Gifts With Meaning

I received the most wonderful link sent to me today by Reduce Footprints (on Twitter as @smallftprints) which fit my perspectives on holiday gift-giving perfectly.

The link, found at everythingetsy.com, is a special post entitled 101 Green Handmade Gifts and it fits so well within my "Keep It Small Or Not At All" philosophy I wanted to share it.

There are gifts to make for men, women, children, pets, and home and all of them are pretty accessible even for the novice do-it-yourselfer.  And not only will you have many of these items already (making these great projects for recycling/repurposing), any new items you need to complete the projects could be purchased at small, local merchants!

I've actually made #15, and I make and use a recipe very similar to #1, and as a sewist with a massive stockpile of fabric (lots of it little scraps that I can't really do too much with) I'm looking forward to #99!

So many levels of "win" here... enjoy and know it's possible to exchange gifts with very little corporate "sponsorship".
