So, you're trying to tread a little more lightly on the land. You recycle all your plastic bottles and soda cans. You drive a hybrid car. You even power your cell phone with a solar cell. Good for you! But for the Holidays, you can't go back on all the good work you've done by gifting others with the same old stuff that tromps all over the environment. You can give green, and thankfully, giving green doesn't mean you have to fork over a wad of cash, and neither does it mean it has to be ugly hemp sandals. Styledash has seven ways (+1) for you to give the gift of green this season.

Sunday - Every year, you give Dad something classy for his liquor cabinet. Instead of another bottle of Glenlivet 25, why not try a bottle of Square One Vodka. It'll make a sophisticated martini a la James Bond, but is a double agent because it's organic.

Monday - Mom, like you, is a Beauty Queen, so give her "clean" products to clean her hair. Simply Organic makes shampoos and conditioners that are good for her hair, and good for the air. And it's not like you're getting her Pert from the drugstore. These are luxuries at $60.

These bags by Haul are super cool because not only are they stylish one-of-a-kind designs, but the bags are also eco-aware. They're called "billboard bags" because they are made from PVC vinyl billboards that have been recycled into bags. The bags are lined with a second layer of billboard to make them sturdy enough to protect your laptop, and are coated with some sort of UV protectant. Because they are made from actual billboards, they have small scuffs, fades, wrinkles, and no two bags look the same. They cost $195 AUD, which is about $146 US.
