Gift even more rapt

Additions to Grist’s gift guide 3

You can't have too much of a good thing. This became apparent after the publication of the Grist Gift Rapt gift guide, when eager readers began inundating us with further suggestions for gifts. Hence I, one half of the brilliant Sarahs who brought you the gift guide, have taken it upon myself (at the urging of my editor, whose advice I have love to follow) to offer up more gift ideas. Because really, you can't have too many gifts! (Calm yourself, hypersensitive non-consumers, it's a joke.)

Eager reader Brad suggests International Snow Leopard Trust. ISLT is also Seattle-based, and we heart all things local.

Eager reader Susan suggests Heifer International. Surely your peeps would rather have a water buffalo given in their name than be given an actual water buffalo.

Eager reader Kent suggests Boll Organic. Organic cotton men's dress shirts, wOot!

Eager reader Becky suggests Ithaca's Gorges, an organic-chocolate company that gives a portion of proceeds to sustain land in the Finger Lakes area. Insert funny "giving them the finger" joke here.

What else, eager readers? Our gift guide, while astoundingly good, was by no means comprehensive. What eco-gifts are you getting your loved ones this season? Heck, we'll even take suggestions on what to get our hated ones. We're open to anything. Comment away!

    Waste-free Gift Wrap!Did you know that an extra million tons of trash is thrown away each week from Thanksgiving to New Years? My guess is that a lot of that trash is disposable gift wrap-yikes!

    In order to give people a simple and eco-savvy alternative to throw away gift wrap, I started a business selling reusable fabric gift bags made from retro, vintage-replica and other stylish prints. They are designed to be reused, recycled and regifted for years to come.
    They are available for purchase at http://www.luckycrow.com.
    Let's hear it for waste-free gift wrap!!

    Great green gift ideasI found a great site for those looking for some green holiday gift ideas. I just bought a cool funky vase and dish set made from recycled glass for my mom for Christmas. This site has a lot of cool stuff like solar iPod chargers to 3D wallpaper.. seems very professional and user friendly. Just thought I'd help out my fellow green beans. Don't wait for the last minute;) I did that last year:(
