Sustainable Gift Ideas

October 18, 2012 by Allison 2 Comments

sustainable material gifts - soapstone picture frames from Canvas Home Store via AtticmagA collection of sustainable material gifts offer a quick start to the season of giving.

One of my goals over the next few weeks is to inspire those who wait until the last minute (you know who you are!) to start shopping early this year.  Why not be finished before Thanksgiving?!  Okay, so maybe that’s pushing it but at least make a dent in the list before the rush. And I’d like to focus on sustainable material gifts.  Soapstone has been a popular surface material in the kitchen for awhile, and these natural soapstone picture frames are just as elegant. Each piece is hand carved by an Indian artisan cooperative using traditional hand tools. Elegant yet masculine, old world or modern, they’ll look great anywhere.

sustainable material gifits - luxurious premium weight 100% baby alpaca throws with blanket stitch edge - Canvas Home Store via AtticmagThese luxurious throws are hand-loomed using premium weight 100% baby alpaca.  Generously sized, the contrasting blanket stitch edge adds a unique touch.

sustainable material gifts - handmade blue and white glaze dinnerware from Canvas Home Store via AtticmagWhimsical blue designs are sponged onto white glazed plates.  The hand poured terra-cotta dinnerware is made is Portugal specifically for Canvas Home.  Their online store features natural materials with interesting textures. It provides a trip around the globe without the jet lag.
