How to Find Presents for Everyone on Your List
Amy Jurkowitz
The holidays are supposed to be a time full of family, fun and cheer. But we all know the weeks before are instead often filled with stress, anxiety and no time!! I for one, always have a hard time finding that perfect present for everyone on my list. This year, Ethical Ocean has saved me. They have created an ingenious system where their little elf asks you a few questions about each person you are buying a gift for and they send you ideas! Most important to note is everything featured on EO is ethical – good for people, good for animals or good for the environment.
Alie (17): fashionista, clothes hoarder
Empire Bamboo Dress: $160
Half of the girls closet is in another friends closet and this dress will be one of the first to be grabbed after the holidays!
Recycled SM Himba PVC Bracelets: $12
The trend to wear up to 15 bracelets at once is here to stay and this one will surely be a welcomed addition.
Olivia (17): horse obsessed, athletic, loves perfume
Tsi-La Eau De Parfum Collection: $96.76
The bottles are reason enough to buy this scent!
Natural Laundry Soap: $15
Ok, doubt Livvie will really want this, but the perfect thing to wash her clothes with when she comes home from riding!
Talia (16): wants no gifts, only to give to those in need (this may be a stage!!)
Carbon Plus Credit: Credit equates to planting and caring for 3 trees and offsetting 5,200 kilometers of vehicle emissions: $75
Grow a Note Thank you cards. $3.99
Tali can send these cards out and tell her friends to plant them after they read her thoughts – not wasting a cent!
Clayton (15): sports obsessed
Rugby smooth football: $24
Fair trade certified and very cool

Takes music from your device (ipod) and turns it into vibrations and then into a speaker
