Primavera AromaStream Electric Diffuser

First to recommend

Description

For the most part, I have this cool little device running all day long when I'm in the office (sits right on my desk). It's about 8 inches tall and disperses essential oils without the use of heat, but rather by fan and with the right essential oil sprinkled on the cartridge, it will make your whole room smell delicious. You'll feel a cool & quiet breeze when it's on. Received this as a birthday gift and I love it. I diffuse some of my favorite Oshadi and Primavera (organic) essential oils in it and I'll be sad when it stops working (but I'll just go buy another...cause that's how much I adore this little guy!).

"Pit Putty" Organic Deodorant

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is HANDS DOWN the BEST natural/organic deodorant ever!!! And I've searched high and low for one. It's so very difficult to find something that's both totally natural & totally effective (and one that you don't have to re-apply 2-3 times a day). You're not going to find any cancer-causing aluminum or polluted propylene glycol in this. Three people have been using this in my family for the past 2 weeks and its worked for all of us (guys & girls). Don't believe me? Try it for yourself...they have a "Deodorant Guarantee" that they'll stand behind if it doesn't work for you. :)

Adirondack Chairs made from recycled milk jugs & plastic bottles

First to recommend

Description

Oh, the dilemma…do you go for the cheap white or green plastic outdoor furniture that seems like easy maintenance but will get tossed around in high winds, likely crack and get “chalky” in the sun? Do you opt for the real wood version that requires more maintenance and may splinter and fade? Or should you get the metal set that will probably rust in a year or two?

What if you had another option that was virtually maintenance free, built to last and was sustainable? Well now you do! Poly-Wood is made from recycled milk jugs, bottles and containers. The heavy duty HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) plastic is formed to look and feel like real wood and then cut into slats that are used to build their chairs & tables assembled with rust-proof stainless steel screws. (This same material is also used to build weather-resistent decks & benches as well). The lightest chair weighs in at approximately 40 pounds, so you don’t have to worry about these blowing around in the wind. They come in a variety of six bright summery colors and guaranteed not to fade. With very minimal maintenance (wipe down with soap & water occasionally), these are built to last and resist outdoor elements. Leave them in the yard, on a porch or even on the beach and they won’t fade, warp or lose their color.

RuMe MINI Reusable Bags: Spring in NY

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Made in a fair trade factory, and smaller than your average reusable bag, these miniature versions of RuMe standard reusable bags are great for toting things, bringing your lunch to work, bringing wine to a dinner party, packing workout shoes & clothes in to tote to the gym and so much more. They fold up to the size of a business card so they're really easy to keep in the glove box in the car or throw inside another bag (i.e. suitcase or purse). They come in 3 patterned versions. Buy 1 or buy all 3! (via Delight Store)

Iced Tea Sampler - Zhena's Organic & Fair Trade Gypsy Tea

First to recommend

Description

Forego the Lipton & put down the powdered versions....this Certified Fair Trade, USDA certified organic & Kosher tea set will have your guests asking you...."what kind of tea is this?" (Mine do!). Inside each shimmery biodegradable flow-through corn silk tea bag you'll find perfect flavors for summer....Mango Ginger White, Strawberry Osmanthus, Pineapple Green & Blueberry Acai. They all come in very cute stackable tins that are 100% recyclable (would be cool to store misc or small office items too). This would make a great small hostess gift (or a nice addition to a gift basket)! Drink up & enjoy :)
