Eco Friendly Gifts for the Green Fashionista

Choosing an eco friendly gift can sometimes be a daunting task.  What makes a product considered "green," or environmentally friendly? Where can we find these green gifts?  In our search for great gifts for the environment conscious friend or family member, we've come across some great gift giving tips and green products that we thought we'd pass on.

What to look for in an Eco Friendly Gift

Recycled packaging is a
great way to spot green gifts.

There's more to eco-friendly gift giving than finding items that are recyclable.  Here are a few tips to help make your green shopping easier:

• Eco Friendly Packaging is a great way to spot green gifts.  Look for items with minimal packaging or packaging made from recycled goods.
• Gifts that are made of natural components, like sustainably harvested wood, natural fibers, or glass are sure to fit into the green category. 
• Purchase gifts  that are locally made or are sold by local vendors.  This assures you that the natural resources used for shipping the products are preserved.

Eco Friendly Gift Ideas

• For the fashion conscious, consider custom eco friendly handbags or accessories, like our very own Draw String Pouch Purse.  These green gifts are sure to be a hit as well as being considerate to the environment.
• Digital Media like movies, music and e-books are great green gifst that have no packaging and can be used again and again. Amazon.com and iTunes are great resources for this type of gift.
• If you're on a budget, try making your own green gifts. Knitted items, homemade preserves, or art made from reused items are some great do-it-yourself gifts.  You may also consider doing some type of service for your friend like cleaning, babysitting or cooking.
• Second hand goods are another great gift idea.  All kinds of high quality items like jewelry, clothing and instruments can be found at local second hand stores and pawn shops.

• Fair trade items are made with sustainable materials, and are not manufactured in large factories. You can spot these items by a  fair trade certified logo on the package like the ones shown on the right.

Purse Time 4 U Offers Eco Friendly Handbags

Fashion is not the only concern of the modern-day fashionista. Trendy choices and the latest styles in purses and handbags have taken on another side - eco friendly handbags. With that in mind, Purse Time 4 U, has come up with felted wool handbags made from all-natural materials.

Felted wool is one material that is environment friendly. Since it is made from fleece, it can be easily replenished. Aside from that, wool is also:

• Durable. Bags and purses made from wool can last a lifetime.
• Biogradable. Since wool is natural and not synthetic, it breaks down easily and will not pollute the environment
• Water-resistant. This means you can use your purse in any weather.

These eco friendly purses are made even better by felting. Felting is a process that makes the bag more durable, which also makes this eco friendly handbag a good gift. And, to stay true to the eco-friendly principle, no chemicals are used in the felting process.

Eco Friendly Purse and Accessory Options

Purse Time 4 U has stylish, custom eco friendly bag options for you to choose from. These unique fashion accessories come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. You can also coordinate your look with their other eco-friendly accessories like hats and scarves.

If you are looking for eco friendly gifts like a unique handmade purse, a wine carrier or a fashion accessory that shows your unique taste and stays true to your environmental principles, check out pursetime4u.com!

Wine Markers and Wine Cozies

Hello all! It’s hard to believe it’s almost the middle of July. We have been so busy stocking the shelves with unique handbags and fashion purses at our new PurseTime4U store and working on designs for the fall line that we haven’t had too much time to post here recently. The new store is doing great and we hope that you will all drop by and check out our fashion purses, wine cozies and dog carriers in person – we are in Debra’s Cottage in Costa Mesa if you get the chance to check us out in person.

We did want to stop by and let everyone know that we have a new addition to our product line. Since our fashion wine cozies have gotten so popular, we decided to add really cute wine markers to both our online and Costa Mesa fashion handbag stores. The wine markers are very trendy and help you and your guests keep track of which glass belongs to which person. You can check out the wine markers as well as our entire line of wine cozies by visiting us at Debra’s Cottage or by checking them out on our online fashion purse store.



See you soon!
