Here are some fun gift ideas for the holiday season. I tried to include a mix of item based on a few criteria: Some items I chose because they are unique and different (like a cardboard antler head or a gadget that makes guitar picks out of old credit cards). I tried to include some handmade and fair-trade items (like handmade ceramics and fair-trade chocolate) and some eco-friendly items (like re-usable shopping bags and artsy dish towels). I also included some things that I use every day (especially tech items) and a variety of children’s items that are either educational or that promote active or pretend play, as well as some fun activities for the whole family (like these free paper craft downloads or a monthly box of family activities). In my next post, I will outline gift ideas where your dollars are used to give back. Hopefully these can give you some new ideas and resources for gift-giving this season.
