We think that giving a gift basket for the holidays is one of the best ideas. There’s a little bit of everything and it’s so much fun digging through to find what little item might be on the bottom. Here we’ve come up with four sites that package your gift so nicely that it’s going to be hard to open them.
A - Clear Remedies – Featuring gift baskets for just about everyone and you can also purchase a membership for an eco-friendly gift-of-the-month club.
B - Therapy in a Box – Their “Fair Trade Collection” includes recycled telephone wire baskets which are handmade by the Zulu people of South Africa.
C - The Groovy Mind – Your one stop shop for delicious fair-trade coffee and chocolate brings you the Literary Lunch basket - the $42.00 gift set includes a beautiful handmade tree-free journal.
D - Goods That Give – Not only are these gift baskets collected from high quality products (from gourmet food to kids) but the packaging peanuts are FDA approved organic cornstarch and water soluble.
