Why am I already writing about gifts for the holidays, you ask? Well, they're only about 2 months away, so you better start planning! Besides, I've got a few on my mind that you should consider, and this list is going to grow throughout the season.
- The Conscious Cook: cookbook by Tal Ronnen. Check out my rave review here. Love this book!
- Handkerchiefs from Hank & Cheef: I am in love with mine! They are a great eco alternative to tissues, and they have really cute and modern designs. These would make great little gifts or stocking stuffers.
- Tea from Indonique: They have delicious, loose leaf tea. Maybe pair this gift with a mug and tea strainer, or a tea pot. My favorite flavors? Ginger Peach Orange Flavored Green and Honey Bush Herbal.
- Bamboo Utensils from To-Go Ware: I am obsessed with mine and I use them on almost a daily basis. I get so many compliments on them because they're very handy, eco-friendly, and cool looking!
- Glass Straws from GlassDharma. I love these straws - great for all sorts of drinks (they even have some for boba tea!)
- Body Products from small companies like Strawberry Hedgehog. Local, handmade, and vegan.
- Body Products from LUSH. You probably already know about LUSH, but they have a ton of vegan products and they're very sustainable. Plus they're very colorful and fun.
- Neti pot: everyone should have one. Whether or not you have sinus issues or allergies, a neti pot is very soothing, and great when you have any sort of congestion.
- TOMS shoes: I got a pair of vegan wrap boots for Christmas last year and I'm wearing them today. I get endless compliments on them and they are very comfortable. Wouldn't mind another pair as a gift...
- Accessories from Elvis & Kresse: they sell products made out of old firehouses! Most of them are vegan, and can make them leather free upon request.
- Cooking classes: find a local chef and gift their classes. There are plenty in Los Angeles, but I recommend Christy Morgan, Seed Kitchen, and Spork Foods.

i love the hank and cheef site! their designs are really cool and they do custom orders, which i think would be really cute! do you have any ideas about an eco friendly bag? i found at guffly.com that is made from seatbelts!
Let me look into bags...none come to mind off the top of my head. Although, I've always loved bags made from old tires, like these: http://www.oneworldprojects.com/products/tire-bags.shtml
Great list! I have been lusting after those wrap boots for ages. :c) Thanks for putting this together.
Oooh ... nice list! I've tried soaps from Strawberry Hedgehog and they are absolutely fabulous! Now I'm going to take a peek at your other recommendations!
Thanks for sharing these "finds" with us!

Great ideas! Thanks so much for sharing. Any green cooking ideas?
Thanks for the recommendation. I was thinking to get one for each member of my family and my girlfriend. I haven't decided but thanks for your opinion I will take it under consideration.
