Stocking Stuffers Spread Eco Friendly Fun

By Bonny Osterhage

 

Whether you celebrate the holidays by hanging a stocking or not, you know you love the fun little “happys” that qualify as stocking stuffers.  They are usually small, typically inexpensive, often unique and always fun treats that are as much fun to give as they are to receive. We have found lots of wonderful little eco friendly gifts, that are sure to bring a smile to your face — whether you actually put them in a stocking or not. Enjoy!
