I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas!

The season of good-will can extend to the planet, here’s my eco-friendly Christmas gift guide.
My thoughts are turning to Christmas (well a few of them! I don’t like thinking about it too early but I don’t like a full-on PANIC!!) so I figured some of you would be thinking about it too.
