smallbagApril 22nd marks the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day.  At GIFT HERO, we are doing our part to be environmentally responsible. We seek out products that are made by companies that use recycled materials, natural wood or organic materials.

We use minimal amounts of recycled paper as packaging to ship our products. No plastic filler or bubble wrap. We also encourage customers to order multiple products by offering free shipping on orders over $75, thereby further reducing packaging waste and providing more energy efficient shipping.

We are particularly proud of our eco-friendly reusable gift bags. Our bags are made from 100% recycled plastic milk jugs (although you would never guess it). Our bags are durable and serve well as gift wrap, shopping bag or storage bag for toys. 

In honor of Earth Day, during the month of April we are automatically giving away free gift bags
 with the purchase of products from our Eco-friendly toy category.

Recycled Crayons

MissBEcoStarsPrimaryI just love this new product, Eco Stars from Miss Brittany! These adorable, star-shaped crayons are made from 100% recycled crayons. Did you know that there is a National Crayon Recycling Program that has saved 52,000 pounds of crayons from landfills and turned them into recycled crayons? To learn how to send in your crayons and get your child’s school involved, visit the Recycling Program Page.

We also carry Miss Brittany’s line of organic fun dough products, for all of your eco-friendly children’s gift needs.
