Christmas By Sterotypes

Don't we all have friends that mold perfectly into a stereotype? Your best friend Jamie, for example, is more than a self-proclaimed hippie who drives a hybrid and donates to PETA. She's also a strict organaholic.. eating, sleeping, and breathing only natural materials. You may be wondering what gift you can possibly find for someone who keeps weekly charts of her carbon footprint, right? Luckily, shopping for any stereotype can be as easy as reading this blog. Follow along Couch Potatoes :]









2009 has seen some great lifestyle & fashion trends, including Hippie Chic and the GO-GREEN epidemic. For the girl you have no clue to get for, all you have to do is head to the mall. Not only are there tons of Hippie fashions (headbands, boots, baby doll shirts & peace-sign EVERYTHING) there are also Eco-friendly finds as well. Sephora offers an Organic make-up collection made of natural beauty products anyone could appreciate. Stores like Delia's and Wet Seal have numerous graphic Tee's proclaiming Green life styles & peace (both have online websites as well.) Don't hippies like to feel connected to earth? A yoga mat and video is another great idea! Visit Barnes & Noble for organic, green, vegetarian, cookbooks and lifestyle books. Remember, nothing is impossible with a little research.
