Eco Gift Guides

It seems that every green site out there needs to come up with the ubiquitous eco gift guide. Personally, I recommend the same things every year; a flock of geese from Heifer International, a micro-investment at Kiva, some home made cookies and candies, or a green starter basket with CFL lightbulb, non-toxic cleaning supplies, toilet paper from recycled paper, reusable water bottle, cloth napkins, organic grains and dry goods, you get the idea!

But if you are looking for some giftier options, here are some other green gift guides you might want to check out:
