Currently they are doing a Direct Trade, French Press, and the Passport line which is self chosen coffee by the roaster him/herself.

Here's an idea, when everyone takes their lights off the tree after Christmas, instead of packing them away simply nail some crown moulding around your living room run a power cord and use those LED lights year round saving money and electricity till next year when you can reuse them and don't have to worry about untangling them or losing bulbs. The indirect lighting gives a warm glow to any room, does not generate heat and uses virtually no power, thus is a year-round gift to everyone. Plus, you'll love the way it classes up you home!!!

My office uses GiftZip (www.giftzip.com). We are all connected by email anyways so sending email gift cards to random stores is a ton of fun. How much greener can you get than not having to go to the store, not having to wrap/ship something, and not even having a stupid plastic card to throw away at the end?

I just purchased a few holiday gifts from Electric City Roasting - http://www.electriccityroasting.com. They have amazing direct trade coffee, and some really neat coffee subscriptions. Currently they are doing a Direct Trade, French Press, and the Passport line which is self chosen coffee by the roaster him/herself.

I am really excited to give these this year.

I can personally vouch for the delicious ginger cookies. Buy a whole box.
