2012 Green Holiday Giveaway Week: #3 12 Eggling Grow Plant Kits $120

Giveaway number three is the perfect stocking stuffer and great for any gardener or chef on your holiday list! Eggling crack and grow plant kits for 12 lovely readers!

Each Eggling comes with a terracotta tray and an extra seed pack! There are ten different Egglings available;  three herbs (basil, mint and thyme), three flowers (chrysanthemum, phlox, petunia), and four special edition varieties (lavender, cactus, red pepper, and wild strawberry).

We received two Egglings – basil and thyme. I don’t know what was more fun for Eben, cracking the top and cultivating the seeds or watching the Eggling grow!

These Egglings are possible through Micro Empowering, a volunteer – based nonprofit organization that provides product, advisor services, technology, and seed funds to help low income individuals and social entrepreneurs to obtain sustainable income. For more information, you can check out their website and grab an Eggling or other fun sustainable gifts for the holiday season!

Good Luck!

How to Make a Last-Minute Holiday Activity Advent Calendar Using Recycled Envelopes

Looking to put together a super easy, festive and fun last-minute DIY Advent Calendar? My family always looks forward to the first of December because that’s when we start our holiday activity advent calendar — which helps us bond even more as a family during the holiday season.

I choose activities for the advent calendar based on traditions that we love to do during the holidays. Then, I sprinkle in a few new activities each year. For example, this year we have a surprise mini vacation at a nearby beach. You can make a simple, recycled holiday activity advent calendar using that stack of leftover envelopes you have acquired over the years. Jump over to Inhabitots to learn how to put one together tonight in a few easy steps.
