Just cut the card in half, and glue onto recycled paper with a personal message around the border...be sure to use recycled envelopes!!

They last much longer and use less energy. If you take your old strands of lights to Home Depot, they will give you $3 off a new strands of LED lights.

No more stuff at all. Why not give second hand so we don't have to create anything new, not to mention all the packaging that comes with it? Kids don't expect that gifts need to be new, they learn that from us. Se Swap toys with friends, try garage sales, Craiglist, or Value Village. You'll pay pennies on the dollar for what this stuff would cost you new - saving you tonnes of money, not to mention the planet. I just finished my Christmas shopping for <$80/child, and I assure you, my kids will think that they've died and gone to heaven - with a fraction of the environmental impact.

Cooking classes, photography lessons, a massage at an eco friendly spa, a set of yoga classes, the list goes on! It save on packaging/shipping plus its a gift that will provide the receiver with memories and possibly some new skills along the way. Priceless!
