This is not your traditional Toy Tuesday – this week’s Toy Tuesday is about giving a toy to someone other than the child in your life, or perhaps, in addition to the child (or other recipient) in your life.
So, you may have found this blog as you were searching for a gift for a child – maybe their birthday is coming up or you are searching for a present for Christmas or something like that. Often I find a really great item and I blog about it and give ideas for how to give it. But this is a tad different…

Gifts that are recycled, organic, eco-friendly, from the rainforest and/or solar powered.

In keeping with the Earth Day theme, I’ve chosen an item I thought would make an nice gift from a company called Greenfeet. Greenfeet is an online retailer that offers natural and earth-friendly products.
They have a nice gift section and I was particularly drawn to these mini honeypot luminaries (different sizes and styles are available). Each luminary is handcrafted from beeswax with real, dried botanicals embedded into the shell and then signed. There are ten different flower and leaf options to choose from so these make a great gift for men or women! They are beautiful even when unlit, but light the tealight candle inside and it is transformed into a softly glowing light. Quite beautiful!
