Green Holiday Giveaway #10: Design with Benefits Gift Card

December 6, 2013 0

I have a really good giveaway for you again this morning. It’s sponsored by Design with Benefits, they are offering up a generous $50 gift certificate!

Of course if you win, you can choose to pick out anything from the wonderful collection of pieces offered by Design with Benefits. However, if it were me I would pick up some the following:

1. Wood Tie $39.99
I love these wood ties made from the best reclaimed Redwood, sourced from old barns and bridges all over Northern California. The ties are super light weight, allowing you to wear one all day and all night. The segments are held together by an elastic cord, giving you ultimate flexibility and comfort. Cords can be adjusted to suit your collar size. So fun!

2. Themis Mobile $37
Whether you have a child in your home or not, this delicate, geometric décor piece composed of five faceted ornaments, each with its own distinct palette of color: fluorescent neons, purples and browns. As designer Clara von Zweigbergk will add a little whimsy to your home.

3. Wood Six Pack $41.99
The Mister is a huge fan of craft beers – I think it would be so fun to surprise him with a wood six pack full of some of his favorites! It’s made from reclaimed Redwood from the Bay Area. This would also make a great gift to tote some of your favorite beers to that upcoming holiday party! 

4. Tall Enough $14.99
Tall Enough is a folk tale of a South African boy, Tshepo, who wishes to be tall like the trees. After planting his feet in the ground, and watering himself, he finally gets his wish and turns into a tall tree. Soon Tshepo realizes that being a tree is no fun, and with the help of a bird learns one of life’s most crucial lessons, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. And the illustrations are amazing!

5. BirdProject Soap $24
Looking for the perfect gift for that someone who has everything – look no further than BirdProject Soap. This adorable, all natural, vegan black soap is Fair Trade. The best part – there is a smaller white ceramic bird hiding inside! It’s meant to remind you of the lasting effecting of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill and half of all sale proceeds go to the Gulf Restoration Network and International Bird Rescue for the environmental cleanup and care of animals affected.

6. Balletic Spin Earrings $46

In 1994, a portion of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Unitarian Meeting House in Madison, Wisconsin was being re-roofed, and the copper sheets trucked off for scrap. That was when designer Scott Lesh decided to purchase large quantities of the material to create sculptural works, as well as a line of limited edition jewelry. Each piece is made from portions of the historic roof, sterling silver, and freshwater pearls.

Design with Benefits offers a curated collection of products with social and environmental benefits in mind. A percentage of all of their net profits goes toward creative projects using design to solve social problems.

The prize package includes a Chicco reusable messenger bag full of Stonyfield fun: a Stonyfield cookbook, a YoKids cape, Stonyfield reusable water bottle, preserve reusable yogurt cup, and coupons for some of your favorite Stonyfield goodies!

We have been long-time fans of Stonyfield and our fridge is always packed with their organic yogurts, milk and frozen yogurt too! We recently made our favorite holiday coffee cake and replaced the sour cream with Greek yogurt – it was amazing and saved us a ton of calories and fat!

Every morning, Eben starts his day with Stonyfield yogurt – right now, he is completely obsessed with Banilla. He loves it – says that it tastes just like pudding for breakfast!

Eben and I have a little love affair with the Vanilla Fudge Swirl frozen yogurt – yep, that’s right, Stonyfield offers frozen yogurt! Uh-mazing!

Stonyfield obsesses over everything they put into our delicious organic yogurt, milk, frozen yogurt and smoothies, and everything they keep out. By saying no to toxic persistent pesticides, artificial hormones, antibiotics and GMOs, Stonyfield says yes to healthy organic food. With a huge variety of smooth-and-creamy, fruit-on-the-bottom and blended yogurts, there is something delicious for everyone. Fans of thick and creamy Greek yogurt love Stonyfield Organic Greek Yogurt. And YoBaby, YoToddler and YoKids have the nutrition parents want and a taste little ones love.

Green Holiday Giveaway #6: FLOR Eco-Friendly 5×7 Carpet Squares Rug

December 4, 2013 0

Today’s next giveaway is amazing – FLOR is generously offering a 5×7 eco-friendly area rug of your choice right in time for the holidays. Hooray!

I am obsessed with FLOR carpet squares because they are versatile, eco-friendly and super simple to install. And if by chance one gets a stubborn stain or your Pug or Frenchie decides to chew on it – you can replace the single square, and you are left with a new rug!

We have worked with FLOR before and used our carpet squares to make smaller rugs that we use in our kitchen and bathrooms. One of my favorite parts are they don’t slip and slide around when placed on tile or hardwood and they are super sturdy, easy to maintain and always look good!

We recently partnered with Flor to update our family room – we choose the Vintage Vibe-Cream carpet tiles to give our family room a sophisticated update. The Vintage Vibe tiles have a traditional Moroccan Beni Ouarain – diamond shaped “star-burst” design with subtle irregularities that honor the characteristics of ancient weaving techniques. We are super happy with the results and love that the size is totally customizable since our family room is longer than it is wide! (Watch for this makeover post in the New Year)

If you are looking for a great way to update a room, add a little coziness or a pop of color – check out FLOR carpet squares. You will be super happy with the finished look and feel – and it’s sustainable too!

Visit FLOR and enter the giveaway below – winner will be announced on December 11th.
