It’s that time of year when we get ready for the holiday giving frenzy. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza, and the many other holidays that are celebrated this time of year typically involve gift exchange. Why not make some smart and green giving choices this year and think before you buy.

Here are some green gift ideas:

• Make you own gifts - skip the big box store and put your heart into it (nothing says “I care” more than a hand made present!)

• Donate in someone’s name - everyone has a passion or a cause, why not find out what your family and friends care about and donate some dinero or volunteer your time in their name?

• Create some delicious treats - spend some time in the kitchen whipping up a batch of something that makes people smile and feel warm during this chilly season - how about homemade chocolate cookies, a spicy tea mix, or some banana bread?

• Music makes ‘em smile - put people in the holiday spirit with a homemade CD mix of your seasonal favorites

We’ll be putting more Green Giving ideas in the coming weeks!
