Give a little peace and eco-love this holiday season with beautiful, earth-friendly, peaceful-minded gifts.

For a peaceful foodie, the perfect gift is, what else; an olive tree! The olive tree has been a symbol of peaceful tidings for years and the Small Olive Tree Gourmet Peace Gift from Growing Gifts shares this symbol. The lucky recipient of this gift gets a small olive tree presented in a waterproof jute gift bag ready for planting. Also included in this peaceful gift is a 240ml bottle of Miller & Brown Extra Virgin Olive oil, 50g jar of Miller & Brown Olive & Tomato Dukkah, a 280g jar of Gourmet Back Olives flavored with herbs & black pepper, a 185g jar of Black Olive Paste, a ceramic Dipping Dish, a ceramic Olive Boat, and a peace pebble.

For a more subtle foodie peace treat give the yummy organic Peace Cookie Tin. Certified organic iced peace sugar cookies with lots of pretty sparkles. What could be tastier?

For some scrubby peaceful eco-fun give some bubbly fresh mint and herbal Peace Soap made with organic aloe vera juice.

Light up a friend’s season with 100% Pure Himalayan Beeswax Candles with organic flowers and a few Lotus Soapstone “palawar stone” holders. Or you could be more direct in your peaceful lighted gift efforts with this Peace Candle; a snowy white green pine and sweet peppermint soy candle in a frosted peace candle glass.

Going green for the holidays doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. Here are seven green ideas and products that will allow you to wrap up the holidays, without compromising your earth ethics.

Wrap With Eco Paper

The PS Green Choices line is lovely gift wrap printed on Eco-White, 100 per cent recycled, 30 per cent post-consumer waste, paper. It’s archival, acid-free, and absolutely beautiful.

There are plenty of holiday choices to choose from in both sheets and rolls. Moss & Blossom Retro Snowflakes are my personal favorite.

Go Natural

Plain brown recycled paper bags, newspaper, or even foil can become pieces of gift-wrapped art, with a little imagination. Gather small pine cones, acorns, branches, sturdy winter tree leaves, or fresh sprigs of organic lavender. If you have the time, you can even press flowers and then glue them to the outside of packages. Use recycled ribbons, lace or glue to attach your nature goods to your gifts.
