No matter what you celebrate come December, you do it here on Earth. And while Mother Nature doesn't demand a gift (much unlike your own), it would be nice to keep her in mind this holiday season. Every gift in our holiday gift guide (see the categories over there at right) does minimal harm to the planet and the various creatures who call it home. Some are made from renewable, repurposed or organic materials; some are fairly traded; and the proceeds from others benefit environmental organizations. Then there's Ruby, who we think speaks for herself.

So go ahead — shop your eco-savvy heart out. When you're done, this guide makes for some festive alt-weekly wrapping paper. Consider it our gift to you.

Shoppers: Chad Crisp, Felicia D'Ambrosio, Kaitlyn Foti, Ptah Gabrie, Holly Otterbein, Aly Semigran, Eileen Talone
