At thegreenlist.nl we get incredibly happy with good, sustainable gift ideas in the December month. A product from the Philips Refurbished Editions shop is such a good idea. Because why necessarily buy something new when there are also nice, reliable products that deserve a second chance? Put it on your gift list if you are still looking for a curling iron, straightener, shaver or other (grooming) gadget for yourself or someone else.
Philips Refurbished Editions: a great gift idea!
In cooperation with Philips
We all buy off a bit, especially online. And if it's not quite to our liking after all, we return the package just as easily. Ai. But what actually happens to all those return products? Many of these items are still perfectly good. Even better: they are new! Think of the wrong gift, a device in the wrong colour, the wrong model, something that turned out not to be needed after all or received twice. They go back to shops or manufacturers unused - and often even unopened. And then? Exactly. In many cases, these products are not resold, but destroyed. Simply because checking, repackaging and putting them on sale costs too much time and money. A super shame, because all those ‘fine’ gadgets obviously require tons of energy, raw materials and effort to make.
Unboxing a refurbished gift.
Fortunately, there is a much smarter and more sustainable alternative: refurbished. In the refurbished shop from Philips, products like these are given a second life. Each appliance is tested, cleaned, repackaged and - where necessary - fitted with new parts. Completely refreshed, inside and out. Is everything in order? Then it gets a refurbished seal of approval from Philips in the form of a big sticker on the box. And you just get the same warranty on it as with a new product. Sounds good? We think so too!
Refurbished: a durable and affordable choice!
By 2024, thirty thousand products were already given a new life in this way, good for a saving of over 10.5 tonnes of materials. Wow! By comparison, that's about 700 filled wheelie bins of materials saved in a year! The Philips Refurbished Editions are available all year round, with a changing selection. So in short, it's definitely worth checking out this shop if you're looking for a device or gift. Also nice: for a refurbished product you pay (a lot) less. And that makes this gift tip not only better for the planet, but also for your wallet. See, those are the best tips!
