I showed this Hydrogen powered model car to a bunch of high tech CEOs who all wanted one for themselves - forget about the kids! This is a big kid toy. For most of us, hydrogen powered vehicles seem like a distant dream but take a glimpse of the future with the power source that may one day power the planet. In 2006 this was Time magazine’s best new toy of the year. $114.99.The Science Kits at $259.99 are what we are giving to the grand kids this holiday season.

Flexible solar panels on your computer notebook case, handbag or back pack –can you believe that? We gave one to our teenage grandson a messenger bag as a gift last month. Stay plugged in to your iPod, cell-phone, or other electronic device while at the beach, walking to class, or simply window shopping. Juicebag Solar Bags and Backpacks have you covered. Each uses a flexible panel of cells and represents the latest in flexible solar technology. And every bag, made of recycled soda bottles, is constructed of rip-stop nylon, guaranteeing years of use. $249.99

I was distressed to learn recently that for every four trees that are destroyed on this planet, only one gets replaced. So this rocker is going to be my own treat to myself this winter. It takes a while to be delivered as it is custom made, but it is as beautifully designed as it is eco friendly. The webbing on the seats is recycled surplus car seat belts and the beach bent plywood construction is kinder on our forests. I think these rockers are a work of art. A gift for oneself. $1,049.99
