Gift Guide: Eco Friendly and Tech Savvy

12/03/13 | C. Wonder, Gift Guide, Holiday Gift Guide, Rume

In case my best friend gift guide yesterday did not offer everything you were looking for today I have put together two gift guides based on the interests of that that person. The first is for those who are echo conscious or very green and the second is for the guy or girl on your list who is a tech fanatic and always needs to have the coolest thing.  Please enjoy!

Sparkles and Shoes Gift Guide Echo Friendly
Smart Planet Porcelain Eco Cup Set / Organic Cotton Pajamas 
Eco Tools Kabuki Brush  / Chardonnay and Riesling Candle
Zig Zag Lamp  /  Mist Screen Cleaner  / Mint Indoor Garden
Wood Earbuds  / Bamboo Dry Erase Board / Eco Friendly Storage Cubes

Eco-friendly or green gifts tend to fall under the misnomer of being very expensive but this year I have gifts for those on your list that are more obtainable.  For under $25 you can get that very green friend a three pack of reusable coffee cups, any beauty brushes by Eco Tools (thsi Kabuki brush is my favorite), these mist cleaner, a mint garden, and this dry-erase bamboo board.  The next price range up, under $50, offers you these amazing, reused chardonnay and riesling candles, maple wood earbuds, and assorted echo friendly storage cubes. For those you have no budget for, Oprah and I agree, these organic pajamas are absolutely amazing,  as is this very intriguing Zig-Zag Lamp.

Next up, you must have that techie person on your list.  For me, these friends and family members are always the hardest to buy for, especially when you do not necessarily fit into this category and would prefer preppy any day of the week. Here are ten great products for that person on your list:

Sparkles and Shoes Gift Guide Tech Savvy
Navy LED Baseball Cap / TrackDot Luggage /  Google Chromecast
ID Decals Animal Collection and Downing  / Zoom Lens and Tripod for iPod 
C. Wonder Silicone Bluetooth Keyboard  / Unikey Deadbolt
Quirky Converge Docking Station  / Roku Streaming Player / Timbuk2 Messenager Bag

This was definitely the hardest guide to put together but now, I want to buy half of these things for those on my list I am sure would appreciate them.   For under $25 these RuMe ID Decals in either the animal or downing collection or this LED hat. Next up, you can get the Chromecast, zoom lens and tripod, docking station, or the Roku streaming player for under $50.   The next price range, the under $75 will afford you the C. Wonder Keyboard or the Trackdot Luggage tagger would be perfect gifts.  Last up, the Commute Laptop Messenger Bag and the Kwikset Single Cylinder Bluetooth Enabled Deadbolt are the pricest items but I am sure they would be very much appreciated!

Would any of these 20 gifts be perfect for someone on your list?
