Most of us love gifts- to give and to get them. The best gifts are the ones that touch the heart of the ones who give them and receive them. We take pains to hunt for the best gift to present to our loved ones, to see the sparkle of joy that shines from their eyes at the sight of what we took the effort of getting for them.

The joy is doubled when the gift is something not just picked and packed straight off a shop rack, but put together by you especially for that person with only him/ her in your thoughts. If you would like to add your personal flourish and make the gift a bit more personalised, making an assorted goodie basket could be a great idea. If you are an ethical shopper, there are immense options for you to choose from in recycled gifts. A bit of effort and you could come by some of the most amazing gifts made of recycled materials, which in addition to being extremely stylish can also serve very practical purposes. Recycled materials can be used in an ornamental manner, due to their broad range and versatility.
