It’s that time of year again—when department stores are filled to capacity with stressed-out shoppers willing to knock anyone over on the quest to the sale rack, and war wages between “Season’s Greetings” and “Merry Christmas.” This year, do yourself a favor and avoid the mall when it comes to your shopping needs. We’ve searched high and low across the vast wilderness known as the Internet to find the best of the best (consider it an early Christmas present).
We’ve carefully selected every item on this list to ensure there’s an assortment of items fitting a wide spectrum of categories and price ranges. In addition to the eco-friendliness of most items on the list, you’ll find that many are also wallet-friendly—in fact, more than half the items are less than $20 (a definite plus when there are several people on your list).
This year, just say “no” to tinny, instrumental Christmas music pumped through overcrowded malls, and instead peruse the gifts we’ve hand-picked for our 2010 RELEVANT Gift Guide (you know—because we care). From the sustainably made and the opportunity-giving, to the who-knew-that-existed and the just-because-it’s-awesome, you’ll find something for everyone on this handy site. With most of the products, your purchase helps the person who made the item. Now that’s a gift that keeps on giving.
