  1. pay it forward and make a donation on someone’s behalf
  2. bake some cookies, breads, treats or cakes
  3. better yet do cookies in a jar

  5. make a scrap book of special moments or take some photos and make a collage
  6. go to your recycled center and find the perfect used gift
  7. write a poem or song
  8. make some homemade irish cream or coffee liqueur
  9. give away something you don’t need anymore
  10. buy someone a special plant
  11. give away your favorite book and sign the inside cover explaining why

What a great list Stephen! My favourite is number 3. :)

Another last minute idea is to dig up a photo of yourself and the person you’re giving the gift to and pop it in a nice photo frame.

PS I like your blog redesign. :)

Thanks Michelle. The nice thing about cookies in a jar is that you can keep em’ for ages and do cake in a jar and other variations. Photos are always a wonderful idea…the gift of a memory.

Glad you like the new blog design. A few tweaks still needed but I’m happy with it. Excited about what I’m doing with it next year – much more focused on helping the average person “go green” with monthly themes & challenges.
