Smiling Tree Toys is full of beautiful, heirloom quality, wooden treasures for children. All of which are created from sustainably harvested woods that are organically finished. Wouldn’t a Smiling Tree Toys wooden car look perfect parked under the Christmas Tree?

If I were the winner, I would pick either the Love Bug, Milk Truck or Off-Road Jeep! I love the simple, organic shapes and the fact that Smiling Tree Toys are toys that are good for your children and the environment!

Giveaway number eighteen is fantastic and right in time for the holidays! It’s sponsored by Boutique Cascades and they are offering a recycled Piccolo Christmas Tree and recycled gift wrap!

The Piccolo Christmas Tree is the perfect size to use as a centerpiece on your dining room table! You could place it on a table and stack gifts underneath for a more dramatic look! It would be a great Christmas tree for a child’s bedroom, small apartment or office. The possibilities are endless. Boutique Cascades’ Christmas Trees are beautifully designed out of 100% recycled FSC certified cardboard making them simple to assembly and easy to store after the holidays.

Boutique Cascades’ wrapping paper comes in beautiful holiday designs and is made using 100% recycled fibers, printed with water-based inks! I love the designs – the stripes, the deer, oh my! And these are the large rolls, not those dinky rolls of wrapping paper from the big-box store. If you click here and scroll all the way to the bottom, you can print out your own fabulous holiday gift wrap – as a bonus!

Jump over to Boutique Cascades and check out all of their lovely + eco, friendly holiday goodies.
