Fashion for Her - Green Holiday Gift Guide 2009

Treat a special lady to clothes and accessories made from organic cotton, vegan velvet, recycled fleece, and bamboo fibers.

Organica Deluxe’s Weekend Scarf $59 Why it's green: The Weekend Scarf from Organica Deluxe is hand-woven from cruelty-free Indian silk. Proceeds from each one provides two week’s worth of resources for a tribal family. Recommended by: TreeHugger
Indigenous Designs’ Flutter Cardigan $64 Why it's green: This beautiful, soft, and lightweight cardigan is made of organic cotton and Tencil. It’s also fair-trade made and socially responsible. Recommended by: Green Picks

Sterling Silver Stackable Rings $20 Why it's green: Three, stackable rings that look good and feel good because they're made by Bali artisans who are paid fairly. The artists are paid 50-percent upfront, so they don't have to go into debt. Neither do you, at this reasonable price. Recommended by: Green Picks
Telephone Wire Bracelet $26 Why it's green: Stylish bracelets are hand-woven from colorful telephone wire. Made by Zulu women who use traditional basket-weaving skills to support themselves and their families. Recommended by: Green Picks

Keds’ Savanna Velvet Slip-On $60 Why it's green: These fashion-forward Keds feature organic cotton velvet uppers. Nontoxic inks and dies are used to create the rich colors. Soles are made from 20-percent recycled rubber to help reduce waste. Recommended by: Green Picks
Tarte’s Crown Jewels Lipgloss $39 Why it's green: Free of parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, fragrances, and sulfates, these 15 mini-glosses come in shades that range from pale pinks to deep reds and neutral browns. They are packaged in three sets of five, perfect for stocking stuffers. Recommended by: TreeHugger

Priti Nail Polish $13 Why it's green: This bold and beautiful nontoxic polish line is free of toluene, DBP, formaldehyde, and petroleum. There are plenty of colors to choose from, and the high-gloss polish dries fast and doesn’t chip easily. Recommended by: Green Picks
Paris Presents EcoTools $13 Why it's green: These makeup brushes feature bamboo handles and non-animal hair bristles. Buy individual brushes or a set. Recommended by: Green Picks

Rawa Bamboo Sunglasses $180 Why it's green: These bamboo shades protect the wearer’s eyes, plus with each purchase, the company will pay for a sight-restoring surgery in the developing world. Artisans on the island of Rawa, in the South China Sea, handcraft these sunglasses. Recommended by: The Daily Green
Recycled Subway Token Bracelet $100 Why it's green: This bracelet is literally a token of the past. Designer Ward Wallau spent 11 years petitioning New York City Transit for permission to use the cutout subway tokens. He was approved for exclusive licensing to use the tokens in his jewelry line.
