If I can shop online without ever getting off my butt, I'm in. I really love the A Thousand Villages idea, definitely checking that one out.

For other gift ideas... If you knit or crochet I encourage you to use yarns from Manos Del Uruguay for your holiday projects. These yarns are wool, hand-spun and kettle-dyed by a women's cooperative in Uruguay that is part of the World Fair Trade Organization (http://www.wfto.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=889&Itemid=290) Check to see if your yarn store sells Manos Del Uruguay. You'll be supporting a valuable organization and it's a great yarn to knit with. It's what I use for my knitted items on my Etsy shop (link is on my blog site as well as the vermcomposting bags I designed and make - another eco-gift idea) This is a timely article.

It's the gift that keeps on giving and will never take up space in a landfill.
