The Cardboard Tree – These things are awesome! Why hasn’t someone come up with this before??
Fish Lips Paper Designs – I like the recycled holiday wrapping paper, the Chilly Dogs is my favorite, too cute!
the hunger site – I had no idea you could purchase fair trade items from the hunger site. I will definitely be checking this out for more of my gift giving.
Method – I like that bottles are made from old bottles, and they are non-toxic cleaners instead of toxic chemicals. I have an infant and pets in the home and having non-toxic cleaners is key to a safer environment.
Tiny Decor – I love the Custom Personalized Couch Blankee. As a close family we love hanging out on the couch and watching television all wrapped up in cozy blankets.
Wal-Mart – The Elevenmom sites are wonderful. I am so glad that they have connected me to such a wonderful group of well educated moms just like me.
Amanda Ps last blog post..Thank you…
From Adams Media bookstore, I am curious to read the Book “365 Ways To live Green” by Diane Gow McDilda… to know which plants are best to nourish my yard (I am a gardener)…
From Amenity home, the alpaca camel throw that traps body heat is perfect to wrap up in while I sit in my cozy recliner as the wicked wind blows off the Lake ( I like to sit with my dog and some tea)…
From A.R.E. Naturals,the handmade La Chamba pot/soup Tureen, to cook and serve in, is so stylish and wonderful in the earthtones decor of my dining room(I like to cook and serve and eat)…
Thanks for the ingenuity of your giveaway!
From The Cardboard Christmas Tree, the recycled cardboard tree is a perfect item for each classroom at the elem. school to decorate, using a theme that they choose…very inspiring, and then they could donate it to a person or place to give hope and joy! Easy to transport and display…great idea, great size.
From Fish Lips Paper Design, the Chilly Dogs with antlers recycled gift wrap paper is great for our pet loving friends, and for the Humane Society volunteers’ gifts (from Santa of course).
From The Hunger Site, The Chocolate Himalayan Tote is ideal for me to wear and “tote” with respect and pride, always willing and able to share the details of the Hunger Site as I get compliments on the purse.
This giveaway is so very relevant!
From Fish Lips Paper Design I like…Dots-In-A-Row wrapping paper
From Tiny Decor I like…Avalisa Wonder Wool Rug
From Walmart I like…Everlast Arm Sculpting System
Please enter me!
From Method, The aroma soy candle, citrus , is my wish,..did you know that oranges,/citrus was a gift for kings? Always a joy!
From Tiny Decor, The playful animal-line wall-art is very imaginative, inspiring to a little mind, what could be better?!!
From Mama Goes Green, the eco-friendly recycled silver “charmed “necklace via the dictionary is a super choice, for any teacher as myself, I’d love it !
Thank you for introducing me to many worthwhile sites!
1. Method Citrus soy candle.
2. A.R.E. Naturals Tea for one tea pot.
3. Amenity Home Cream + Lavender Organic
Bloom Duvet Cover
Walmart- Lincoln Park Chair -Dark Brown Twill
Method- Aroma Pill plug in diffuser in Vanilla Apple
Mama Goes Green- Envirosax Reusable grocery bags, the set of 5*Mikado set. skyxsky27(at)gmail.com
I love the set of three RuMe reusable shopping bags in the Fall in New York patterns from Mama Goes Green, they are so stylish
The Yachana Jungle Chocolate from the Hunger Site looks really good. The prints at Amenity Home are all adorable, but I like the Hiding Bunny one best. The Yule Tree-to-be gift is a great idea at A.R.E. Naturals.
I love Tiny Decor! I read their blog daily and love all their wonderful products. Such great inspiration there!
Walmart is getting much better about having green products. There is a much bigger selection of green cleaning products, more “all natural” and organic food items. Finally! Hurray for Walmart. They do have great prices, after all.
Green Christmas from Adams Media looks like a wonderful read! I would love to find ways to greener my Christmas – alternative wrapping papers and the like, foods, conserving energy, etc.
I had no intention of actually purchasing anything, but I did end up “buying” a Darfur stove at The Hunger Site. My son put “world peace” on his Xmas list, probably as a bit of a lark. So I did this in his name as his small contribution to that, and for a place that really needs a whole lot more peace.
On a slightly less serious note, Method has some really nice handsoaps in beautiful bottles (esp the green cucumber). And the notecards at Fishlips are eyecatching. Esp liked the swallow one.
