About this list:
This year I'm attempting to be more environmentally conscientious about what I give and how I'll do it. These are items I feel would make great gifts that promote and encourage "green values" into our lives. Eco-friendly isn't just a fad, it's life. What could be more meaningful than gifting your family and friends with positive messages and wonderful products? Organic, recycled materials, and everything beyond - Here are my suggestions for "Gifting Green" for every-day life and the holidays.

I'm a mum that hates waste!

First to recommend
Description
Organic, natural, and ethical... Not quite what you'd expect from a tote this fantastic, right? This simple bag has hidden storage pockets, holds up to 20kg, and its design can be used for virtually any occasion. Take it to work, the grocery store, or to school. It's not just a reusable bag, it's a lifestyle-tote!

Matlåda/sittunderlag i form av bengalisk tiger BENNY, gul
First to recommend
Description
I am a bento collector/hoarder but this adorable bengal tiger lunch bag and tray is something I'd have at my desk or pack for my kids. It's practical, light, and insulated if you're looking for those qualities, but really... who doesn't want to eat lunch with this guy? It's designed by the award-winning children's book illustrator, Stephen Savage and it's also lead-Free and PVC-free!

Shaklee Get Green Start Kit
First to recommend
Description
If you're not sure where to start when adding more green and environmentally conscientious products for your home consider this kit! when I visited my mum at Christmas all I could think about was raiding her closet and replacing all her outdated and harmful products with something just like this! This huge start kit isn't just about "going natural", it also eliminates 108 pounds of packaging waste as well as 248 pounds of greenhouse gas! It also includes just about every product you'd need for your home from the kitchen to laundry. It's well worth investing in these trusted products for your own home but I also believe it would make a great gift for those that are already making eco-friendly choices and those that need a push in the right direction. Think housewarming gifts or even Mother's Day! And if the recipient is doubtful just reassure them that Oprah swears by this stuff!

Eco-Me All Natural Pet Grooming Kits
5 people recommended this item
Description
Let's not forget about our littles ones with fur! Trying to opt for green pet products can be limited but this fantastic grooming kit from Delight gives no room for excuses. You can choose from the cat or dog grooming kit and pamper your little fur ball naturally. This kit even includes recipe(s) for making treats as well as handy items to keep your pet healthy and clean! I think we tend to overlook our pets when it comes to eco-friendly products so this just might be a solution for a good start. If you'd never use harsh chemicals for your hair and skin why use them for your pets?

Sylvania 29490 23-Watt CFL Mini Twist, Soft White, 6-Pack: Home Improvement
First to recommend
3 people recommended this item
Description
Yeah, right... Who the heck gives lightbulbs as a gift? We do! Our friends just moved into a new place and as a housewarming gift we gave them a set of lamps and an ceiling lamp so of course we included the bulbs! We didn't purchase these since we're in another country, but if available I would have opted for this set. These EnergyStar qualified bulbs from Sylvania provide fantastic soft white light, save on energy consumption, and provide more natural light than most other light bulbs. Again, I know... lightbulbs as a gift? Yes! you might not consider it a "bright idea" but they're always welcomed and definitely overlooked.

Love This Planet Shopping Bag
First to recommend
Description
Yeah yeah, just another eco-friendly shopping bag right? WRONG! Not only can these amazingly huge shopping bags hold your entire grocery car, but for every bag purchase money is donated to The Green Ambassadors which provides high school students with experiences that foster personal growth, community service, cross–culture and global exchange and leadership skills to tackle the most critical environmental issues facing our planet. It's made from 100% recycled materials, completely durable, and so easy to keep clean. Unlike many reusable bags (which are just as eco-friendly) the design of this bag is a great positive message to love this planet. It's nothing tacky or sarcastic, just positive love for this world. What else could you want? If not buying this for yourself gift your friends with this wonderful bag.

SIGG HELLO KITTY RED 0.6L (20 OZ)
First to recommend
Description
This is one of the smaller sized Sigg bottles for kids but who cares - it's Hello Kitty! Just because it's Valentine's Day doesn't mean you can't still give something eco-friendly, useful, and cute wrapped all in one! I think this would be a great gift to give to anyone at any age.

SIGG On-The-Go - 1103
First to recommend
Description
One thing that drives me absolutely nuts is the amount of waste my husband creates when he takes his breakfast/lunch to work. This year he's getting this Sigg "On The Go" pack which includes an Urban bag in khaki, a sigg bottle, and a metallic blue box for his sandwiches. He'll have no excuses now and I doubt he'll feel embarrassed about having to carry this around!

Envirosax Botanica Bag

Description
I adore the new Botanica bags from Envirosax's Graphic line. The greens, aquas, and turquoises work wonderfully to enhance the inspirations taken from lush rainforests. This bag can be purchased as a single or in the Botanica pouch set of 5.
