Got Gifts?
So there's just a few days left 'til Christmas. Rather than offer my own holiday gift guide, I'd like to point you to some incredibly thoughtful and creative lists curated by friends and colleagues this year.
GIFT GUIDE FROM ECO-JEWELER KIRSTEN MEUNSTER
Visit eco-jeweler Kirsten Meunster's website and you'll have difficulty resisting the impulse to buy one of her gorgeous necklaces (below), rings, or cufflinks (and you shouldn't because they're amazing!). She also offers her own terrific suggestions — donations to Kiva.org, classes at 18 Reasons, a gift basket from La Cocina — in her gift guide here.
GIFT GUIDE FROM ARCHITECT MICHELLE KAUFMANN
Architect Michelle Kaufmann suggests home-baked bread and succulent terrariums. Also on her list is the ingenious, Solio - a set of mobile solar panels to power your smartphone or digital camera while you're catching your flight home for the holidays (her list here). And any architecture enthusiast would enjoy Michelle's lovely monograph, "Prefab Green" featuring an introduction written by yours truly.
GIFT GUIDE FOR CUESA
The Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture, or CUESA, the organization that runs the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market offers a wealth of delicious food-related gifts and services ranging from CSA memberships to knife sharpening. Get their list here.
GIFT GUIDE FROM CORE77
And finally, the awesome guide, "77 Righteous Gifts Under $77" from design site, Core77.com. Like this New Year's resolution-worthy message on a T-shirt:

Happy Holidays!
