‘Tis More Blessed To Give Than To Receive!’ Keeping a consciousness of mindful living when gift giving is not always practiced. So here are a few simple ideas that are sustainable, eco-friendly and non-toxic for everyone on your holiday list.
Whether your list is a mile long or just a few names, either way spending money is inevitable. And finding that perfectly unique gift is something everyone tries hard to do.
Our consumer choices always affect someone or something, and by making sure purchases are ‘mindful’ is one way for green living to be a part of everyday life.
Here are a few of my favorite sustainable, eco-friendly and non-toxic gifts that are sure to please even the ‘pickiest’ person!!!
