Having a Green Christmas has never been easier! Here are several companies that can help you purchase "green" holiday gifts if you're at the end of your rope trying to figure out how to give environmentally friendly, unique gifts. Start by looking at these three highly reputable companies' holiday gift guides: SustainLane, a website that offers suggestions on sustainable, daily living practices and a comprehensive holiday gift guide; Natural Resources Defense Council's green holiday gift guide or Greenwala, a site that is chock full of all types of green living information, including their handy ultimate green holiday wish list.

For the folks on your list who would rather give to a charity (dedicating the gift to family members), check out the OxFam Organization. Oxfam helps needy families for the holidays when you choose a gift from a list that is provided for you. You give the gift in the name of your friend or family member, and your friend gets a card explaining the gift that they "bought" for the needy family. Your friend gets to feel generous and the receiving family gets exactly what they need, whether it's clothes, shoes, supplies for their business, whatever they've listed as their wishes to receive this Christmas.

The lovers of wildlife on your list will love when you choose the Nature Conservancy, who will adopt an acre of wildlife habitat in their name or World Wildlife Fund, who will adopt a coral reef or a boreal forest in their name. The more politically minded will appreciate a gift from the Fair Trade Gift Guide.

Remember, less packaging is better; buy quality products made from recycled or post consumer content that will last a long time, and wrap them in colorful, reusable ONYA shopping bags (made from recycled PET bottles).
