Best Holiday Gift Ideas in Marin
When you purchase gifts this year, let your dollars support local businesses! For those of you who grew up in families that started shopping for holiday gifts in July, here's a slightly more reasonable head-start for some super cool gift ideas in Marin. Feel free to forward your own great ideas to theMarinGuide and this list will grow!
1. MALT (Marin Agricultural Land Trust) Gift Cards. Every year, we buy a few boxes of these to keep on hand for those last minute gift needs. The images of local farmlands are GORGEOUS. Super tasteful. And what could be better than supporting those who conserve our farmland?
2. Meat! (Probably not the best thing for your vegetarian friends. You may have heard of CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) for fruits and veggies. You sign up in advance to support a farm for a period of time and each week or month you get a box of farm fresh seasonal produce delivered to your door (or your neighbor's door.) Well now you can do the same with meat! Turn your carnivores on to MUCH better tasting and more sustainably raised meat, 100% grass fed chicken, hogs, lamb goat and cattle from Marin Sun Farms.
3. Made in the USA cotton clothing from Tela D. If you've been in Marin long enough, you'll get the importance of Cotton vs. synthetic and Made in the USA. Made in Marin would be great, but hey, let's support Tela D Organic Boutique for bringing us clothes that are better for our bodies and our planet.
