Recycled Light Bulb Ornament
Deck your tree with hand-painted, recycled light bulb ornaments from 3R Living. Each ornament is one of a kind, so Santa won't get déjà vu.
Felt Bird Ornaments
Make your tree sing with Recycled Felt Bird Ornaments made from 100% eco-certified felted wool. The birds are available at Branch, a great source for unique and beautiful 'sustainable design for living.'
Reclaimed Wood & Tin Birdhouse Ornaments
Give your felt birds a place to perch. Smith and Hawken's Birdhouse Ornaments are made from the discarded wood and tin of torn-down homes. With walls crafted from old banisters and a roof from tin ceiling tiles, you'll give each bird a mini eco-mansion.
Natural Animal Ornament Set
Smith and Hawken's country animal ornaments will look adorable on any tree, wreath or mantelpiece. The cardinal, rabbit, bluebird, hedgehog, fox and squirrel are all handcrafted with organic dyes and the fibers of Buri sugar palms.
Gaiam Earth Ornament
Minnesota artist Linda Stewart hand paints these beautiful Earth Ornaments with water-based colors and a nontoxic clear finish. Available exclusively through Gaiam, each ornament arrives in a kraft box, bringing joy to your tree.
LED Reindeer Holiday Sign
Traditional holiday light decorations bring joy over the holiday season, but wasted energy and high electricity bills are less than cheerful. This year, make the switch to save energy and money with energy-efficient LED decorations like this LED Reindeer from Gaiam. Not only is this little guy super-cute, but your wallet and the planet will say thank you.
Snowflake Winter Wreath
Let it snow! Organic Style's Snowflake Wreath is made from fresh organic shore pine from the Pacific Northwest. Accented with classic Douglas fir pinecones, the wreath is fragrant and festive.
Festive Sweater Wreath
Hand-sewn from sweater remnants, Vivaterra's wreath reinvents traditional seasonal decorations. Reducing landfill waste, the puffy wreath sports a cleverly rendered poinsettia, a truly festive flower.
