At La Récup', we advocate recycling, re-use and eco-responsible consumption. If you think this is sometimes a challenge when it comes to oneself or everyday consumption, it can be even more difficult when you have to find a present for a special occasion: a birthday, a diploma, a housewarming, Christmas…


You must have already read that recycled gifts wrapped in newspaper are even trendy. It's true! At www.larecupvs.ch, you can find lots of items waiting for a second home that would be suitable for giving: mugs, cuddly toys, books, toys, plants, decorations…


Fairly produced consumer products or a donation to an association on behalf of the recipient of your gift are also ideas.


In the end, what is important is to please the recipient, but also, subconsciously, to feel good knowing that we have pleased someone. For this, there is no need to spend a fortune or buy something new! A simple gesture of kindness has an extraordinary beneficial effect, not only on others but also on ourselves! 


Indeed, when we are kind, our brain rewards us, because our kindness is reflected in the way we feel, which is good!


As with our fight for the climate, when it comes to giving, the same motto applies: every little bit helps!


If you have any questions, we are at your disposal.


Bon(s) don(s) à tous!
