Some of our best and most popular items for the holidays will not only make everyone on your list smile this year, they will also make the planet smile!

Here are some of our favorite green gift items this holiday….

ornaments from Finkbeiner

Buying items made from recycled and sustainable materials is a GREAT way to stay green this holiday season!

Our German laser cut wood ornaments are responsibly harvested from sustainable wood in the Black Forest region and have a look that will please and delight anyone on your Christmas list this year.

Available in tons of different shapes, sizes and styles, these are one our most popular categories every year at this time!

Fair trade fabric shoppers from Matr Boomie

Another great way to stay green this year, is to give gifts that replace disposable items. Our Fair Trade fabric eco-shopper bags are a great gift that will help cut down on the need for paper or plastic shopping bags at the store.

These bags not only look great but they make a great shopper, tote, day-tripper or diaper bag.

*For an extra green gift, use one of these beautiful bags as an alternative to traditional gift wrap.

Pine, Spice and Mint candles from Big Dipper!

It’s the season for candles and holiday scents as well, so make sure to keep it green by supporting responsible companies that use safe, clean burning materials only.

Big Dipper Wax Works are made from all natural beeswax and are scented with all natural ingredients and essential oils. Their wicks are all cotton and they contain no lead.

A wonderful, safe, clean burning holiday candle that the whole family will enjoy.

New Year’s Resolution #2: BE MORE HEALTHY!

There are always tons of great products and resources to help improve your overall health here at the Nest, some are more traditional, others are a little more unique, but the one thing they have in common is better health, be it physical, emotional or spiritual health. Today we are going to focus on the physical health side of things. Whether it’s replacing items in your kitchen with safer alternatives made from clean materials, or starting your little ones off on a good foot by removing toys and kids’ stuff that contain potentially harmful materials, you can make strides to give everyone in the home a happier and healthier start to the new year.

replace your Teflon coated pots and pans with a cast iron option. No oil needed and no Teflon residue!

instead of traditional plastic spatulas and spoons, a BPA-free silicone alternative is a great alternative.

Ditch the butter and oil in 2015 with a non-stick stone muffin, bread, lasagna or casserole dish.

start baby on the path of good decisions with corn-based plastic teethers and other healthy alternatives to the typical plastics.
