Greener Mother’s Day Gifts

By Tiffany 6 Comments

Mother's Day has become yet another commercial holiday were you are encouraged to buy people "stuff" they don't need. Of course I am not going to to complain about ANY day where moms get some extra props and receive gifts from a loved one. I just think we need to think a little about the woman on the other end of the gift a bit more. A green mom especially might be more sensitive to all the unnecessary waste associated with these holidays. Flowers won't last and they may have been doused in … [Read more...]

Hundred Dollar Holiday: The Case For A More Joyful Christmas

By Tiffany 46 Comments

Over the holiday weekend I read Hundred Dollar Holiday: The Case For A More Joyful Christmas. With less than 100 pages it is a pretty fast read and I loved the fact that the cover was made from brown packing paper... it just screams minimalism and voluntary simplicity. The core idea is to pick a modest amount of money like $100 and spend no more than that on the holiday.

Green Valentines

By Tiffany 3 Comments

Valentine's Day is just around the corner so I thought I would link to the article I wrote last year with some Eco Valentines Day gift ideas. And here a few more simplistic ideas for that special day: Nothing says "Love" like your time - Spending time with your sweetie has to be the easiest and lowest impact way to "gift" your valentine. Instead of showering each other with material objects why not set aside some time to spend together alone. Go to a movie or a museum, take a bike ride or … [Read more...]
