'tis the season to be green!

If you’ve stepped foot inside your local Target or Walgreens lately, you know very well that Holiday shopping is already in full-effect! Although with this helpful list of gift ideas for your favorite fellow tree-huggers there is no need to stress over what to buy your favorite people this year! The gift of giving can finally be fun again! There is a little something on here for absolutely everybody from young to old and picky to easy-to-please. These presents are bound to satisfy your loved ones, the environment and even your wallet.

For those classy folks out there who enjoy the nightly glass of vino, why not indulge in a membership to the Organic Wine Club? It’s the perfect gift for any Green-enthusiast who is 21 and over. All wines are formulated from 100% organically grown grapes and are absolutely pesticide-free, which will steer clear of those who happen to get irritated by those awful harsh chemicals. For just $50/month your loved one can have three bottles of delicious wine delivered right to their door each month!

What about our little “Greenies-in-Training”? No worries, we have something extra special this season for those little guys! This year forget about those over-priced, impossible to put together Barbie dream houses and focus on a gift that is a little more practical, but just as fun! Our friends over at Smart Gear have created an impeccable eco-friendly dollhouse that is sure to have your child’s friends green with envy! The wonder-world house is constructed entirely from sustainable rubber wood and colored with water-based paints. For just $160 your little ones can enjoy the perks of a doll house that is equipped with educational environmentally-friendly finishing touches such as recycling bins, a solar panel, wind mill, rain barrel, and three wooden dolls who can take turns riding around on their state of the art bicycle. Enjoy livin’ the green life kiddos!

How about something for those pop-culture fanatics? Well, honestly... who doesn’t love a little Jack Johnson. In case you missed out on Jack’s epic 2008 tour it’s not too late to enjoy something extra-special for his true fans out there who want a little more than the average over played radio songs! Johnson may be one of the biggest Green Guys on the planet and thanks to his heart of gold (or green?) he has decided to offer a special “En Concert” Collectors Addition gift package that doesn’t require any kind of backstage pass to access. This set includes his concert CD, DVD, vinyl album, poster, a t-shirt, not to mention 19 downloadable tracks for only $75. This is one of those gifts that truly says a thousand words. Whoever is the lucky recipient of this lovely gem will be thanking you all season.

Ahhh and then there’s those lovely fashionistas who always make it impossible to shop for! How do you buy something for someone whose taste is consistently based off of what the current trends of that very moment are? This year how about choose something that is impossibly stylish, yet also beneficial for the environment?  Thanks to the dynamic design duo Alex and Ahi that is oh so very possible! This year it’s time to skip those trends that come equipped with a six-month lifespan and instead buy your loved one a current-celebrity must-have, which of course are none other than Alex and Ahi’s gorgeous bangles! These incredibly boho chic bracelets are designed entirely from recycled materials and are the perfect accessory to dress up any holiday party look. They range from $68-$348. Each bangle is even expandable for the perfect fit! Now honestly.. what’s better than that?

We saved the best for last...for all those animal-lovers out there why not make someone’s holiday by giving the gift of man’s best friend? You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars and buy a sparkling brand new, tough-to-train puppy at one of those glitzy pet stores at the mall; rather, save a life and adopt a pet! Whether you choose to visit North Shore Animal League and support the country’s largest ‘no kill shelter’ or want to just swing on by your local Humane Society and cover the cost of adoption ($75-$225) for dogs or cats. You will be saving a life and making someone very happy this holiday!
