If you're going to buy gifts for the holidays (or birthdays, or baby showers, or other special events) may we suggest some ideas we've seen that are not only unique, but also lend a nod towards sustainability, green design and fair trade? Here are some we'd like to share:
1. For the men in your life, these these wallets by Jetsam recycle old neckties into hip, desirable billfolds.
2. Need a fair trade way to carry your iPad or tablet? Get a handmade carrying case from Five Accessories.
3. For stylish and safe dining, the variety of placemats and coasters from Modern Twist will provide the dining table with well-designed options for kids and adults alike.
4. FSC-certified skateboards from Comet are sure to get noticed shredding down the roadways.
5. Because what we put on our skin matters, try some beautiful organic soaps from A Wild Soap Bar.
6. If spectacular jewelry is what you need, or you simply want to learn more about the ethical mining of gemstones, visit Brilliant Earth.
7. Nau has a terrific collection of stylish and sustainably-made jackets and vests for winter (and lots of other clothes too).
8. Keep the kids busy planting and gardening this winter with an indoor gardening kit courtesy of Green Toys.
9. If you can bear a shameless plug, please consider a Squishy Press book for babies and toddlers. Designed by Rogue Element, they are sustainably made in the USA using nontoxic inks, papers and glues.
10. Keep your family's food safe and waste-free with an ECOlunchbox. Add the coupon code "hmr" at checkout to get 10% off too.
We wish you a wonderful holiday season!
