My Favorite Holiday Gift Ideas

I know I haven’t updated you all in a while - forgive me - this time of year is so busy for me that I’m afraid I’ve been a bit neglectful. So, I thought I would post about some of my favorite gift ideas this year - especially for those family members and friends that have everything (or are just really hard to buy for). Here’s my list:

• PRODUCT (RED) - still my favorite gift idea. In case you don’t know, when you buy (RED) things a portion of those funds goes to people in Africa dying of AIDS. They have some very cool products at The Gap that even I love.
• OXFAM AMERICA UNWRAPPED - this one is something I found earlier this year. It’s a pretty cool concept - you can read all about it my previous post here.
• GREEN DIMES - For as little as $15 you can put your friend or family member on a much greener path. It’s all about stopping that junk mail you know you hate getting. Stop junk mail and save trees - awesome.
• DONATE TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY - If you have any animal lovers on your gift list, this is a great gift idea. By donating to the ASPCA you are stopping animal cruelty and making a difference in the lives of animals that have been abused, abandoned, and neglected.
• WWF GIFT CENTER - I love the World Wildlife Fund because of the amazing things they do for the environment and endangered species. They have over 200 ways to support their conservation efforts with a variety of gift ideas (ones even kids will love) such as adopting an animal or supporting sustainable sources of income for indigenous people.
• APPLE TREE TO BE - This is a very memorable gift and one that truly keeps on giving. The kit contains everything you need to start your very own orchard of Ralls Janet apples. It’s perfect gift for that gardener you know.
• NATIVE ENERGY CARDS - When you can’t think of just the right gift, what do you do - send a card! Now you can send a card that is so much more… they fight global warming! Sending one of these cards (instead of those boring cards you got a Longs) will help do things like build new wind turbines or a renewable methane generator on a family farm.

   Easily the best Holiday Gift Ideas ever! I’m sure that I’m from GreenDimes has nothing to do with it. :^)

   Seriously cool write-up, I’ve written about the WWF, Kiva’s also great.

   Thanks Sanjiv! Green Dimes definitely added to the value of my favorites list in a big way since only the best of the best made the cut
