"As the end-of-year holidays approach, it’s a good time to reflect on the
things that really matter: Enjoying lots of quality time with the people we
love, eating enormous amounts of delicious food, and spending gobs of money on
all kinds of ridiculous gadgets we and our loved ones don’t need.
Kidding, sort of. It’s nearly impossible to escape consumerism at this time of
year. And while the greenest phone is the one already in your pocket and we’re
always in favor of buying less stuff, it’s not always possible to opt out of
giving gifts.
But there’s a less damaging strategy for buying stuff. By giving stuff that’s
repairable, you make sure that your gift won’t get shoved in the Drawer of
Broken Things before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve. Plus, it’s an
opportunity to invite your friends and family to think about repair—one of the
most important stepping stones on our path away from disposable culture.
Here are a few repairability questions to ask yourself when you’re buying gifts
this holiday season."
