You do have quite the list of great ideas here, but, I wanted to drop you a note and share with you some more fabulous gift ideas – Fair Trade Certified! They’re lovely health, body, edible and sporty products that help the communities who produce them, and bring light to the people who receive them. For a complete list see – http://transfairusa.org/blog/?p=1728! I hope this finds you well!

I love tree planting programs like Trees for Change. I blogged about alternatives to the usual holiday cards, suggesting some other tree planting programs such as One Tree Per Card and those offered by the Arbor Day Foundation and National Wildlife Federation. In addition, one can send some beautifully designed plantable seeded paper cards that recipients can plant to grow wildflowers after the holidays.

PERFECT!!! I make a good deal of my gifts, for that extra specialness.. But these are fabulous ideas, too. Show everyone who thinks I’m odd for pulling recyclables out of their trash every time I visit! “See, it really CAN be reused!”

Related to your #1, another great way to find a really strong nonprofit is through Philanthropedia. We help donors donate to some of the strongest nonprofits in different social causes like Climate Change. We also have gift cards that you can give. The giver gets the tax deduction and the recipient gets to decide which charities to give the money to. More on the gift card here: http://www.myphilanthropedia.org/gift_card

I bought my first fwt grocery tote about a year ago. I use it for everything. I don’t even carry a purse anymore. I use the different size small zip bags in my tote for things like my camera, phone and ipod in one, make-up in another and misc. items such as change and receipts in another. When I go shopping I refuse the bags retailers use and put my purchase straight into my fwt tote. It’s surprising how much it holds and I feel good every time I refuse a plastic bag. The other good thing is that you can empty it out, wipe it out, spray it with disinfectant if you are worried about germs when using it for groceries. It’s a winner! I can’t think of a better or more practical, one of a kind, be good to the earth gift.
