It's that time of year again where we start to think about gift giving for loved ones. The down side of this is that it can often lead to unnecessary waste and harm to the environment. The best way to avoid this is to focus on thoughtfulness when present buying and eco-friendly businesses. I have put together a list of my top picks for this year when it comes to eco-friendly Christmas presents. Enjoy!
