Green Gifts for Everyone!

Out of the sea of poosible gift ideas for the holidays, Eversopopular.com decided to go GREEN!
We asked EcoMom founder Kimberly Danek Pinkson to give up her picks for a Green Holiday.

ECOMOM'S TOP HOLIDAY PICKS FOR AN ECO FRIENDLY SEASON:

Get creative with gifts that help the planet such as programs through http://www.heifer.org/
Adopt a Baby Elephant.

So cute you can't say no.


Otherwise go for these green goodies:

Shades Bud Vase by Green Glass: From the waste stream to classically redesigned glass products this bud vase looks great with candles as well as flowers - and if you’re like my family, the colors make it work for both Christmas and Hannukah. http://www.greenglass.com/



Organic Fireside Throw by Gaiam: One can never have too many warm, cozy, luxury items and if you’re single like me, this is awfully nice to cuddle up with. http://www.gaiam.com/




Katy Coat by Viridis Luxe: Long piece sweater coat made with eco friendly hemp.
Gorgeous sexy dresses too – hemp has never looked so good.

Holiday Kit by Method: A delicious HollyBerry line including a treat for every room of the house with candles, incense sticks and soap.

Organic Sheets Sets by Target: Cotton is one of the most pesticide intensive crops grown so let’s give Target a big hand for helping improve farm workers’ health and shift the green economy in India where these are made.
