As a parent, I appreciation the value of furniture that can withstand the pounding metered out by energetic young toddlers. I learned quickly that living and dining room sets can be of high quality, but are no match for my little speedsters. Additionally, I want to ensure they have a special place to play, relax and call their own.

The stylishly sturdy designs of Whimsical hand-painted children’s table and chair set offered through GreenandMore have proven to be the perfect addition to my youngsters’ playroom. Each piece is handcrafted by artists in exciting colors like Bohemian Orange and Rhapsody Yellow, reflecting a creative sense of individuality. Besides being beneficial to your family, these pieces maintain a sense of environmental principle since they are crafted from only FSC certified wood and low/no V.O.C. paints.

Whether you are a sensible, yet fun-loving parent, or simply a doting grandparent with a birthday or holiday gift in mind, these heirloom quality works of art are sure to delight youngsters from six to one hundred and six.

We all like to hear of environmentally friendly ideas that can be easily transitioned into our lives. Well now, such an inventive idea can literally stop traffic: Street Sign Drink Coasters. I had a chance to use one at a cocktail party several weekends ago, and found myself seeking out its partners like the proverbial street sign on a map. These amusing and thoughtfully recycled coasters were truly eclectic and stylish; and, they became instant conversation pieces for the host and her enamored guests. They make a wonderful holiday gift or stocking stuffer for that eco-minded friend who is looking for something different and original.

When I saw the rechargeable LED Kitty flashlight on GreenandMore.com, I knew I could take care of two presents in one. Because of its overall convenience as a light source without the need or use of batteries, I immediately thought of friends who might find they are in need of an LED flashlight during a storm or other potential power outage. And because it is in the shape of a cute, cuddly kitten my cat-loving friends would absolutely adore its feline design. It is absolutely adorable and actually gives off a good amount of light. When the lights went out in our offices recently it was this little cat LED flash light that saved the day when I wanted to visit the Ladies Room! It is small enough to fit in a purse and can save you fumbling on a dark night when you are trying to fit your front door key in lock.

We all like to do our part for the environment, especially when it comes to recycling our bottles and cans. Well, the new no-touch kitchen recycling bin makes disposing of these items that much cleaner and easier. With its simple assembly, sleek design and convenient power source, this appliance provides a sensible receptacle for items destined for recycling. Plus, its two bin design accentuates convenience of separation without multiple “blue bins” cluttering your garage, basement, or washroom. A must have for any home hoping to promote a greener sense of living.

For most women, a handbag can be a unique statement of one’s individuality and sense of style. Why not make that statement with a green stamp of approval, with one of our fashionably chic and eco-conscious recycled handbags? Handbags made from inner tubes of tractors, recycled car parts and license plates are sure to stop the flow of traffic, drawing admiring looks from people of all ages, genders, and fashion sense. I am always at a loss as to what to give as a gift to a teenager but this year I think I have picked a winner.

If you are searching for the perfect holiday or anniversary gift for your significant other, look no further than the soy-based bath robe on GreenandMore.com. It’s soft luxuriance is equally matched by its surprisingly unbeatable price for such a high quality, eco-minded product. Made from an all natural blend of sustainably produced soybean and cotton fibers, each bathrobe has a terry lining with a velvet-like exterior in an unbleached, dye-free, natural color. All robes are Unisex-meaning you may find yourself sharing with your better half-and are available in sizes Small/Medium and Large/Extra Large.

Kitchen towels are a necessity but often dreary, soiled objects hanging around our kitchens. So I was pleased to come across what I really thought were some particularly pleasing designs in organic kitchen towels and like them so much have started to give them as house gifts when going to a party. Always welcome as a house gift and different than coming to the party with the same old bottle of wine, which I have done all too often.

Being an allergy sufferer I am not in favor of clutter with bric a brac and have learned over the last 10 years that less is more. However a well chosen piece can enhance your décor even when you do not have flowers and can look wonderful when filled with those flowers that you receive unexpectedly on a special occasion. I have always found it difficult to find a vase that I like but these recycled and handcrafted copper vases are simply beautiful.

Going green doesn’t have to be without a sense of style. The latest reusable shopping bags, found on GreenandMore are an excellent alternative to the run-of-the-mill reusable shopping bags sold at most supermarkets. These chic shopping bags come rolled into one convenient carrying case that can fit into your purse or glovebox. Each reusable shopping bag has an individual design and is large enough to carry a wide spectrum of groceries and other items, without being so large as to weigh you down once shopping is done. This holiday season, give a gift that will be sure to please both the eye and the environmentalist in your circle of family and friends.

Most of the time when we get presented with an inexpensive air purifier, they test out to be “cheap and nasty” and an utter waste of money. Not so with the Hamilton Beach Allergen Reducer, this is an ideal travel or desk companion being the size of a large clock radio. This small air purifier has a couple of things going for it other than its astonishingly low price tag of $59.95.Firstly, it has an effective filter while not being pure Hepa passed our efficiency tests with flying colors. Put simply, this little air purifier does a good job at filtering out allergens and manages to be quiet as it goes about its work. And to make matters better for the frugal consumer you can vacuum its filter and prolong its useful life considerably. The filter will not last forever but you might get a couple of years out of it and given the price I think that is a very fair deal. Buy one for yourself and as a gift for that allergy sufferer in your family.
