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:

Ebay is developing a new eco-friendly, organic, fair trade subsite called World of Good. For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, World of Good is a somewhat small site right now, but rapidly growing, full of interesting and unique eco-friendly products.

If you are familiar with the eco-chic green companies that have been creating great clothing, personal care, annd other green products, you will probablly recognize several company names on the roster. So far, everything that I have seen on the site is from known companies, large to very small, and most of them also have their own websites. But if you are an Ebay shopper or want to look at them all together, it is a great place to search and shop. And it may introduce you to some companies or products that you weren’t familiar with. Worth your time to check out, even just to browse. I have already found a few items that I am interested in, so you better get there before I snatch them up.

To find out more about World of Good, follow any of the links in this post.

Ebay World of Good is a post from: Eco-Chic Green Fashion

This wall art, Propeller in Grass, is made from 100% sustainable recycled polyester. It is handprinted and handmade in the USA with environmentally-friendly inks with no chemical waste or disposal generated.

With so many years of unbridled consumerism behind us, it is nice to realize that there are really companies that are working to change the way we live, and the way we decorate our homes. One of those companies is inhabit, a home decor company that uses sustainable and environmentally friendly materials to make their home decor products.

One of their products, Wall Flats, won Interior Design Magazine’s Eco-Friendly Product of the Year.

“Wall Flats are Inhabit’s take on a modern, eco-friendly wallpaper. A modern embossed three-dimensional wallcovering that is good for the environment. Does it get any better than that?

Wall Flats are made from 100% bamboo pulp, one of the world’s most renewable resources. No trees were harmed in the making of this product:) They are a sustainable wallcovering that is free of chemicals and will not be a burden to the environment at the end of it’s lifecycle, since the tiles are 100% bio-degradable.

Wall Flats are designed to expand in any direction with an automatic pattern repeat and can be painted to coordinate with your decor. You can cover an existing wall with Wall Flats, help disguise a not-so-smooth wall or add a modern, green wallpaper to any room setting through patterning.”

Most of inhabit’s products are designed with geometric or nature related patterns and motifs.
