Now that we’ve gotten the stocking stuffers out of the way, it’s time to move on to the bigger gifts . . . the ones that you’ll have to spend a bit more on—come on ‘tis the season to give.

Lets start with the hardest person to buy green gifts for—the eco-chic style maven. Finding green gifts is a daunting task to begin with, but finding gifts that are eco-friendly for the most spoiled of shoppers is a mission almost impossible. Or is it?

Any eco-fashionista will love Organic Cotton Tank Tops from Eileen Fisher (pictured on the model here). Or what about the new line Desert Essence and their Organic Bulgarian Lavender Hand and Body Lotion? Made from the purest of organic ingredients, this lotion will calm, soothe, and impress even the harshest of cosmetic critics. Another popular beauty gift is Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Shampoo Grapefruit & Sugar Beet Shampoo.

A combination of grapefruit extract, coconut and, and sunflower oils, this shampoo smells delicious and is said to claim soy protein that promises to penetrate, strengthen and repair damaged hair.

Also popular are Viva Terra’s Hemp & Silk Slouch Bags. A 60/40 blend of eco-friendly hemp and silk, the bag is contoured to fit the shape of any bag-hag and hang beautifully off the shoulder. Interior pockets are perfectly sized compartments for all the necessities—cell phone, sunglasses, and organic lip balm.
