consumable goods gift certificate alternatives
Everyone loves receiving foods and beverages in their goodie bags, but these products can be difficult to transport due to their fragility and perishable characteristics. Therefore, the best alternative, and perhaps even more sustainable, is gifting a gift card or voucher for these consumable goods. These gift cards can be for any sort of subscription program or simply just to get a coffee or smoothie at the local coffee bar.
HelloFresh is a subscription service that allows its user to choose from a variety of recipes on their website for which the ingredients are then delivered to their homes. Offering a gift card for this service, for 1-month free, for example, is a great way to promote healthy eating while gifting consumable goods that result in little waste. The recipient of the voucher will learn how to cook something new and be able to take part in a more experience-type goodie bag item -- often being more valued than tangible items. The gift cards can be purchased individually or in bulk which really caters to these types of goodie bags and companies being able to buy a large amount all at once.

Gifting a gift card to a local food or coffee bar is a great alternative to adding tangible foods and drinks in the goodie bags. The consumers will be able to choose themselves what they wish to spend the gift card on while supporting a local business. These gift cards will vary from where your organization is located as you want to choose local places that are easily reached. When choosing these locations, it is interesting to look into what kind of products they offer and where they are sourced from. Often local coffee shops either make their own coffee or use sustainably sourced coffee beans from sustainable companies, for example. Supporting these small businesses in general adds onto the sustainability factor of your improved goodie bag, but having these businesses also use very natural and sustainable products is just an added bonus!
