Ideal Bite

Get caught regifting that slanket? No faux pas necessary if you gift stuff they can use – and here's where to find it: Blunda's hands-on gift-making weekend, led by owner Persephenie. Create bath and body goodies like lip balms, body creams, and bath bombs and salts, using pesticide-free ingredients such as organic beeswax from a local beekeeper – a safe bet for Aunt Laroo and the planet. Then get crafty as you decorate, label, and package each gift using easy-to-recycle glass containers and foil packaging instead of plastic containers and bags that require petroleum to make. Plus: no schlepping to a zillion different stores, free Swedish spiced wine, and you won't need to resort to a slumber sleeve.
