Holiday Gift Ideas

To kick off the holiday season we held a giveaway for a great kid powered toy, the PlasmaCar.  My goal this season is to bring you lots of ideas (and fun events!) for children and adults alike.  To keep from cluttering up the posts with endless lists of items I find, I have created a shop that you can browse to get ideas.  I am using Amazon for this because of ease and variety, please feel free to shop around for better deals if you see something you like.  If you are an Amazon fan, you might want to consider joining their Amazon Mom (or Dad-Grandma-etc) program which gives you free two day shipping.

Though buying local is preferred, like many others I live in a rural area and simply don't have access to many items (or most).  I find that this helps me with that, as I know it does others.  Be sure to reuse and/or recycle your packaging.  I find that it shipping boxes come in handy when packaging holiday gifts that are otherwise hard to wrap (don't forget to get reuse-creative with your 'wrapping paper too!'.  I love to keep the air bubble strips to stuff into boxes to keep noise down.  This prevents some gift guessing by those that like to 'shake and hear'.

Check out the new The Eco-Friendly Family Store for your gift idea browsing and shopping.  I would love to hear feedback from you as well.  The shop is a work in progress and I will add ideas as I come by them.  If you have any favorite gift ideas please feel free to share.  I'm sure others would also love to benefit from your experience.

Happy Holidays from our family to yours.
