Green Gift Guide from OMBE

OMBE’s green gift guide includes eco-friendly gift ideas and resources that will help you find the best eco-finds for everyone on your list any season:

For the Hostess

Shop VivaTerra for stylish, eco-friendly housewares. You will find the perfect housewarming gift to bring to any festive event and maybe a few other things for your own home.

For the Foodie

Pick up a copy of Jesse Ziff Cool’s cookbook, Simply Organic: A Cookbook for Sustainable, Seasonal, and Local Ingredients. She has compiled 150 recipes incorporating organic and sustainable food options to compliment any dish. Chapters organized by season and farmer profiles will inspire just about anyone to get into the kitchen.

For the Yogini

Check out Manduka’s PVC-free, biodegradable, and eco-friendly yoga mats. This is the Cadillac of yoga mats-guaranteed for life and out-performing all other mats. These mats are available in several colors and weights, including the original eKO-mat and a lighter, travel version for yoginis on the go.

For the Guy

Check out Toporanch for super-soft organic clothing. They also have earth-friendly options for women and children, but their line of men’s t-shirts and hoodies deserve special mention.

For the Local/Organic Obsessed

Visit Local Harvest to find a CSA near you and give the gift of community supported agriculture. CSA shares can include vegetables and fruits as well as eggs, homemade bread, meat, cheese, fruit, flowers, or other farm products.

For your Best Gal Pal

“Mirror, mirror on the wall….where can I find an organic, effective skincare line for acne, wrinkles, or problem skin?” Search no further than Marie Veronique, a skin care line based in Berkeley, CA that combines the best of scientific research with botanical ingredients. OK-Maybe this one is for your best gal pal and for you. 

For the Kids

Our Green House has a huge selection of eco-friendly and organic clothes, toys, and family home goods that will please all ages from the littlest to biggest kid in the family.
