Green Guide Network was asked to develop a list of sustainable green gift ideas for the holiday season. We didn't feel that just one list would fit everyones interests, budgets or needs so we developed 4 lists; a womens list, a mens list, childrens list as well as a do-good charity list. Starting here with the womens list, we will continue to release all of the green holiday gift guides in the coming weeks. Our list includes holiday ideas that are interesting, practical and eco-friendly. Have a happy, safe and green holiday season!
