Holiday shopping is tough; nobody is going to argue that. There's the stress of remembering everyone you want to buy gifts for, sticking to a budget (or at least the idea of a budget), and then finding the presents themselves. This already intense shopping experience can be made even more challenging when someone on your list has an environmental focus; not only do you have to think about what they will want, you have to keep in mind what they won't.

Looking for green gifts especially can leave you feeling more like the Grinch than an environmental advocate. Relax: we've got a great list of green gifts for the environmentally conscious on your shopping list. Best of all? They won't break the bank.
