Last minute sustainable gifts for those on the go

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – the ground is white, the air is crisp and the lights are twinkling. In Fernie we’ve already had a significant amount of snowfall and the Fox has taken full advantage of it, getting up to the ski resort for some chairlift chat and fun on the slopes. 

 

With not long to go until the big day, we’ve done our research to help YOU slay your sustainable Christmas gifts for that special someone in your life that’s always on the go. 

 

  1. Solar-powered portable charger

Give your friends and family the gift of reducing their carbon footprint by encouraging them to (safely!) walk to the coffee shop or post office rather than jumping in a car. Get them a pair of Yaktrax or other traction tools to suit just about any boot and avoid slipping and sliding on icy and snow-covered sidewalks.

 

Find a pair in-store downtown or online at the Guide’s Hut and Gearhub.

 

This one is a no-brainer for the Fernie Fox. After all, sustainability is our jam, and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions has been a big part of working towards becoming BC’s most sustainable hotel. 

 

Did you know we use solar to power our hotel?

 

  1. Reusable sandwich bags

Never run out of freezer or sandwich bags again. It mightn’t be a ‘wow’ present, but for those in your life who love receiving useful gifts, these are right up their street. Plus, reducing their use of single plastics is an added bonus!

 

Find them on Planet E

 

  1. Travel mug

It’s definitely the season to crack out the triple-insulated mug for commuting. Cut the throwaway coffee cups out of the lives of your friends and family and, better yet, do it with style.

 

Find it on Sportchek
