The holidays are fast approaching and though I don't love the consumerism pushed onto society, especially when we need to be REDUCING and REUSING rather than buying (and creating more demand) for items we don't need... There are many people (myself included!) who love to give and receive gifts.

So, rather than going to a local Wal-Mart or hopping onto Amazon, I've put together a list of products and businesses that I recommend. These are made or offered by real people with love and intention.
