Green Gift Ideas

Gift buying can have even the most creative among us tearing out our hair, and you may think you’re out of ideas. Lucky for you, we’ve compiled the best green gift guides around and the options are endless!

Treehugger.com has a section dedicated to eco-friendly presents for kids.

Ecomall has a helpful index of online retailers of non-toxic toys for tots.

Environmental Defense has suggestions for “intangible presents that deliver green good long after the holidays (and won’t end up in a clutter in your closet)” such as buying carbon offsets or a national parks pass.

Also worth checking out:
