PURE Bar - Veronica’s Blog

Every year about this time someone asks me the inevitable question:

“So is all your Christmas shopping done?” 

And every year it’s the same answer in my head. 

“Are you kidding me? Have not even started thinking about it.”

And aloud,

“Oh I’m getting there.”

 

So I’ve done myself a favor and spent some time researching what I think are cool and still environmentally friendly gifts for the special people on my list. Hopefully this helps you too.  Here are my 7 fav ideas:

 

1)      www.organicwinecompany.com  The Organic wine company has an amazing selection of organic wines as well as cool varieties of vegan and biodynamic wines.  You can join their wine club and get several months of wine sent to your “giftee”.  P.S. one big bonus of organic wine is far less the headache…trust me.

 

2)      www.preserveproducts.com  Preserve products makes chic tableware products for the home from 100% recycled plastic and 100% recycled paper products.  What I love about these products is that they are designed well with trendy colors and cool angles.

3)      www.arborday.org We partnered with the Arbor Day foundation this year with our Buy 3 (Pure Bars) Plant a Tree Campaign.  It was tremendously successful and I would recommend joining the tree cause for the holidays.  With fun programs like “text for a tree” and “holiday tree card” (where every card plants a tree) they make giving a tree fun and hip.  The Arbor Day Foundation is easy to work with and definitely green!

4)      www.ecobedroom.com/shop/bedding.html  This eco-friendly company out of California makes cozy organic bedding of all shapes sizes and colors.  Want a cool gift?  Give a silky blanket made of 100% sustainable bamboo!

5)      www.tomsshoes.com  If you haven’t heard of Tom’s Shoes you’ve got to check them out.  It’s a great story, and for every pair of shoes you buy, they donate a pair to a child in need.  As they grow, their styles get more diverse and attractive so you actually do want to wear a pair of these comfy shoes J Buy a pair for someone on your list and yourself while you’re at it.

6)      www.greentoysinc.com  Made from recycled plastic and environmentally friendly materials these classic children’s toys are great gifts for the kids on your list.

7)      www.thepurebar.com  Of course I couldn’t leave these out!  Made with certified organic, simple ingredients Pure Bars are a tasty green gift.  Order a box of Cherry Cashew and a box of Apple Cinnamon (Christmas colors) and give by the box or stuff into stockings for a yummy and healthy green gift!

Happy shopping –Oh in case you didn’t notice, all these gifts can be ordered from the comfort of your own couch, my kind of shopping!
