Perfect Green Stocking Stuffers!

We have so many great little stocking stuffers (small in size and small in price!) we couldn't write about all of them at once...Take a look at some of our great, green ideas below and check in at your local showroom for more that are sure to please!

Staple-free stapler - $7.95
These cute and colorful little gadgets attach about 4 sheets of paper at once without the use of staples, making recycling a no-brainer and getting rid of the "middle-man," the metal staple!

Eco paper-clips - $7.25
Made from 100% sustainable wood pulp, these colorful wooden paper clips are recyclable, reusable, made from a renewable source, and won't damage paper shredders!

Bamboo spreaders, spatulas and spoons - $2.25 - $3.95
Not only do these simple pieces have long lives, you'll be blown away by these great prices!  Some of the spoons and spatulas even come with a built-in spoon rest to save your stove-top from getting messy while cooking.  The chef of your household will love them!

Beeswax Candles - $7.00-$15.99
We have a great selection of all-natural beeswax candles, made by a New England-based company, Danica Designs.  The colors are light but rich, and we have a selection of tapers, pillars and tea lights.  A benefit to beeswax candles is they burn about 3x slower than other candles, making them last three times longer!

Local honey - $7.60
Also from a local source, come to 'g' for an 8oz jar of honey, harvested at E&T Farms in West Barnstable, MA.  Besides being delicious and a perfect sweetener for winter tea, eating honey from a source geographically close to you is actually instrumental in fighting allergies!  Exposure to the local pollen through honey builds up an immunity that will lessen allergic reactions to pollen and plant allergens.  Have a relative who suffers?  Give them a jar of local honey and a card explaining the RX effects! 

We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season...stop in today until 5pm or tomorrow (Christmas Eve) until 4pm to get your last minute gifts!

Product Spotlight: All Natural Bamboo Bedding Sets by Dreamsacks Bamboo Dreams

Nothing says "I love you" (or "I love me") like a new set of richly (and all-naturally) colored and luxuriously soft 100% bamboo bedding.  New to us, we are excited to announce that we now carry Dreamsacks Bamboo Dreams Bedding.  And from us to you, these sheets, pillow cases and comforter covers really are a dream!  They are offered in the 5 colors below plus the sienna, seen above. Bedding appears to be one more niche offering of the sustainable wonder, bamboo.  

You might wonder if there are any specific reasons to choose bamboo over cotton, and in fact, there are.  Bamboo is known for growing quite quickly and is therefor considered to be a renewable source.  It also does not have many natural pests.  In contrast, cotton (unless organically grown) typically is predated and requires pesticides in production, as well as more than twice the amount of water needed by bamboo to grow.  

Seen above: Green Tea, Rain, Natural

 

Undyed, Almond, Chocolate

An alternative to synthetics for sure (most of which require great amounts of energy and/or petroleum-based products), and seemingly more environmentally responsible than cotton, there are other reasons to turn to bamboo for bedding.  Another is it's anti-microbial properties.  Bamboo has a natural element that deems it resistant to bacteria and odors - we think that's pretty important for something you sleep on every night!

The machine-washable (and tumble-dry-able) bedding by Dreamsacks can be purchased by sheet sets in Twin, Queen, King or California King, comforter covers in Queen or King, with additional pillowcases sold separately.  While full sets are not stocked on site, you will want to stop in to choose your color in person, and then we can have them shipped directly to you.  So, whether you get them as a gift to yourself this holiday season or as a present for a loved one, stop in to 'g' today to select a color and place your order!  You owe it to yourself to "Dream in the luxurious softness of bamboo..."
