The following are some green gift ideas:

clothing made of natural fibers Natural fibers are renewable and no petroleum products are used as in acrylic fibers.
steel items such as pots and pan. Steel is recyclable. 55% of all steel is recycled.
bicycles not only will it keep more cars of the road it will keep you fit.
houseplants Plants create a relaxing environment. Houseplants improve indoor air quality. They remove toxins from the air.
trees Buy a live Christmas tree and plant it in your yard after the holidays. Not only will it make your yard more beautiful it will help the environment.
Trees are also great to commemorate special events such as:

In July of 2009, 3 high school freshmen formed GreenTree of Tulsa as an environmental group that would help reduce the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Our plan is to plant trees in Tulsa and surrounding areas to sequester Co2. While working on this project we came to realize that not only the planet and humans are affected, animals are also greatly affected. Climate change and high Co2 levels are severely harming the polar bear's habitats. Due to their dangerous situation, polar bears have become a large part of our project. Since July of 2009, GreenTree of Tulsa(GTOT) has planted over 2,150 trees to help save the polar bears and our environment.
