Bamboo Cutting Board or Salad Bowls
Bamboo wins twice - it's an incredibly sustainable wood and it's a perfect wood for the kitchen because it is much harder
than the rock maple you usually find used. (In fact, professional chefs prefer bamboo.) So your recipient will appreciate
this gift both for its usefulness and its environmental friendliness!

Gaiam's best-selling robe is a winner. Is it because it's made of 100% organically grown cotton terry? Or is it because of
its wonderfully indulgent feel? We say it's both! Available in natural and low eco-impact-dyed sage.
