Tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day
November 27, 2008 by Jennifer
Tomorrow is Black Friday and Buy Nothing Day. I already know what I’m planning on doing. Have you decided? If you’re leaning toward Buy Nothing Day, but still need a little help deciding what you can do, here are some activities you can try tomorrow…
- Find a BND event.
- Do the obvious – hang with the family, have a cookie baking day, play games, go for a walk, plant a tree, play dress-up, sing, make some crafts, it’s a great day to find a family activity.
- Go to a store, but not to shop, instead stick one of these up quietly.
- Get started on a Buy Nothing Christmas. As BND advocates note, if a Buy Nothing Christmas is too extreme, try selling your family on, “A Buy Less Christmas. Or a $100 Christmas. Or a Regifting Christmas. Or a Green Christmas. Or a Slow-Down Christmas.”
- Join the New Dream Community (all you need is an email). Once you join you’ll gain access to FREE booklets on the following topics:
- Tips for Parenting in a Commercial Culture
- Good Times Made Simple: The Lost Art of Fun
- Simplify the Holidays
- Back to School Buying and Action Guide
- Alternative Gift Fair Guide
