[Check out these links for green gift guides for Angelenos, guys, gals, kids & babies, or green LA girl. Gift baskets and non-consumer gifts here :)]
I’m only givin’ you two different orgs that’re offering gift baskets — cuz really, these 2 have so many gift baskets that there’s something for everyone :)
The Garment Worker Center in LA’s offeringa buncha fair trade, anti-sweatshop gift packages this season, including:
* Bath Pamper Kit
* Hot & Spicy Cooking
* Start The Day in a Gourmet Way
* Kid Special Basket
* Stress Recovery
* Starving Artist Care Package
What might a package include? The Starving Artist Care package has a relaxing incense set, soup mixes from the Women’s Bean Project, and recycled paper journals from Mr. Elli Pooh, which I wrote ’bout here.
Global Exchange offers even more baskets. There’s the expected, like a basket for the sweetheart, mom, dad, baby, kids, or teen, for the Coffee, Tea, Chocolate, gourmet, or snack lover, or for the fair trade conscious. But GX offers a lotta unexpected baskets:
* Holiday, Illumination, and Peace on Earth
* Event: Wedding Day, Housewarming, Get Well, Bon Voyage, Birthday, Graduation
* Work: Star Employee or Office Gang
* Other: Jungle Fun, Women Around the World, Harvest Gift Basket, Bath & Beauty
A sample: The Get Well gift basket includes fair trade, organic hot cocoa, chocolate bar, and tea, plus a hand-crafted kaisa grass basket and mug, an eye pillow.
Happy Holidays to the basket cases :)



the fair trade store in my town has some gift baskets, or more common: compose your own, choose a basket and fill it with whatever goodies you prefer. they wrap it for you.
