These gift cards are so darling that they could redeem a lump of coal wrapped in a rag. Choose from festive sentiments such as: You Rock! and Huzzah! (an exclamation I have resolved to use once a day — just adds a little zing to the old vocab.)

You could buy 2 cards 2 bucks, but I bet you’ll want to spring for the bakers dozen and get 13 for 11 bucks.

Biodegradable Ribbon December 17, 2006

I am going to quote from the Papoganics website: “100% biodegradable Natural Ribbon is made from perfectly aligned strands of cotton coated with a water-based adhesive and colored with soy-based ink. Crisp and springy in texture, it holds its shape beautifully and is easily curled or shredded. A unique environmental choice in ribbon. Made in the U.S.A.” Isn’t that a great idea? It comes in several colors and patterns.

5 bucks at Paporganics
