This year I’ve been inspired to look at gift giving in a new light- through green colored lenses if you will. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I had some trouble with this post, combining my green efforts with a quest for gifts seemed like competing ideologies. However, my hope is that I have shifted the way I look at giving gifts for the holiday’s—giving a gift that has meaning and thought is different than giving just for the sake of consumption. Luckily, I had parents who taught and exemplified that its it the thought that counts! A great way to give a little greener is to focus on buying from local artists and supporting handmade and one of a kind products. With that in mind, I’ve developed a list of some of my very favorite New Zealand handmade gifts that would be great to give or get this year!
