What’s a better gift than one from the heart? How about a gift that makes a positive difference in the world as we know it? I think the best gifts are those for the home. I get a lot of amazing letters from people who feel the impact of the economy and environmental issues, and the first thing they ask is “how can I make my home a beautiful escape, a retreat from the madness of life?” So we’re all looking for a change, a home that surrounds us with beauty, kindness, love and comfort. Gifts make the buyer as well as the receiver feel good, why not add extra joy and make it good for the earth too?

MyEarth360 is a great spot for eco-friendly gifts. Bring an entirely earth-lovin’ place setting including bamboo plates, napkins and beeswax candles a few days before the big party. Your sister, friend, uncle, or mother will love the thought!

Or check out the Grow-A-Note holiday cards that are made from recycled paper. Good stuff!
