CHRISTMAS CRAYON ROCKS

Crayon Rocks are beautiful, all natural non-toxic soy wax crayons made from USA grown soybeans and colored with natural mineral powders.

A nice gift card is attached.

+ Crayon Rocks $5.25

NATURAL AND ORGANIC CHRISTMAS CANDY

No stocking is complete without some tasty holiday treats such as the totally adorable 100% organic & Fair Trade Santa’s Sweet Treats charms shown above. When shopping for holiday treats look for all natural and certified organic candy and cookies along with Fair Trade chocolates. If you can, choose minimal or bulk packaging and alternate candy with festive and healthy fruits like tangerines or holiday nuts. Linked below is a yummy selection of treats that we think your kids will adore. SAFETY NOTE: Be sure to follow safety guidelines for babies and small children when choosing candy treats, since many candies pose a choking hazard. A nice alternative treat for little ones would be undecorated soft gingerbread or sugar cookies.

+ 1 pound Organic Hard Candy Holiday Mix $12.99, + Organic Chocolate Santas $3.49 for two, + Organic Candy Canes $3.99 from Natural Candy Store
