So, THAT time of year has arrived: the cold advances; the days are more and more fleeting; the houses light up in celebration; it's late December, and you haven't purchased a gift that is one yet.

Time is running out, the pressure rises. So you end up giving away the usual Christmas pyjamas, humorous cups that don't make anyone laugh or impersonal gift certificates.

But what if, this year, you take Christmas as an opportunity to spread your green spirit. The same one that prompted you to leave your car in the garage to travel with your very ecological e-scooter?

Here are some tips to make your loved one's Christmas green, without turning yourself into the Grinch:

100% eco-friendly speaker for the smartphone: ok, this is a brilliant idea. Take thousands of hectares of woodland destroyed by a powerful storm; take wood that was in danger of being unusable, and a project to revive the territories hit by the tragedy. The result is a super cool and 100% eco-friendly speaker for smartphones that gives the music a deep groove and contributes to the reforestation of the places most affected by Vaia storm. And you can use it anywhere, even in the middle of the woods.

A pencil to plant: to make a tree you need… a pencil. Once its creative life is over, this pencil takes on new shapes and, like a phoenix, reborn from its remains. You take a pot, plant it (literally) in the soil and, with some time, it will turn into a green seedling. It's a perfect gift for the environmentally conscious colleague or for a friend with a green thumb.

Paper stone diary: for your aspiring-writer friend, but also for the one who takes note of everything that happens to him, this notebook is the ultimate gift: made with stone paper (yes, you read that right), it doesn't break, it doesn't get creased and, in contact with water, it does not get damaged.

Above all, this diary is eco-friendly: to make it you need 0 litres of water, 0 trees, 0 chemical solvents. Thus, what appears to be a very common white sheet is actually a very resistant and waterproof secrets keeper.
 
The smartphone cover created with plastic recovered from the oceans: for the hi-tech brother or the naturalist uncle, this smartphone case made with plastic recovered from the oceans is the perfect gift. Resistant, practical and stylish, it helps make our seas a little cleaner and more liveable for fish, molluscs, moray eels, corals and jellyfish. Who said that recycled gifts are the worst?

An e-scooter that turns your journey around: for your partner who always uses the car in the city, but for whom the traffic has become really unbearable, an NGS3 e-scooter is the perfect travel companion: it goes anywhere in a flash, makes the air always cleaner. It saves a lot - and what you save can be used for the really important things… maybe a trip for you two?
