Blue Water’s Gift Guide
It’s the holiday season, meaning many folks are hunting down gifts for their loved ones! Here at Blue Water Baltimore, we encourage everyone to be thoughtful when picking out presents; this means shopping locally, minimizing packaging and wrapping waste and choosing gifts that last. We’ve gathered a list of a few Blue Water Baltimore favorites that I’m sure your friends and family will adore. And hey, we wouldn’t blame you if you got some for yourself, either!
Blue Water Baltimore swag – celebrate 10 years
Show your BWB pride and help us celebrate this important milestone with a limited-edition shirt or sweatshirt. They make great gifts for the environmentalists in your life (big and small), and profits will support the next 10 years of this vital work.
A gift card to Herring Run Nursery
When your loved one visits Herring Run Nursery in the spring they’ll be able to plan out their garden with the help of our nursery staff, and take home native plants that will house and feed insects and wildlife, all while beautifying their yard. That’s a gift that keeps on giving!
Shop local with Claymonster Pottery
Cat Audette Holt and Rich Holt of Baltimore, MD make one of a kind whimsical monster vessels and stoneware pottery with personality. When you gift a monster, or get one for yourself, you’re not only supporting local artists, you’re also supporting local waterways. A portion of holiday Claymonster sales will go towards Blue Water Baltimore’s mission of clean water and strong communities.
Minimize waste with green crafts
For folks big and small, handmade art is a gift to be cherished. When you make something using found materials, like this nature collage or dryer lint firestarters, you’re minimizing (if not eliminating) waste, and avoiding shopping all together! We think that’s pretty cool.
