I love the Honey color throw-so beautiful!
I am making Christmas greener this year by reusing all my old Christmas items-not wasting or buying new products. I am also using natural products from outdoors. When I go for a walk I pick up pinecones from the ground to use for decorations and use greenery from my property to make my own swags and wreaths.
I am using old clothing for rags to wash and clean mirrors and floors in my house and use vinegar to shine and clean my bathrooms and floors.
I use natural products as often as possible and try to by organic food and anything I can find-clothing to shampoo.

I like the sage color especially. I’m making my holidays greener by reusing Christmas paper that I saved from last year and using old Christmas cards to make crafts. Also recycling bottles and cans.

I like the Paprika. We didn’t put up as many lights to conserve energy!!
Sage looks nice. We are being more green by buying fewer imported items and more locally produced gifts.
All our gifts are in reusable totes and containers, no disposable wraps. I like the Paprika.
Would love to win this!!
I like the mulberry the best and we are trying to be far more conscious about recycling.

I like the paprika color. We are buying less gifts and will use less paper! We will also recycle like always.
Mulberry is my favorite. I am not buying any new wrapping paper this year- I’m using recycled paper :)
Persimmon is my favorite. I am using my reusable bags for all my holiday shopping!

i like paprika one. so cool.
This Gaiam Throw looks sooooo dreamy!! You had me at Cashmere feel:)
Paprika would be my pick!
We try to stay green always and at holiday time we use our same fake tree that was passed down to me over 15 years ago. We didn’t use lights this year (inside or out.) And we always use the nice china (no throw away paperplates.) Oh yeah, and we composte what we can.
Anyway, thanks for everything. Jes~

The persimmon color is gorgeous.
Mulberry is pretty…I try to reuse all gift bags from years before, only running a full dishwasher, giving more handmade gifts, not using lights…

I like the Chocolate Throw. Thanks
I’m staying home for the holidays.
My favorite is the mulberry. Instead of wrapping paper I use gift bags. I keep them year after year and just reuse them.

My favorite is the Chocolate color.
I’m re-using gift bags and bows saved from last year rather than buying new ones. Thanks for the giveaway!
