This green guide is the best eco-friendly gift guide I’ve come across! I can’t wait to see the handmade guide. Just wanted to say thanks for all of your hard work on these guides - and making holiday shopping so much easier for the rest of us!

I’ve noticed a lot of people purchasing the reusable Envirosax bags as gifts at my shop. I have also seen them mentioned as bags you can carry on planes or as a purse! i never thought of them as more than just grocery bags until now.

What an awesome guide & great range of eco-friendly products!

I cam across these inexpensive “eco-resin” bracelets the other day - might be a good stocking stuffer:
