Cork Gifts???

As the holidays quickly approach, some of you may still be looking for the perfect gift. Perhaps you're looking for something ecologically friendly or how about something fashionable and ecologically friendly? Even better, how about something functional, fashionable and eco-friendly? Regardless of who you are shopping for, there is bound to be something for them made primarily from cork.

Here is my top ten list (in no particular order) of items made from cork that would make great gifts:

1. Jean Cristoff Cork Handbag -- Beautiful, elegant and eco-friendly (and of course, functional!). What better bag to use than this?
2. Cube ottoman or bean bag chair upholstered in cork fabric -- or how about a set of cork pillows. Cork fabric is durable, washable and stain-resistant.
3. Set of cork coasters all personalized with the name of your host/hostess/teacher/co-worker or how about "New Years Eve Celebration! Welcome 2009!"
4. Yoga mat made of cork for the Yoga enthusiast on your list. An ecological yet functional gift.
5. Bringing a bottle of wine to a party? How about a cork bottle bag to go along with it?
6. For the home wine maker, what about a bag of personalized wine stoppers? You decide what goes on the cork and we'll print it for you.
7. Fishing floats for the fisher on your list.
8. For the orchid lover, how about natural cork bark. Orchids attach themselves to the bark and thrive. Each piece of bark is unique and creates a natural display.
9. For the person who has everything - how about a cork umbrella! Yup - they exist and they work beautifully.


10. The perfect floor - cork! The new Comfort Finish Cork flooring line is stained and sealed with natural vegetable oil! A truly ecological floor.

Happy Holidays!
