First and foremost, the first winner of my book contest is kap22. I'm still waiting to hear back from kap22 so I can send the winner Jill Lambert's A Good Catch - a book I'm sure anyone would enjoy. So, please respond to my e-mail kap22!!
Don't worry, there are still two weeks left in my book contest and two copies of A Good Catch to give away. Just sign up to receive my Green Living blog in your e-mail inbox, and you'll be eligible to win. All you have to do is click on the word e-mail under the icon at the top left side of this page (it looks like this 
). Good luck!
Now, onto my list of green gifts! Every Friday until Christmas, I'm going to recommend some green gifts you can either put on your wish list or give to a loved one.
Every year my family and our very close friends do a secret Santa gift exchange on Boxing Day, and each year it has a broad theme. This year's stipulation is that it has to have an "environmental connection" - very loosey goosey, I know. I'm not going to tell you who I have (it's a secret!), but I've decided to get my secret Santa a Bloembox Butterfly Habitat Garden. This pretty box contains a plantable seed ribbon that will eventually add a wonderful splash of colour to any garden. Plant the 15 foot biodegradable seed ribon in spring and watch them bloom into beautiful Orange Cosmos, Dahlia Flowered Zinnia, and Annual Phlox – inviting the butterflies over for a backyard party! Plus, the box is really pretty and can be reused for other things umpteen times. If your interested in checking out what else Bloembox has to offer (they also have bumblebee and hummingbird habitats), visit www.olivebarn.com.
What green gifts are you giving, or asking for, this holiday season?
