It’s very easy to step into any major store at Christmas time and walk out with armfuls of interesting ornaments with which to decorate your Christmas tree. And that was a great way to start building your own family’s celebrations when you were young and out on your own for the first time. But now as the years go by you’ll want to personalize your tree with unique ornaments that reflect you and your family and not the tastes of an anonymous buyer for a large store.

Sure, you selected ornaments that you liked from the mass-produced ones available in the store or maybe picked up ones like those your parents used. So it was all your choice. But when you begin adding Christmas ornaments made by individuals and artists to your tree then you enter into a whole new world.

When you buy a handmade ornament you will know that no one else in the world has an ornament exactly like yours. Even when the maker uses a pattern, each individual piece will have certain irregularities that set it apart. Often the creator will deliberately make slight variations from one piece to another.

Handmade ornaments also have a person behind them, not a machine. Instead of putting your money towards maintaining a factory line it will go towards helping out an individual, whether you purchase the ornament directly from the artist or from the retail shop that is helping get the ornaments from the artist to you.

There is an even greater variety of handmade ornaments than mass-produced ones because each design only needs to appeal to a few people, sometimes just one, instead of many. You can even have your favorite artists create custom pieces for you with your favorite colors, initials, or other special touches.

Depending on the ornaments you select you can also choose more environmentally friendly options that what is offered from many larger companies. There are ornaments available that are designed with recycled materials or use organic cottons and other renewable materials.

You can also make ornaments yourself. If you’re a little worried about how it will turn out then start by buying a kit from the craft store.  Follow the steps, but make a point of doing something a little different. Get an extra bit of paint to turn a red bow into a gold one or switch out a fabric backing with a scrap of old pajamas.

The best part is that as you replace the mass-produced ornaments with unique Christmas ornaments made by hand your tree will begin to look different. It will become one that could not possibly belong to anyone but you. When your friends come over they will be fascinated by the unusual pieces and you will be able to tell them stories about your favorite pieces.

Your children will likely become attached to specific ornaments that appeal to them. Someday, when they grow up maybe they’ll take a couple with them to start their own Christmas trees with these symbols of many happy holidays. In the meantime, you can introduce friends and family to the joys of unique ornaments by giving them as presents.

Christmas is coming, and we’re all looking for cool Christmas gifts for our loved ones. Christmas is a special time of year, and the giving and receiving of Christmas gifts is a large part of that.

However there are many people that are aware that not everyone who lives on this planet is as fortunate as ourselves, and that whilst we all enjoy our eating, drinking and gift giving at Christmas, it is not such a fine time for everyone.

For that reason I have written a number of times about choosing Christmas gifts that take some account of this fact. Gifts that recognise that we are the lucky ones, and which give back in some small way as well as provide us with a cool gift for Christmas for one of our loved ones.

In fact the giving of socially aware Christmas gifts is itself becoming a pretty cool activity, and many people are actively looking for ways they can source Christmas gifts in a socially and environmentally responsible way.

I have therefore, scoured the web for cool Christmas gifts for the socially and environmentally aware person. Christmas gifts that can be given to someone who cares about the impact of our Christmas activities on others, and the environment.

Here’s 3 suggestions for cool Christmas gifts for the socially aware person. There’s lots more, check out my website.

1. Give a hand carved bone necklace. Made in Kenya, bone carving is a tradition going back centuries. It is a skill passed from family member to family member, and the result is a lovely piece of jewelry for both men and women.

Yes I did say men. These bone carved necklaces are quite masculine and would make a fine gift for a man. I would happily wear one.

2. A gourd birdhouse. Carved from gourds in Peru, these are birdhouses with a difference. Delightfully carved, some with village scenes, they are to hang around the garden to offer a home to some of our feathered friends.

Give a gift that not only helps the people of Peru who do the carving, but which enriches our lives with birdsong in our garden.

3. A hand made Dominoes game. Colorful, hand carved and sourced from Thailand, these are wonderful Dominoe sets for the enthusiast. Very cheap for a hand made product. Perfect to put on the coffee table to stimulate conversation as well as play.

4. A chocolate gift basket with a difference. Filled with organic chocolates, both milk and dark, that you would nver have heard of before. From unusual places, and some unusual products. Organic Java drops for example, or organic cocoa.

There are companies which exist to promote social and environmental responsibility in our trade. The purchase of these products helps others far less fortunate than us.

So if you, or the person for whom you are buying your gifts this year, has a social conscience, there’s 4 ideas for cool Christmas gifts that are both socially and environmentally responsible. Check out my website for some other ideas.
