Living simply and healthfully while making a significant, long-lasting impact on the environment and society – that’s the definition of the good life, says reuseit.com. This holiday, you can help people live the good life by giving gifts that help them consume less, preserve natural resources and save money, too. Reuseit.com helps solve a common problem for conscious consumers who want to give a gift but don’t know what makes sense. The company’s products are beautifully designed and solution-oriented, helping the recipient eliminate thousands of disposables from their life.
Recognized in 2009 and 2010 as one of Inc. 500's fastest-growing companies, reuseit.com is a one-stop-shop to help consumers give the good life with its innovative gift ideas. What’s more, the products come from good companies that are socially responsible, and reuseit.com donates one percent of sales to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment. The company has empowered its nearly 240,000 customers to eliminate more than 900,000,000 use-and-toss items.
“This holiday season, we anticipate another onslaught of eco-tschotskes and gimmicky green products from a huge range of retailers,” said Vincent Cobb, founder of reuseit.com. “Our gift ideas reinforce the fact that we’re not going to consume our way out of this problem. The holidays are a chance to share the good life with friends and family, and reusables are gifts that keep giving throughout the year. Giving gifts that actually help people consume less is a smart, interesting idea whose time has come."
To help consumers select the right reusable for anyone on their gift list, the company has created a comprehensive Gift Center to make the process easy, with buying guides, videos, and hand-picked gift ideas for him, for her, for kids and niches like travelers, co-workers, newbie environmentalists and more.
