Holiday Gifts 2007: For the eco-chic pal
I discovered this really cool Website that has everything from a mango wood stool to a great tea pot.
If you're looking for some unusual gifts, check out gaiam.com.
I just love this mango wood stool that was hand turned by Thai artisans, who used a lathe to create the gentle curves. Because it's handmade, the Web site says measurements will vary slightly, but it's about. 13"W x 18"H.
You may like it so much that you'll buy one for yourself as well. I'm tempted, really tempted. It sells for $299. There's also a surcharge because it weighs 25 pounds.
You can watch the tea in the glass pot as the delicate blossoms of silver needle green tea and fragrant flowers bloom in water. Each of the teaposies is flavored with jasmine, magnolia, amaranth, lily, camellia and rose. The borosilicate glassware is made with 20 percent recycled glass. Tea set includes a Tea for Two teapot with glass diffuser, loose-leaf tea, bamboo hot plate and two elegant teacups with saucers. It's $78 for the set.
