It’s true that in a lot of cases, Organic can be more expensive; but if you shop smart – it doesn’t need to be. And let’s not forget, it’s the thought and love that really counts when giving a gift and you can’t put a price on that!
Here are some eco-gift ideas that won't require you getting a second mortgage.
-
Potted Herbs – Organic, useful, fresh, low cost and you might even get invited over for dinner!
