If you’re going to be eating Thanksgiving dinner away from home–maybe at a family member or friend’s house–it can be a little tricky figuring out whether or not to bring a gift, and if so, what to bring. In many cases, they’ll have the all those delectable dinner items covered (who really wants cold mashed potatoes that have made the trip from your place anyway?) and a pumpkin pie coming from just about every other guest.

This year instead of showing up with another element to add to the already overwhelming array of Thanksgiving dinner dishes, why not try giving something to your hosts that they can enjoy on the days that follow? We like the organic Fruit & Cheese Sampler Gift Box from Fresh Fruit Baskets, which contains three organic apples and three organic pears, three ounces of tomato basil cheddar cheese and three ounces of green onion cheddar cheese and one box of Bisca organic water crackers; basically, it’s stuffed full of organically-grown goods and delicious flavors that have nothing to do with turkey, which is a good thing on the fourth day of leftovers.

Get out your semi-formal summer attire, your romantic side and your wallet: it’s once again wedding season. This year, however, you can bring green into even the whitest wedding by foregoing the registry and picking an original gift that’s good for the environment.

While the bride and groom are inundated with soup spoons and toasters, why not give them something to help them unwind from the big day and toast not their bread, but their union. The Ceago Opulent Vintner’s Collection opens to reveal two wines (red and white, for either taste), assorted roasted nuts, fresh fruits and chocolate caramel pecan clusters — all of which are organic. Plus a bottle of biodynamic, cold-pressed olive oil to get things cooking back at home. We recommend reading up on Organic Style’s website to find out more about the benefits of biodynamic agriculture. Click here to read more
