I like the mulberry. This season we’re trying to recycle and cut down on packaging.
I love the Persimmon Throw..looks warm and comfy!
What we are doing to be greener over the holidays is to not use wrapping paper, but to instead use some gift bags to put gifts in. Save the trees, and less mess at Christmastime!

I like the Mulberry best. We are trying to shop local and also bake gifts to be more “green”.
