Your colleague having a birthday, an anniversary, getting a promotion or moving to another employer: at work, there are often times when a gift needs to be arranged. But what is a nice sustainable gift for a colleague? Thegreenlist.nl<\/em> did some research and that resulted in this list: the nicest sustainable gifts for a colleague<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Sustainable gift for a colleague<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You like to give a good colleague a carefully selected gift. A gift that makes the jubilee, retirement, birthday or leaving colleague happy, but also the world. Below you can read about the best sustainable gifts for colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Give green<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Green does everyone good. A beautiful sustainable bunch of flowers<\/a> is always a nice gift. But want a gift that lasts longer? Consider organic (houseplant) plants from Sprinklr<\/a>, a box of bruisers from plant.nl<\/a>, give a cutting of your own plant, or organic seeds<\/a> to plant. Does your colleague not have a garden or a small living space? Then plant a tree as a lasting sustainable gift, for example through Treesforall<\/a> or Treedom<\/a>. Or choose to adopt an organic apple tree at an orchard in the Netherlands, such as Olmenhorst<\/a> or Fruit garden Verbeek<\/a>, where you can come and pick your own apples every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Durable bottle of wine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A bottle of red or white is actually always to your liking. But did you know that a lot of wines are not climate- and animal-friendly. Earlier, we delved into the world of wine to find out how we can enjoy it more sustainably. Well you can! Read more about sustainable wine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Give a surprise package<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A package of good food can be appreciated by everyone. Preventing waste is one of the most sustainable food choices. Choose a nice box from No Waste Army<\/a> or go for a seasonal vegetable subscription at Farm boards.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable gift ideas for a colleague: a grocery package with rescued vegetables from No Waste Army or an apple bomb of your own from a fruit grower in the region.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable gift voucher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Want to inspire a colleague to make green choices? Or do you know your colleague likes to take better care of the earth? Then a sustainable gift voucher is sure to fall on good soil. Choose the National Green Gift Certificate<\/a> for a wide selection of green gifts, a Nature's Gift gift voucher<\/a> for a choice of more than three hundred sustainable gifts including original nature outings, a ohmygood gift voucher<\/a> for fair gifts and you can make a second-hand shopper happy with a thrift store voucher. Does your colleague love fashion? Then the Sustainable Fashion Gift Card<\/a> an ideal gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Support a good cause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make your colleague happy by doing good for the world. With the NIKS voucher<\/a> from Greenpeace you can make a donation to a nature project of your choice. And there are lots more charity gifts with impact. Think of a donation to Foundation Jarige Job<\/a>, a gift against poverty from Oxfam Novib<\/a> or Gift<\/a> To KWF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable gift with a twist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are you looking for a playful sustainable gift? You all know a nappy cake for the pregnant colleague. But what about a toilet roll cake made from the sustainable toilet rolls of The Good Roll<\/a> with \u2018shit your age\u2019 or \u2018shit you're leaving\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durable gift for cold weather lovers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many home workers are often cold. Especially for these colleagues, a very nice gift tip: heat products from Stoov<\/a>. Tasteful (wireless!) cushions and heat blankets with infrared heat rays. To stay warm & comfortable anywhere, anytime, including at your desk with the Big Hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Sustainable Fashion Gift Card is also always a good gift for a colleague. This gift card can be spent at sustainable fashion shops. On the right: a fun homemade gift from Pineut and a circular perfume (unisex) from Ruik.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More sustainable gifts for colleagues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I came across many more sustainable gift ideas during my search. Followers of thegreenlist.nl <\/em>enthusiastically shared all their ideas via Instagram. I sometimes list them for you, so there is always a suitable and sustainable gift for an anniversary, birthday, farewell or retirement of that lovely colleague:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
