\"OrganicThanksgiving is only a week away, which means the gift-giving season is in full swing. To make your seasonal shopping easier and more sustainable, I’m bringing you a series of green online stores that offer a wide variety of eco-gifts that would make anyone on your list feel appreciated. The first offering in this series was Max and Zane<\/a> and now, for my second installment, I bring you Organic Style<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your might remember Rodale<\/a>‘s Organic Style Magazine<\/em>, which ran from 2001 to 2005, acting as a vital source of information for consumers during the early stages of the second coming of the environmental movement. Bought by sustainable flower innovator Organic Bouquet<\/a> in May of this year, I interviewed Organic Bouquet’s CEO Gerald Prolman<\/a> not long after the deal was made public. Launched just a few days ago, Organic Style is primed to become a top eco-shopping destination.<\/p>\n

“All the products sold on the site will be either certified organic, transition to organic, bio-dynamic, sustainable, Fair Trade or a new category we call ‘not certified but worthy.’ To help get the word out, we plan re-launch the Organic Style<\/em> magazine in the second quarter of 2008. We plan to initially publish the Organic Style<\/em> magazine quarterly and offer it as a free OrganicStyle.com customer benefit. We want to give our customers information that will be valuable in their lives, that will help them make informed decisions about a balanced and responsible way to live and celebrate life,” said Gerald Prolman in our August interview.<\/p>\n

As expected, Organic Style offers a breathtaking variety of flowers, wreathes, and plants<\/a> – my personal favorites are the charitable bouquets<\/a>, which give a percentage of each purchase price to each bouquet’s non-profit organization. The holiday section<\/a> offers seasonal gift baskets, wreathes, and gifts for your favorite canine (hopefully they’ll had some feline offerings too). As a bit of a sweets fiend, I was instantly drawn to the organic holiday sugar cookies<\/a> and organic gingerbread cookies<\/a> gift baskets. If gift baskets are your favorite way to give gifts, make sure to check out the gourmet section of Organic Style<\/a>, which has nearly 30 different eco-combinations.<\/p>\n

Even after the holidays have passed, Organic Style<\/a> is a bookmark-able shopping destination for green wardrobe, gardening, and bed & bath goods (I’ve already got my eyes on their beautifully colored organic blankets<\/a>). With my eco-fashion business focus, I couldn’t help but be impressed by their apparel category<\/a> that offers non-nonsense, well-designed garments and accessories.<\/p>\n

Though most of us don’t need an extra incentive to shop, Organic Style has a built-in eco-points program<\/a>. Every time you make a purchase on the Organic Style site, your earn eco-points (1 point for each dollar spent). For every 10 points your earn, you can use them for $1 off a future purchase. Upon reaching a few hundreds points, you can also redeem your eco-points for free flower bouquets to help brighten your (or someone else’s) day.<\/p>\n
