Sleep Healthy

Every year I have a few favorite gift ideas

Christine Chamberlin, Co-owner

 

This year, all of them fall into the category of keeping you warm and cozy. That’s my definition of telling someone you love them. Last year, my son gave me a heavy fake mink throw and every time I crawl under it to watch TV, I think of him.

Here are my top 5 gift ideas and our best sellers at the moment, so others must agree:

1.   Under the Nile organic cotton throw – love the thick waffle weave, giving to our son Scott 
2. Brahms Mount Starry Nights Natural Cotton Throw  – the oversized tassels win the design award and a place in my son Matt’s new apt
3. Crescent Moon Alpaca Wool Comforter – our mission is to have one on every bed in our family tree, it’s that comfy. You never get overheated!
4. Under the Nile Organic Cotton Blanket – think plush cotton, like fleece and you’ll get the idea. Cuddly, soft, and washes up wonderfully. Esquire Magazine calls it the best of the best, we have to agree.
5. The Turkish Towel Company Organic Cotton Robe. Thick, cozy, buried treasure at this price: $75. 

With fewer dollars to spend on gifts, may each present you give be a big love hug.

Well, I'm not gonna lie. Eco-friendly, all-natural, and organic gifts can be pricey. And with good reason. They're high-quality, in less demand than their synthetic counterparts, and are harder to garner resources for. But there ARE some less-than-expensive options for people on your gift-giving list this year.

Here are the items that top my "green living" gift-giving list: 

For Him:  COYUCHI Organic Flannel Pajamas ($58). They're soft, organic, and priced right.

 

For Her: Under the Canopy Organic Jersey Robe ($39). It's oh, so soft, luxurious and a steal!

For Junior: COYUCHI Organic Jersey Sheet Set ($63 for violet). My son has a set and I can't say enough good things about these sheets. Soft. Dreamy. They wash up well. No pills. Sheen is lovely. I highly recommend.

For baby: Under the Nile Organic Veggie Crate ($26). So cute. So cuddly. So non-toxic.

There are any number of choices out there for the healthy-living people on your list but these are a few that I'd recommend. Now, if you're like me, shipping is the one calculation you DO NOT want to see in your shopping cart when shopping online! In fact, here's a secret about me: I only shop at sites where I know my order will ship for FREE. Yep - cat's out of the bag now...but, hey, I just consider it "savvy shopping."

Well, good news! From now through the holidays, all orders of $30+ will ship for FREE from www.thecleanbedroom.com.

So, if you haven't written out your holiday wish list yet, you may want to browse our recommendations before you do just to be sure you didn't miss anything for yourself! .

And from our home in Maine to your home across the miles, we sincerely wish you and yours the best during this holiday season.
