This is it. The final week. Christmas is sitting just five days away and a load of folks are still scrambling for those last minute gifts on their list. All of a sudden we’re remembering to buy one more thing here and two more things there… And suddenly, we’re feeling a little overwhelmed.

Looking for that great last minute gift? You can’t go wrong with Green Label Organic, a family owned and operated tee-shirt business based out of Virginia. We love them and know you will too – and so will any gift receiver on your list.

Everyone knows that the true spirit of Christmas can be lost in the capitalist pursuit of acquiring more “stuff.” This “stuff” is usually unremarkable, forgettable clutter that we give just because it’s that time of the year.

To all of the moms, grandmas and pseudo-stand-in moms, we wish you a happy Mother’s Day, for being a caring, loving, fun and compassionate parent – you deserve the best.

With the arrival of May’s spring flowers and blossoms on the trees also comes the influx of flyers, advertisements, and messages all screaming at you to get the perfect gift for mom on the special day of Mothers Day.

Take a look in your room – chances are, you have a few books lying around. Now think about the rest of your house. Are there are few more? Probably. Now picture the rest of your day – are you a student? Do you go to the library? Some manuals at work?

“Cost-effective” and “eco-friendly” aren’t terms that commonly correspond with your children’s birthday party. Between invitations, party favours, food, and supplies, the costs add up – both in our bank account and the toll on the environment.

Want to give a gift that keeps on giving – er, growing? Opt for a fraction of a forest instead.
