Welcome 2010!!!!
With the extensive gift-giving season behind us, I decided to start this blog with a bit of irony just for fun. My youngest daughter has a birthday next week so in dedication to her, I am going to discuss some green gifts to start 2010 off with a green bang.
Give the Gift of Trees
Brought to you by the Arbor Day Foundation
For years the National Arbor Day Foundation has offered "Gift Trees." These hardy evergreen trees are $3.00 each and can be used as fundraisers, party favors or whatever your special occasion is. You can even customize your labels.

Green Toy Gift Ideas
Eco friendly toys for your children from 3 years up
Green Toys offer colorful plastic toys which are made from curbside collected milk containers. Recycled plastic saves energy and reduces greenhouse gases. These safe toys contain no phthalates or BPA. These toys are beautifully detailed and a wide variety is available for both boys or girls.
Staple Free Paper Stapler
Cool and safer than regular staplers
Staples papers together without staples! Yes, really. This is how it works: The Eco Staple Free Stapler cuts out tiny strips of paper in the corner of your documents and uses these strips to "stitch" up to five pages of standard paper together. No more metal staples (so that's good for the planet and your wallet). Ideal for paper shredders. Child safe. Uses no metal staples. Creates no paper waste. Safe for children.
