Shopping & Gift Giving
Shop goodwill first.
Find that unique gift,
the delicate tea cup in a design your Aunt Marge fancies,
a Ronald McDonald doll from your brother’s childhood and more.
Check out your local farmer’s market for unusual & eco-friendly locally made gifts.
Take your own cloth bag shopping.
Give organic lotions, bath items, clothing,
coffee & more to make it a green Christmas
Give hand made items.
If you make the best organic spaghetti sauce in the entire western hemisphere,
give a jar. Put a recycled card tag on it, wrap it in a cloth bag and voila!
Use cloth gift bags, the Sunday funnies, old sheet music,
pillowcases, scarves, dishcloths or magazines for interesting & earth friendly wrappings.
Use popcorn instead of Styrofoam peanuts--then suggest the recipient feed the birds with the packaging material.
Fruit cake out---organic fruit basket in
Give Cousin Bobbie a membership to a conservation organization.
Give a gift to your children & your children's children. Plant a tree.
Give your child a birding kit rather than video game this year.
