Think about it: how many of the gifts you’ve been given over the years do you still have? If you’re anything like us, it’s probably a pretty small percentage. Clothing goes out of style, electronics become obsolete, or we just grow tired of things – things that ultimately end up in landfills.
With so many gift-giving occasions every year, it can be a struggle to find a present that will be meaningful, useful, and lasting. Organic Style’s Heirloom Apple Tree To Be is all of these things. Each kit contains everything needed to grow a Ralls Janet apple tree, including seeds, seeding pot, potting soil, and reference guide. The Heirloom Apple Tree To Be even comes with an aluminum tag meant to be inscribed and attached to your tree once it’s grown. Click here to read more
Ever wondered what happens to that leftover rubber after the shape of your flip flop is stamped in it? VivaTerra’s come up with an ingenious, eye-catching way to recycle the leftovers – so eye-catching, in fact, that this Flip Flop Door Mat was featured on Project Runway.
Since they’re made of rubber, they’re durable and weatherproof – you can dirty them up, hose them down, and continue to enjoy the bright, colorful patterns unique to each rug. Organic Style’s also got a similar one!

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
