Garden-opoly
First to recommend
Description
A super fun twist on the Monopoly standard. "Players buy garden favorites, collect clay pots and trade them in for greenhouses. Sounds easy enough...until you add aphid infestation, the water bill and a dandelion outbreak. Players also learn as they play; each deed back contains interesting facts such as the appropriate climate, soil and watering for each plant, as well as facts about origin, popularity and varieties." Why not? Great for families interested in gardening!

Kiwi Fuel Saving Device
2 people recommended this item
Description
This gadget is so fun, and a great holiday gift for anyone. It plugs into any car's (made after 1996) diagnostic reader (near the steering wheel) and calculates the miles per gallon your currently getting. Then, it turns increasing your MPG by doing things like accelerating slower and driving at a steady speed into a game, so it's both fun, economical, and eco-friendly. You can actually watch your mpg rating go up! Over time, it tracks how much gas and money you've saved during the game and your past records. Being green has never been more fun!

Concrobium Mold Control
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
Mold not only looks gross, but it can be dangerous to your health. concrobium created the first ever mold-killer that kills mold without any harsh ingredients. No VOCS, ammonia, or bleach - so it's safe to use anywhere in your home and it's completely non-toxic. And, it really works! Mold is encapsulated when sprayed, and as it dries, its spores are crushed and smothered. It's a fantastic replacement for that other mold spray that makes you a little lightheaded when you use it in enclosed places - that's dangerous for you and the environment!

It itoasts 20% faster and uses half the energy of a standard 900W toaster by having close-proximity low-temperature heating elements. If only one slice of bread it inserted then only one side of the toaster is turned on. It is also designed to be repaired if broken and disassembled at the end of its useful life. The window allows you to monitor the brownness of your toast and the Toast Drop system slides your toast straight onto a plate, ready to be eaten. It also features intuitive browning controls and turns on automatically when the front is closed.

Eco-Friendly Alabaster Blackout Shades
First to recommend
Description
Everybody loves blackout shades because they allow you to sleep in until noon. But I've never thought about how having blackout shades actually saves you money on your energy bills. By blocking 99% of light from coming into your house, less air conditioning is needed during summer! These have a 3-pass thermal coating for extra heat resistance, keeping your house cool and you asleep. How lovely.
