Sometimes it is hard to find green gifts at a reasonable price especially if you want to spend $25 or less. With the economy still being sluggish this year, $25 seems to be the magical price threshold that most people want to spend on family that they do not see very often or good friends.

I have been spending quite a bit of time lately exploring eBay’s World of Good. It is a growing shopping mall for green gifts, and specialty items, and really fun to browse.

I recommend that you browse eBay’s World of Good to see what they have to offer and bookmark some items for your friends and relatives. It is always good to know that you are contributing to the health and well being of your friends and family.

Here is one of my personal favorites this week:

Alex and Ani St. Christopher Bracelet
I think that I might have to get one of these for myself.

For my friends, this is a great gift:

It amazes me every time I research baby items for gifts or just for fun how many innovations have been made in baby items since I had a baby. My youngest is only 12 years old, so that wasn’t that long ago. Today I was searching for interesting baby furniture and came across the Cariboo line of baby furniture.

Cariboo’s line of furniture is very simple, sleek and modern looking and entirely functional. I would have loved to have had something like this in my home when I had my babies. Not only that, but they are made from sustainable wood.

The coordinating bassinets and changing tables blend easily with the most stylish home decor. Each piece will be a striking addition to any nursery or master bedroom.”
