Do it yourself instead of buying - gifts

Gifting makes joy, even more so when the gifts are homemade. Whether for birthdays, weddings or other occasions, this volume from the smarticular publishing house contains a wealth of ideas for gifts that you can make yourself: small delicacies from the kitchen, something for relaxation and well-being, something to craft or sew, but also suggestions for packaging. Beyond material gifts, you'll also find ideas for vouchers or "gifts of time," such as for joint ventures. Thus, simple gifts become matters of the heart, which can not be more individual.

Usually, there is a website in addition to a film, book, etc. Here it’s the other way round: The ideas portal smarticular.net was launched first and quickly became a digital reference address for eco-friends and the health-conscious, providing tips, ideas and recipes for sustainable living. Committed people who want to take things into their own hands, do them themselves and try them out to make their lives a little easier and greener visit the page. Now the team behind the portal has turned the online guide into several printed publications. The book series “Selber machen statt kaufen” (Do it yourself instead of buying), for example, reveals to its readers shopping alternatives and approaches to sustainable living. The smarticular team focuses on topics like home remedies, saving plastic, or avoiding waste in the manuals.
