Shift Your GiftThe good people at Shift Media (they're behind Shift Magazine) have launched a very cool project for the holidays. Shift Your Gift is a great sustainable holiday shopping option that offers 5% of each sale to their non-profit partners. They've partnered with over 25 non-profit groups and picked 50 great environmentally-friendly products that would make fantastic holiday gifts; with categories that include apparel & accessories, health & beauty, home, kids & pets, tasty stuff & tech, there's something for everyone on your list. Some of our favorites that are available for sale include Green & Blacks chocolate (see our product review for more details) as well as the Solio solar battery charger, Edun organic cotton t-shirts and Voltaic solar bags. Once you're shopping cart is full, you can select a non-profit to benefit from your holiday spending; not only are you helping support the non-profit sector, but your patronage will benefit a company doing good work to spread sustainable good further into the mainstream. We know that the world can't shop it's way to sustainability, but if you're going to buy gifts for friends & family this holiday season, you might as well get them something sustainable and help out a deserving non-profit at the same time.

Update: SSF is now one of the organizations who can benefit from each sale from Shift Your Gift. We won't be on the "Charities" page until tomorrow, but you can select Sustainable Style Foundation as the beneficiary organization at checkout. SSF doesn't want to encourage rampant overconsumption, but if you see something you like or that might look nice under someone's tree, we'd love to have your support!
