" Available at: See list that follows What I think: Just finished reading about a woman who wanted her family to have a green, green Xmas by only giving green, green gifts. It got me thinking about those on my list who would really appreciate a green gift, but I was surprised to find how expensive many eco-friendly gifts are!  But I did turn up some really nice and interesting items that are affordable and would, I think, make great gifts. Here are just a couple:  A knitting needle bracelet, for example, from www.reallynatural.com. It&amp;#039;s made by an Australian artist/designer from recycled knitting needles. Pretty and only $25.  www.ecoist.com had some interesting one-of-a-kind wallets ($32) and handbags made from recycled movie billboards. Any movie buff would appreciate one of these gifts.  www.pureartisan.com had some really affordable and interesting items, including wooden mobiles ($14-$16) and clothes racks ($18) for kids rooms, and some really lovely fused glass hairclips for only $8. I was particularly enchanted by some glass earrings (#C474020) for $15  There are some great sites out there like www.Sierraclub.com that have wonderful ideas and ways to give green. Or, you can be like my friend Joan who doesn&amp;#039;t buy green, but uses newspaper to wrap her Christmas gifts. It&amp;#039;s her way of &amp;quot;doing her part.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
