No doubt it's better to give than to receive, but it is Christmas after all, so we thought we'd put together an A list of gifts our Green Paper Company team has included on their own Dear Santa list. All eco-conscious, all great gifts- to give or to add to your own A list!

Organic cotton, bamboo and Lycra fabric has amazing recovery and a beautiful smooth finish. Shown here in Marigold, hand dyed by the designer with eco friendly dyes.
For the techie. HYmini is a handheld, universal charger/adapter device that harnesses renewable wind power / solar power and conventional wall plug power to recharge almost all your 5V digital gadgets. Rain or shine, this charger will store the power it generates in its internal 1200mAh lithium-ion battery, and a fully charged HYmini can power up two iPods before it runs out.

The perfect book for your favorite DIY-er. Give them some crafty green inspiration with Sewing Green: 25 Projects Made With Repurposed & Organic Materials, which helps readers look at vintage cloth, old wardrobe pieces, and sustainable fabrics in a whole new way--think making an apron from men's shirts, a wallet from shirt cuffs, and a blanket from old sweaters. Love it!
