Sisterhood of the Traveling Plants

The Bite:
imageWanna pass along a last-minute gift that fits like a glove? Hand over one of three different gift boxes from Boulder-based Pangea Organics - filled with organic, scented scrubs, soaps, gels, balms, and lotions to suit your BFF - packaged in a plantable (yes, plantable) box. We've already gifted one (to ourselves): the lavender and geranium four-piece Peace package - the facial scrub's adzuki beans helped lighten the one-mulled-wine-too-many dark circles under our eyes. Even better: The plantable gift box is nice enough that you can skip the wrapping paper; it's 100% compostable; and the seeds embedded in it will sprout into a CO2-sucking spruce tree. Magic.
Wanna Try: 

Pangea Organics Holiday Gift Set, available at Vitamin Cottage, 2375 15th St. Map It (303-458-5300). Harmony Gift Set, $35.

Cocktail Fact

Alas: The magical "traveling pants" used in the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants were just ordinary Levis.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters opt for a bottle of organic body lotion instead of a conventional one, we'll avert the weight of 35 Americans in potentially sketchy ingredients.
