I know that we haven’t even reached Thanksgiving yet, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about finding holiday gifts, it’s that it’s best done early (especially when shopping online). Hence, the Green Your Decor Green Gift Guide is live!
This year, in addition to all the fabulous gifts you can buy from green companies and artisans for everyone on your list, I also added another category: Gifts you can Make Yourself.
I love the idea of a wreath, but I’ve never really been a fan of the way they look. Maybe that’s because most of the wreaths I usually see on people’s doors are made from plastic, fake pine needles lit up by too many lights or covered in fake snow and cheesy holiday characters. If you agree with me, here are some more unconventional, but still stylish and eco-friendly options for your door:
Overall, I have to say this has been a pretty great year for Green Your Decor, as well as for me and my family. So I just wanted to take time out this holiday season to wish all my wonderful, loyal readers a Merry Green Christmas. More than any material thing you can give or receive, the most important part of the season is sharing love with everyone around you. So here’s a little bit of mine 
And remember, recycle all that wrapping paper and packaging, eat and drink with reusable plates and cups, and unplug the lights before you go to bed I couldn’t resist leaving you a few green holiday tips!
One of my favorite parts of the holidays is getting to put up a Christmas tree. This year has been particularly special because not only do we have a real tree: We got to select it and cut it down ourselves from a local tree farm. I wanted to see what everyone else was doing for their tree decor, particularly for those people who opted for a real tree or a tree alternative. Here are some of my favorite submissions and found photos:
Last winter, I went all out and published my Dreaming of a Green Christmas series, which was extremely detailed and well-received. Instead of rehashing all that information, I just want to point you in the direction of those archived posts and the very helpful comments that they received, since the information presented in them is still relevant and accurate. I love all the information that was added by the readers that I didn’t think of when I was writing the series. I also have some new resources that I’ll present here to help you in greening your holiday season.

I’m Jennae Petersen, and I’m a lot of things. A mother, a graphic artist, a connosieur of beautiful interiors and a purveyor of all things design. Green Your Decor was borne of frustration in my attempts to find eco-friendly housewares that were also beautiful, and inspiration to do something to reduce my own carbon footprint and help others do the same in a beautiful way.
I get this question a lot, so I wanted to make the answer easy to find. Yes, I am a graphic designer, and I designed this site myself. The theme I’m using is called Thesis, and I think it’s the best WordPress theme out there. Your site can look pretty much any way you want it to. Want to know more?
