Green Holiday Gift Guide – Warm & Cozy Trends

Written by Urban Sherp on December 6th, 2010

Ahhh, the holidays. We are probably in that small bucket of people who love holiday shopping. Searching for just the right gift that says ‘I’ve been thinking of you.’ Here are some eco-friendly, sustainable or locally made gifts that are high on our list for gift giving (and receiving!) to keep friends and family warm & cozy this year:


Downeaster Sport Wool Plaid Bag from L.L. Bean – $54 -$85
Plaids, tartans and checks are all the rage this season, and this throw back L.L. Bean duffle is a modern classic. It’s L.L. Bean, so you know it’s rugged and built to last and who couldn’t use a hip duffle? Choose from plaid, tweed or canvas.
Soft Stone Pouf from Vivaterra – $239
Another trend this holiday season – poufs and all things felt. They scream of warmth, coziness and handcrafted art. And what better than to have two in one with this completely one of a kind pouf? See also their Felted Wool Stones and Felted Stone Rug – very cool.
ooh la la pillow by alexandraferguson – $89
Yes, more felt, cause we love it! And we love pillows. This one is made from a really high quality, super soft, 100 percent recycled felt made from post consumer recycled water bottles. The red felt is made from 50% recycled and 50% acrylic. Made in Toronto
Pendleton Crater Lake National Park Blanket by Pendleton – $178 $129.30
Pendleton, another tried and true brand has been seeing quite the resurgence. We love these distinctive blankets created in the early 1900′s to honor US National Parks. Woven in their mill in Oregon from 100% pure virgin wool, each blanket features a special woven label with the park name and iconic image.
See also Acadia National Park Blanket, Glacier National Park Blanket and Yosemite National Parks
Azuri Picnic Shawl from Nimli – $200 $49
We love a scarf that can be worn year round and these lightweight scarves made of silk and pashmina are perfect. Soft and incredibly versatile, they can be worn as a scarf, a shawl or a wrap. Available in all sorts of colors and patterns including Electric, Fleur and Red Hot . And right now get 10% off all Azuri Scarves with coupon code AZURI10.
