Green Gadgets for the Groomsmen

The rehearsal dinner is right around the corner, and picking up those last minute gifts of gratitude for the bridal party is next on the to-do-list. When shopping for the guys, consider a fun(and hopefully useful) green gadget!

Online resources such as Treehugger and EarthTechling are great resources for gift suggestions, so we looked to these sites for a few suggestions to get you started…

For the guy who can’t live without his MP3 or phone even when he’s outdoors, this charger pack from Brunton Outdoors charges compatible devices using solar power.

If one of your groomsmen is a lover of great coffee, this hand-powered espresso maker from Hammacher Schlemmer is awesome!

The best man can head to the beach with his favorite songs using this solar iPod speaker dock available from Eton!

Already wrapping your green gadget gifts or have more ideas? Please share your faves here on the blog!

Giving Thanks to your In Laws-to-Be

How exciting is this- you’re about to celebrate your first Thanksgiving as an engaged couple?!?!

Whether you and your fiancé are hosting or planning to visit your in laws-to-be, presenting them with a little something special is an ideal way to get the celebration started.

If you are searching for the perfect gift of gratitude, consider these suggestions…

A recommendation from one of our fave eco-style blogs, ecofabulous, this wine by Paul Dolan Vineyards is made with grapes that are harvested in soil (free from pesticides and synthetic fertilizers).

Cool, fall weather is made for snuggling under a warm throw. A handmade afghan like this one from Etsy seller Ednascloset would make a great gift.

A sweet potato butter would be yummy with brunch the next morning! Pick up some from Low Country Produce or whip up your own with a recipe from Martha Stewart!

We’d love to hear what you decided on, so come back and share after dinner!
