Green Gifts that Won't Leave You in the Red!

Here's two ways to do your (big) bit for the environment this holiday season: Don't use your car to buy gifts. And give the gift that keeps on giving: An eco friendly present from TheFindGreen.com. TheFindGreen.com has all the same things you would conjure up to buy your friends, nieces, nephews, boyfriend, husband, parents: Slippers, wine glasses, candles, sweaters, baby clothes – but they let your nearest/dearest know you – and they – are mutually participating in doing good for our weather and our world. And a couple of clicks and you're set. And surfing TheFindGreen is an adventure all its own: it's amazing what's out there that's eco-friendly and organic, since the green industry is sprouting like – well, like green things do – wildly. Your friends will be both pleased and surprised  - and, optimally, newly educated about what's available to make our lives – and our weather – a little more comfortable for all.

The following is my own personal list, but you can make your own.

BURNING TORCH RECYCLED CASHMERE WRAP IN GREY $370.00
Okay, this is going to your sister or best friend – or perhaps that gift you decide to give yourself! Made from panels of slightly disparate tonal cashmeres, it's a short sleeved wrap top or jacket that slips over dresses, t shirts and jeans, or a turtleneck. It's chic, it's cozy, it's warm and soft – and on top of that, it's actually practical.

JOSIE MARAN COSMETICS
Model Josie Maran has just launched her own eco-friendly "green" cosmetics line – and not only do we all want to look like her, it's lovely to be as earth conscious as the very green Ms. Maran. You could purchase a selection or basket of her concealer ($20), lipstick ($18), eyeliner ($16), and plumping lipgloss ($20) for one friend, or buy a bunch of pieces and pack them in your Christmas stockings.

TIERED MERMAID DRESS
This is one of the best dresses I've ever seen on the internet and it's only $150.00 – it's going to make somebody very happy on Christmas or New Year's Eve. This long dress, ribbed and long sleeved in the body, ruffles into long gypsy tiers of organic cotton, and can be ruched this way and that – and comes in dark army green (how cool is that?) or pale pink. And since it's cotton, you can take it on your European trip this summer – it's very flamenco/Stevie Nicks, but it's still simple.

RECYCLED GLASS COBALT GOBLETS
Great color, great shape, they even have an etched school of swimming fish on their edge. They were produced from reclaimed wine bottles, so their perfect for vino, and are dishwasher and microwave friendly – and only $12.00 for a set of three. A great gift for anybody.

ORGANIC COTTON TIGHTS for babies, toddlers – and adults
Everybody needs warm tights in the winter, For babies and toddlers, NATUREWEAR ORGANICS has some cozy ones for $20.00. For the grownups, MAGGIE'S ORGANIC COTTON TEXTURED TIGHTS are $25.95 and come in patterns and tons of colors.

SILK RUCHED SCARVES
Stretchy and fringed, striped and pale, these organic silk scarves from India work in all seasons and cost only $35.00.




SOLAR BACKPACK
The perfect gift for an adventurous student or the outdoorsman in every guy. The reactor solar backpack has an integrated solar charging system to your blackberry, phone, iphone, or computer in the wilderness. $115.95.

ORGANIC COTTON PAJAMAS – who doesn't need these for a midwinter's night dreaming?
For babies: $23.00 
For men:  $32.00, organic men's pajama pant bottoms
For girls and women:  $5.99 – what a bargain! Striped jersey knit pj's

CANDLES

Soy candle scented like a pear! Pearly Pear candle, $75.00
Lavendar aromatherapy candle in lavendar color, $7.95
Fresh currant and vanilla citrus soy candles, $32.00


AND IF ALL ELSE FAILS:

TheFindGreen has a fantastic selection of beauty products for everyone from BURT'S BEES, that smell amazing (particularly for the price) – the body lotions, lipwax and all their recyclable products are great and available in baskets.

It was nice reading your post. I needed to know such kind of information to update myself. I work in my friend’s boutique of flower girl dresses and also help in the online promotion.
