The holidays are fast approaching. There is a girl online who has a ticker counting down the number of sleeps left. It freaks me out every time I see it. I haven't started anything at all yet. I do have a list though....if that counts for anything.
This season we decided to really look for ways to be more environmentally responsible with our gift giving. As a result we will be making most of the gifts we give.
What are the key things you can do to reduce the impact your gift giving has this holiday season?

What are the key things you can do to reduce the impact your gift giving has this holiday season?
- Give the unique gift of animal or tree adoption.
- Handmake your gifts.
- Look for products that have reduced packaging.
- Used recycled wrapping paper, reuse gift bags, make your own paper or use natural items (ie: pinecones or evergreen branches).
- Give the gift of time. Spending time with a loved one can be more meaningful then a giftcard or sweater.
- Look for organic cotton or hemp clothing and bags.
- Reduce the number of cards you send out and think about hand making them with reused paper products.
- Shop at stores where there products are made locally.
- Give a tree or plant.
