"This jewelry was inspired by a want to provoke thought about these three words: PEACE, LOVE, and EARTH. Scientific experiments done by Masura Emoto of Japan, showed that words, thoughts, and feelings actually change the molecular structure of water. When words like thank you, and love were written on a container of water, the water formed beautiful structures, and the reverse happened with negative words. We are made of mostly water, and so is the earth. The same was done with thoughts, music, and prayers. What we "write" on ourselves, think about ourselves, and think about others makes all the difference." - PeaceLoveEarthJewelry -Peace Love Earth charms necklace on 18" small diamond cut bead chain. Charms made from recycled pure .925 sterling silver. Comes in a peace-sealed recycled paper box with organic cotton keepsake pouch. Handmade in Los Angeles, CA. Charms are 1/4" - $80-Manifest
your dreams! Recycled pure sterling silver 1/4" earth & peace
charms on soothing sienna colored organic string.
The roots of this wish bracelet are in ancient Armenian tradition. How
it works: 1. Make one knot for each of your seven wishes in the string.
2. Tie the bracelet around your wrist.
3. Trust that your wishes are going to come true when you look at your
bracelet and at the knots. Breathe. Remind yourself of what you want in
your life
4. When the bracelet comes off by itself, believe, and your wishes will
manifest. - $45

Accessory products are generally made with little concern for the
environmental impact of the materials used, who makes 'em, or where
they're manufactured. Cost is pretty much the only concern. The makers of Jimi Wallets decided to take a look at these elements and impose some control over
them; namely use lower impact materials, avoid sweatshop labor and
manufacture their product locally. They do all this while making
well-designed, high quality, desirable products that are competitively
priced.
As a special gift the generous folks at Jimi Wallets are offering Partybluprints'customers 15% OFF any product when they enter "PARTY" in the coupon code! (Offer valid 11/10/08 - 12/31/08) Regular Price $12.95 - $15.95

For the Neighbors, Customers, or Party Favors Olinda Ridge Olive Oil Gift Pack Give a unique and special gift to friends and introduce them to fine organic olive oil. Once they taste the difference and learn the health benefits of this delicious gift they will be hooked for life! Buy the gift pack and get 12 unique gifts for neighbors or a dozen delicious party favors!
Olinda Ridge produces 100% organic olive oil from California. The organic olive oil is created purely from organically grown olives, and has a richness in color and taste that is pretty hard to beat. The organic olive oil is a mission/manzanillo blend produced using the integrale method, a process in which the olives are depitted before being processed. This ensures the lowest acidity possible in an olive oil and results in the highest polyphenol count and antioxidants. In addition, the olives are harvested for the organic olive oil earlier in the season when the olives are greener. Olinda Ridge Estate Organic is the only depitted olive oil in the United States. For people who are allergic to nut meats and olive pits, this olive oil is safe as we don't crush the pit in with the olive meat. It's pit-free! ![]() $185 for gift pack - that is just $15.50 per gift! Available at OlindaRidge.com 17.

These glasses are really so exquisite you can pair them with your finest china for a refreshing look at a holiday table. Hand made out of recycled glass! They are a special gift for someone who loves to entertain, a great gift for the Boss or when you want to make a lasting impression with your gift. "I had to share the rave reviews I received on the Rosanna Heavenly Bottle (15 inch). I poured 2 bottles of red wine into this bottle and used it as a decanter on Thanksgiving. Not only did it make a beautiful presentation (several men even commented on it!), but it made all feel they were drinking something extra special. Although I can't quite put my finger on the "specialness" of the bottle and wine glasses, there is an ethereal quality emitted from these recycled coke bottles - they just look and feel heavenly! If you want delivery by Christmas, hurry up and place your order by 12/8 (it's listed as a Heavenly Vase, but click through and you'll see it as the 15 inch bottle).
