2010 Eco Gift Guide: Splurge!
While we’ve rounded up plenty of green gifts for every budget, it’s always fun to create a wish list of what we’d love to give or receive if we’re able to splurge a little. All these items are true investment pieces, high quality and high value. And keep in mind, it’s often better to get one big thing that you’d really love, than a bunch of tiny things - simplify, simplify, simplify (and sometimes splurge!).
| Porte-tout Wallet by RoyalBLUSH: For the Trendy Traveler This vegetable-tanned leather carry-all can transform from clutch to wallet to travel organizer. The rich, warm caramel color compliments any outfit ($399). |
|
| Modern Playhouse: To Let the Imagination Roam The Modern Playhouse has a minimalist design, but boasts maximum planning and consideration, with FSC-certified domestic lumber and maple apple-ply, finished with a non-toxic, non-formaldehyde interior finish, the homes are ready for some DIY family fun ($1,250). |
|
| Upcycled Sound Frame: For the Music & Art Lover Fine art, music, technology and sustainable design come together in Rebaroque’s upcycled sound frames. Simply connect to your smart device for control at your fingertips (pricing available upon request). |
|
| Jennifer Dawes Dewdrop Earrings: For the Glamour Girl Jennifer Dawes is dedicated to producing locally and uses only recycled gold with conflict-free stones. We can’t imagine anything that would make a girl feel more like a princess than the stunning dewdrop earrings ($3,000). |
|
| Electrolux Washer & Dyer: For More Family Time Zem recently got a beautifully life-changing new washer/dryer set from Electrolux. Though not quite a stocking-stuffer, it can stuff thousands of organic stockings in one load! And with a wash-to-dry time of only 36 minutes, it leaves more time to spend with the kids. (Washers from $1,299, dryers from $1,199). |
|
| AQUAOVO Water Filter: For the Chic Conservationist It’s not often that water filter and beautiful are uttered in the same sentence. Economical, efficient, quality – yes. But until the AQUAOVO, we were hard pressed to find a filtration system of such superior aesthetics ($699). |
|
| One-of-a-Kind Fossil Cuff Links: For the Man That Gets Better with Age Just like this fossilized black palm, some things get better with age. These recycled silver cuff links will are just as timeless and unique as he is ($500). |
