FOR YOUR ORGANIC LOVING FRIEND…by Christabelle
Sometimes it is challenging to find just the right eco-friendly gift for everyone on your list. This year I had no problem finding the PERFECT presents with the help of Pangea Organics. This year, the good folks over at Pangea Organics created Holiday Gift Sets for every budget that are not only aromatic and oh-so soothing, but offer a surprise within the gift itself. Just when you think you’ve gifted a lovely box of top-of-the-line organic body and skincare products—there is more…you’ve also given the gift of giving back to the earth by way of a spruce tree. Inside the fibers of this (100% compostable, biodegradable, and plantable!) gift box, there’s a Christmas tree just waiting to be planted. There are three gift boxes available and range in price from $30-$40. You can skip the wrapping paper this season, save a tree, and give the gift of less waste.
