These delightful cephalopods are made from recycled wool sweaters. Their wooly covering allows them to live comfortably on land, especially indoors. They are excellent companions for children of all ages, and add a splash of color to any room.
One of the best places to shop for green gifts is BuyGreen.com. BuyGreen.com is essentially a Eco-Chic Green Shopping Mall. All of the products on their site are green, eco-friendly and healthy products. They have products in several different types of product lines including skin care, household cleaners, clothing, and accessories. I am just going to highlight a few items here that are under $25 and would make great green gifts, but if you click through the links you will find loads more to explore. I love the Socktopus above.
