2017 Colour of the Year: Greenery Gift Ideas

A couple of days ago, Pantone announced the 2017 Colour of the Year: Greenery. If you’re a design and colour nerd like me, you anxiously await this announcement each December, and you enjoy seeing how designers and brands embrace the chosen colour over the course of the upcoming year. To help you stay ahead of the curve, I scoured the internet for a variety of gifts in Greenery for you to purchase for your colour-loving friends and family [or yourself!] this holiday season.

Pantone Greenery Gift Ideas

The Greenery Goodies:

  1. For the fashionista on your list, these Keep Me in the Hoop Earrings feature faceted cuboids hanging from large but delicate gold hoops.

  2. With 2 layers and a stainless steel knife and fork, this leakproof bento box is perfect for packing lunches for both teens and adults.

  3. French ovens are a staple in any chef’s kitchen, and this 5-quart oval Le Creuset French oven is excellent for home cooking. For larger and smaller sizes, click here.

  4. We elves LOVE washi tape; we use it when crafting, decorating, wrapping gifts, and more. If you’re washi addicted as well, then you’ll like this green Scotch® Expressions Glitter Tape. Washi tape also makes a great stocking stuffer!

  5. Stay warm, cozy, and ahead of the trend with this green knitted scarf from Etsy seller Sesen Arts. If you decide to purchase this scarf, make sure to take advantage of Etsy’s special holiday promotion, which ends tomorrow.

  6. Keep holiday stress at bay with this aroma diffuser. Use with your favourite essential oil, such as lavender, and feel more relaxed as the scented mist fills the room.

  7. Whether you it fill with juice, holiday punch, or eggnog, this Granada Juice Glass would make a beautiful addition to your kitchen.

  8. With Go Go Green Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer, you could paint all of your nails or have a Greenery-inspired accent nail. To pick your nail art colour palette and get ideas for other colours that work well with Greenery, visit Pantone’s website.

  9. Oh me, oh my, I love super chunky knit blankets, and this green Merino wool one is a beauty. This blanket is from Etsy seller Merrisson, so don’t forget about Etsy’s special holiday promotion that ends on 12 December [tomorrow!].
