In case you didn't get the memo, there's more to going green than buying organic produce and filling your medicine cabinet with clean cosmetics. (Though, don't get us wrong, that's important, too.) If you really want to adopt a sustainable lifestyle, it's important to think about how your actions affect the world around you. (Yes, even your holiday shopping.)
The good news is that Nordstrom has a seriously packed Sustainable Style section, making it a lot easier to treat the special person in your life to a crowd-pleasing, eco-conscious present. To help streamline your holiday shopping, we found 15 awesome gift ideas that will make your inner circle and Mother Nature very, very happy.
