I don’t know about you, but I am the ultimate procrastinator when it comes to holiday planning. I come up with elaborate projects and manage to pick up a few things here and there through the Fall. As Christmas nears, I find myself overwhelmed by my overly-complicated projects and the need to get it all in the mail in time. This year I plan to do things a little differently, planning early and implementing as many green Christmas ideas as I can to keep things low stress and low consumption.

I mentioned a few articles back that I’d recently found a site called Botanical Paperworks with wonderful wildflower seeded paper products. I thought it might be nice to get our readers a little something to help this Christmas, so with thanks to our wonderful friends over there, we’ve been able to get an awesome discount for your green holiday shopping. Simply enter the coupon code “Muse Green 08″ during checkout and you will receive 20% off of all items from their 2008 Green Signature Holiday Gift List. NOTE: the coupon code is NOT case sensitive, but DOES require the spaces between the words muse & green and green & 08. The coupon is good for the entire holiday season through December 31, 2008. The Green Signature Holiday Gift List includes holiday greeting card sets, holiday tags, the 2009 Eco Calendar and journals. Almost everything is under $25. Here are a few items from the list:

The Plantable Holiday Gift Cards start at $5.95. They also have a number of holiday gift tags and holiday party favors.

The Think, Write & Grow Plantable Journal is $24.95. The inside is recycled, lined paper and the outside cover (for removing and planting) is 100% recycled office paper and wildflower seeds.

The 100% post-consumer waste 2009 Plantable Eco Calendar is $24.95. The patterns are really pretty on this and would be a nice, light thing to mail! As each month passes you have a new page to plant!

The Yummy Card Set is one of my favorites. For the gardener and gourmet, these cards contain an assortment of herb seeds and come with corresponding recipes. They are $19.95.
