\"Make<\/a>
Make a microloan in a friend\/family member’s name, and double the joy your share…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With only a few days left of holiday shopping, here are seven ideas to help you choose one-of-a kind gifts for the environmentally-conscious, fashionable ladies in your life. Take it from me, regardless of the holidays your family celebrates, every woman would appreciate a kindhearted, thoughtful present. The choices vary from ordering online to upcycling projects<\/a> to simply giving your time. Most importantly, each choice included here continues bringing joy to the recipients long after they\u2019ve been unwrapped. Women are as unique as snowflakes; be sure to choose a special gift to reflect their style and interests!<\/p>\n

Shop Brands that Care<\/h3>\n

1. Save More with lur apparel:<\/strong> As the sustainable fashion industry continues to flourish, we\u2019re seeing more designer brands like lur apparel<\/a> providing women with timeless, comfortable looks made from 100 percent recycled materials.

2. 2014 Calendars:<\/strong> Help deserving people get microloans to start small businesses and improve their lives\u2019 by purchasing Whole Planet Foundation<\/a>\u2019s 2014 calendar for you and a friend. The brightly colored calendars<\/a> are now on sale for only $4 at local Whole Foods Markets and online, and they all include $44 in coupons to help you save a few bucks while staying on the path of eating an all-natural, organic diet.<\/p>\n

Customize without Overconsuming<\/h3>\n

3. Regifting:<\/strong> Take out those items you\u2019ve been storing in the closet all year and consider \u201cregifting\u201d<\/a>them. Exchanging pre-owned gifts with others, once associated with cheapskates, is a smart way to customize a present without buying unnecessary items and further contributing to growing landfills.<\/p>\n

4. Handmade is Heartfelt:<\/strong> Regardless of your creative abilities, you\u2019re sure to find a project to make your favorite lady a handcrafted, upcycled gift. Check out these do-it-yourself ideas over on our sister blog, Crafting a Green World, to repurpose an old mirror into a magnetic board<\/a>for hanging pictures and notes orreuse fabric scarps to sew up a fabulous handbag<\/a>to carry holiday goodies. Or try whipping up these simple and delicious food gifts<\/a> for baking tasty cookies, soups and more.<\/p>\n

Acts of Service and Charitable Donations Make a Lasting Impression<\/h3>\n

5. Invest in Others:<\/strong> All too often we get caught up in the excitement of receiving gifts; we forget to consider the true meaning of the holiday. Spread some good tidings to people in need by encouraging your family to sponsor a microloan<\/a>, sometimes as little as $50, or donating to a charity of your choice in honor of your loved one.<\/p>\n

6. Give an Experience:<\/strong> Non-materialistic gifts<\/a> like memberships, pet adoptions and concert tickets create memories to last a lifetime. They can be purchased online at your convenience; so, you skip the hustle and bustle of department stores and reduce your carbon footprint of packaging, delivery and more.<\/p>\n

7. Your Time is Invaluable:<\/strong> Do acts of service for the women dear to you or even a complete stranger this holiday season by choosing from a wide-ranging list of generous deeds from this campaign<\/a>. No money is required!<\/p>\n

Whichever gifts you choose for the eco-chic lady on your list, consider these resourceful ways to package your presents without wrapping paper<\/a>. What are some of your favorite gift ideas to share with your family and friends? Happy Holidays!<\/p>\n
