Struggling with gift ideas? Definitely want to stay away from the mall? I’m with you on both counts – Christmas shopping is right up there with major dental work on my list of favorite things.

Got a potential business mogul on your list? Why not steer them towards environmental responsibility in their entrepreneurial pursuits. The board game GBO Hawai’i<\/a>\u00a0“brings sustainability to life in a fun, interactive way,” according to Sustainable Industries Magazine<\/em>. And if you find that someone in your home or circle of friends really gets into the game, you can always follow it up with a copy of game creator Scott Cooney’s book Build a Green Small Business: Profitable Ways to Become an Ecopreneur<\/a><\/em> (yes, that’s an affiliate link… and Scott’s a friend and colleague here at Important Media).
