With Black Friday approaching, we’re taking this Waste Not Wednesday to talk about 🎁 sustainable gifting 🎁 once more! This year, many of us are looking for cost effective options, and luckily, sustainability and cost effectiveness are not mutually exclusive. There are both homemade and purchased options that will reduce waste in our environment, go easy on your wallet, and bring a smile to even the hardest to please in your group.

Whether you’ve been planning a month or it snuck up on you, Thanksgiving is upon us next week, and it can be a little stressful. That’s why this Waste Not Wednesday, we have some low-waste tips to help your dinner sail as smoothly as a gravy boat!
