Without Plastic.
In Australia? Check out the Biome Eco Store for beeswax wraps or other gift ideas that are environmentally friendly.
a Room By Room Guide on Reducing Waste
Looking for more unique gifts for her, the environmentalist?
What about a book on the ‘how-tos” and tips for reducing waste? Zero Waste Home: The Ultimate Guide to Simplifying Your Life by Reducing Your Waste, by Bea Johnson is an ideal gift.
This book gives room-by-room instructions on reducing waste and clutter – these are lived ideas, done by the author, Bea Johnson. It is full of DIY recipes for environmentally safe and healthy products, tips, and tricks.
A Compost Pail For Kitchen Scraps
Here is a gift idea for the environmentalist who likes to give her garden a boost and at the same time reduce her carbon footprint.
It is an eco-friendly way of turning kitchen vegetable scraps into healthy fertile garden soil. It has an option of charcoal filters to help trap and control odors. It is a chic modern style stainless steel compost pail that is a better option than a normal bin.
A great gift idea for those who like to recycle biodegradable scraps.
The premium grade stainless steel is rust resistant and won’t leach toxic chemicals. Whether she is an environmentalist or just a keen gardener, she’ll appreciate this for her compostable kitchen waste.
Delivery Gifts for Her
Looking for sustainable gift ideas delivered to her door? Here are a few options for green gift ideas for that special lady.
Healthy Meal Kits Delivered To The Door
Give her the pleasure of a weekly menu of healthy meals sent to her door. She might like one or all of these meals meat-free, since a plant-based diet is more sustainable for the planet.
For the environmental health buff short on time, this is the perfect gift for her. Taking the pain out of meal planning (no more ‘what’s for dinner tonight’ stress).
Saving time are gifts any busy woman would appreciate, in addition to enjoying healthy food.
Options can depend on where you live. So check out the providers in your area.
Apart from fresh food to your door and not having to think about ‘what to cook tonight’, the benefits speak less wastage of food and reduced food packaging going to landfill.
Send Her Flowers
This is not one of those unusual gifts for her.
Flowers make typical birthday gifts for women. They also make great ‘just because’ gifts for her. Say it with flowers!
According to Feng Shui, fresh flowers attract healing energy and give off a calming, soothing effect to the viewer.
They are perfect Valentine’s day gifts, or for any occasion. They are the classic gift for women, especially on Valentine’s day, which started back in 18th-century England and continues today.
Give Her an ‘Easy to Care for’ Plant
Looking for green gifts? She’ll probably appreciate a nature’s gift rather than anything artificial.
Plants are great for uplifting the energy in a home. Just like fresh flowers, they attract healthy growing chi. Plants filter the air and add so much vibrancy.
If she is a lazy gardener, succulents are easy to care for and for that reason, especially popular. They require little water.
Air plants (Tillandsias) like those pictured need little care. Known as nature’s true wonders, they are the lazy gardener’s ideal companion.
In terms of sustainable gifts, Amazon claims their air plants are 100% greenhouse grown.
Because Tillandsias (air plants) are becoming endangered from over-collection, make sure to buy air plants that are grown 100% in greenhouses and not taken from the wild.
Tillandsias require no soil and usually grow attached to objects, which can be done with tie wire or hot melt glue. They require a spray of water weekly or more or less often, depending on the area.
Plants – Green Gifts
More plant ideas… gifts of green.
A Friendship Tree
Plant a friendship tree together. Offer to buy a tree and plant it together in a place that has meaning for you as a symbol of your friendship.
Gift a Tree (Bonsai Style)
How about a gift box with everything she’ll need to start and grow a Bonsai garden. This gift includes four seeds to grow four beautiful Bonsai trees of Jacaranda mimosifolia, Pinus aristata, Delonix regia, and Picea mariana.
The seeds are 100% organic, open-pollinated and without GMO or additives, and sourced from the best seed companies in the USA.
In the box is everything you need. It contains, seeds of four trees, four peat discs, biodegradable growing pots, plant markers, and an instruction manual.
Growing and tending to bonsai trees has a number of health benefits as it relieves stress and can provide a sense of reward.
Personalized Gifts for Her
Women do like to have something personalized, especially jewelry with special meaning. Here are a couple of ideas if you are looking for unique handmade gifts for her birthday or online gifts for her for any occasion in the way of jewelry.
Hand made Jewelry Gifts for Her
Pendants are treasured pieces especially for an environmentalist when they simply hint at nature.
This necklace, made in Hawaii from blue sea glass and sterling silver, is nature inspired – reflecting the energy of the ocean and the beautiful islands of Hawaii. The chain is 925 sterling silver.
You can customize the order. Freshwater pearl and starfish charms are some of the added options.
Give Her Earth Healing Jewelry
This Buddha Root Chakra bracelet set is meant to bring emotional peace and balance the mind, body, and spirit.
This gold-plated, lava and hematite (Latin meaning: Bloodstone) bracelet set is said to help with grounding one’s thoughts. Hematite contains iron and wearing it is thought to boost your blood iron levels.
Inspirational Gifts for Her
Journaling is a popular thing to do for self development and healing. It helps with developing intuitive thinking and calming the chaos. It is recommended as a daily habit for well-being.
Journals That Make Great Green Presents
Get her a not-so-ordinary journal, one that’s nature inspired.
This leaf-leather journal has a handmade cover that is plant based, durable, and waterproof.
Another option is a nature journal for her to record observations while she is outdoors.
Nature journals are a great way to reflect upon and capture nature that inspires us.
The two examples shown here are both step-by-step guides.
These will help her capture details of what she sees when outdoors enjoying nature.
The Law’s Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling and Keeping a Nature Journal are two ideal gifts for nature lovers.

There is just something about physical books over digital text that’s alluring. Books are popular gifts for women who are bookworms or seekers of knowledge or personal growth.
