Green-American gifts


Maybe it's too late for Christmas 2007 but let's not forget, VALENTINE'S day is right around the corner.

Anyways. I've also been trying to buy more "Green" products, products that are recycled or good for the environment...

How about this awesome snack tray made from a record?
And made in the United States!

Store.greenfeet.com also has a lot of other fun gifts, some made in the US, some aren't.
They have plants in a bag, that you grow out of paperbags, handmade soy candles, etc.

They even have this great cushion to sit or lay on, made from pop bottles!



"Made from Recycled Materials
Made with soft EcoFleece outside (from 87% recycled soda bottles) and fully stuffed with 100% recycled polyester fiberfill, also from soda bottles. Both fleece shell and inside pillow are commercial machine washable and hypo-allergenic. The Landing Pad saves 170 soda bottles from clogging up our landfills. 60"dia. X 10" h. Made in USA."


If you need a tote for toting around your items and not needing to use disposable plastic bags, Greenfeet offers chic totes for doing so.

The brown bag on the right is made in the US and runs for about $24.00.

Happy Holidays!

Socks

Target doesn't sell American-made socks. That might be why I was so happy to find all kinds of great socks at Marshall's, the discount store similar to TJ Maxx.

One brand, Wyoming Wear, makes a great fleece sock for the adventurers in your life. At Marshall's, they were priced at $7.99. On their website, the only picture they show is of an ugly style, for $12.99. (Wyomingwear.com)


Marshall's also had Columbia sportswear socks, heavy duty ones that a fashionable lumber jack might wear, for a reasonable price.
