Day 27 Of Stocking Stuffers
Hi Everyone! If you saw me out and about San Jose, you would think that I was a mad woman. I fell about a day behind in decorating the home for Christmas. That put me a couple days behind of telling you about neat stocking stuffers that I have found.
Can you put a tree and flowers into a stocking? I think I’ve found a way. Planting a tree and Grow A Note cards are a great gift for everyone especially those who love being green. Shouldn’t we all be a little green?
Here’s what you do. Make a $5 donation to The IVillage Forest, which really goes to The Conservation Fund. Then take a Grow A Note and write down that you planted a tree in their name.
The cool thing about donating to The IVillage Forest and using a Grow A Note is that both help the environment. The note card has seeds that the gift receiver can plant in the spring. If your friend or family member is big on gardens then you could add some extra seeds or gardening tools to the stocking stuffer to make it extra special.
Any note cards that you don’t use before spring can be planted in your own earthy garden.
Well I could tell you about a lot of other neat stocking stuffers but I’ll wait. It wouldn’t be 30 days of stocking stuffers if I didn’t. Plus I need to see if I can sneak a peak in my own stocking. It looks like Hubby is already filling it and it’s not even December yet.

Hi Catherine,
It’s me Mary MacIntyre from http://www.about-albuquerquenm.com and I stopped by to say I love your blogs! Glad that you are thinking green we need all the help we can get.
Did you know that many Christmas tree lots will give away tree cuttings which are great for making decorations? One year I took small leftovers and with string and a little ribbon made small green bouquets. They also served as great air freshners for quite some time. Simple, fast and appreciated.
Mary
