More Sustainable Holiday Shopping - the Final Countdown

Yikes!  You only have 7 shopping days left and you are stuck on what to buy that person who seems to have everything.  Don't panic!

If putting together a gift  basket isn't your style (Santa Claus is Coming to Town), you can still give the gift of sustainable food.  Johnson's Backyard Garden is offering gift certificates for vegetable pickups.  A four pickup certificate is $128 and a 10 pickup option is $300.

If you are looking for lower dollar options, Greenling  also offers locally-sourced gift baskets (pre-made so you only have to choose) and gift certificates toward home delivery service.

Another idea is a gift certificate to a local eatery that sources locally.  Edible Austin  has a list of restaurants working with local farms, purveyors and food artisans.  There is nothing like giving a gift of a fabulous food experience to your favorite foodie.

And, if your favorite foodie prefers to be more hands on, I highly recommend buying them a cooking class at Thai Fresh.  I already love the food at Thai Fresh and have heard great things about Jam Santichat's classes.  I can't wait to take a class in the New Year with a gift certificate I received.

Ok, now stop procrastinating.  Get out there and buy your local, sustainable holiday gifts!
