It’s the day before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was worrying, not even—Oh shoot! You forgot a gift for the neighbor, or second cousin, or someone. If you’ve overlooked someone in the holiday frenzy, don’t fret! Here are some last-minute, eco-friendly gifts:
  • Ebook: With just a few keystrokes, you can browse through a library of wonderful gift ideas. Since these gifts are typically delivered via e-mail on Christmas day, these environmentally-friendly options will keep your secret—and delight your giftee!
  • Trees, tigers, or just warm fuzzy feelings: If you’re stumped, consider donating in your great Aunt Mrytle's name to one of many wonderful environmental causes. With your donation, most orginizations will provide detailed information so you can easily share the impact of your gift. With just the click of a mouse, you can help preserve redwoods or great cats while spreading holiday cheer.
  • Crafty creation:  With many common household items, you can easily create a memorable, handmade gift. For example, to make a luxe sugar scrub, you just need: sugar, oil, fragrance, and a cute container to put it in! Check out this resource of more than 100 do-it-yourself gift ideas for more inspiration.
  • Baked goods: With some sugar, flour and a little LUV, you can easily (and quickly!) bake a fantastic gift. Cookies, cakes, pastries and other sweet treats are a welcome gift and easy to make on the fly. If your pantry is running low, you can filter recipes based on what ingredients you already have. But please, skip the fruitcake.
