Merry Chrismahanakwansakah 2011
With the holidays upon us (Merry Chrismahanakwansakah everyone!), many people are stopping in the shop asking for gift suggestions. And though we know the holidays are more than the sum of the booty you get under the tree, menorah or kinara, we thought it would be helpful to share our Green Gift Tips (from our family – of Fobots, above – to yours).
When you stop in the shop, we’re happy to help you make a selection or you can grab a handy “Wish List” for the ladies, fellas, tweens or wee ones in your life… We’ve reprinted a few of our favorites below. Needless to say, you can pick them up at Green in BKLYN. Oh, & we can gift wrap them, if you’d like!
