Happy December! It’s been a little quiet around here, but I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving and are enjoying all the holiday preparations. We’ve lit our (organic, real) Christmas tree and visited New York, now we’re counting down the days to Hanukkah and Christmas. Phew. As we get down to gift-giving business, I have a little holiday gift for you. Read on for the giveaway instructions.
I always have great intentions to make hand-made holiday treats, only to run out of time and have to buy something in a rush. Instead of combing the local mass retailer for something semi-natural (please tell me I’m not the only one who can’t even buy a tiny bottle of hand lotion without reading the ingredient list?), Equal Exchange offers the perfect fair-trade gift baskets for anyone on your list — gifts the recipient will love and that you can feel good about. (Think daycare teachers, the milkman, the boss, etc.)
Equal Exchange’s Fair Trade Mixer Gift Basket, for example, includes a variety of coffee, chocolates and nuts in a fairly traded kaisa grass basket imported by Ten Thousand Villages from Dhaka Handicrafts, a non-profit that works to improve the lives of children and rural families in Bangladesh. The gift basket is on sale for $47 until December 15th. Also find other fair trade gifts that support small-scale farmers, ranging from $27-$75. Order online and get 10% of your order and receive free shipping on orders over $75. Use coupon code: giftme10 during checkout. Coupon expires 12/31/09. Visit www.equalexchange.coop today to order!
And here’s my gift to you, courtesy of Equal Exchange. One lucky reader will receive a FREE Fair Trade Mixer Gift Basket.* Just leave a comment below sharing your favorite holiday treat to give or receive, by midnight (Eastern time), Sunday, December 13. A winner will be selected randomly on December 14. One entry per person, please, and please help spread the holiday cheer by telling a friend! Please enter a valid email address when commenting (it will not be posted) so that I can contact you if you win.
The Fair Trade Mixer Gift Basket includes:
• Organic French Roast Coffee – 10oz, drip grind
• Organic Hot Cocoa Mix – 12oz
• Organic Very Dark Chocolate – 3.5oz bar
• Organic Dark Chocolate with Almonds – 3.5oz bar
• Organic Milk Chocolate with a Hint of Hazelnut – 3.5oz bar
• Organic Tamari Roasted Almonds – 5oz

I started out making small bundles of homemade cookies … well, that has blossomed into full-blown cookie baskets. It’s become a tradition that I love doing. This year I’m up to 6 types of cookies, 2 types of fudge and 10 recipients. Baking is key to getting me in the holiday spirit.

I found a unique gift that people are so excited about. Its a kids cookbook with pockets in it to put pictures of kids cooking. I gave it to my cousins, my neighbor and brought it to a party for a pollyanna gift exchange (hey it wasn’t a candle and everyone was thrilled) You can see it at picturemecooking.com

Little Pals leads the way in children’s gardening with garden tools including a child’s watering can, spade, lawn rake, forks and trowels as well as gloves, garden kits, tool sets and much more.It can be very difficult to provide the nutrition they need due to an increased sensitivity to taste, smell, texture and even color!Full Tank veggie enriched kid favorites offers a solution for these kiddos as well.

Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was
wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues
with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
