Hello there! I found this excellent website that has great green gift ideas that are perfect for the holidays!! The site also has great home improvement items as well. Check it out! Here are two items that I purchased..have a nice holiday!
BoGoFlashlight
This solar powered flashlight yields 5 hours of light after 8 hours of solar exposure.
For each light sold, they donate a second identical light to a non-profit for free
distribution in the developing world. You may struggle with getting the holiday lights up
on your house, but everyone needs a good flashlight, especially a family that needs some
light beyond an emergency. The total cost to get one and give one is just $25. Visit

One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)
The XO consumes less power than any other laptop, and is built to last longer than the
average 3-year computer. The computers come with a web browser, a writing pad, an
integrated video camera, and wireless Internet, and there are a variety of options for
powering the device, from solar power to a hand crank! For each one you buy for yourself
(or your child) a second one automatically is donated to a child in a developing nation.
The total cost to get one and give one is just $399, and $200 is tax-deductible. Visit
