Secondhand gifts are the same as crafting “handmade gifts.” Anything that you can use from doing a simple yet thoughtful gift during holidays or occasions is right inside your home. Many eco-friendly enthusiasts use all the fabrics, ribbons, paper bags for packaging.

Still thinking how we can transition our lifestyle to a sustainable one. We walk a lot, we seldom take a cab or ride jeeps when we’re just in bgc or going to makati areas. We enjoy that a lot. We also do tiny living, so we really don’t keep too many stuff here. Kids also pass on their clothes to the next one and we accept second hand clothes from friends. Hmmm….I’ll think of ways to up our game.
