The Bite
Got a mile-long gift list? Join the green gift club, and shimmy on up to the Treehouse, a new boutique where only cool green gifts are allowed. Grab pretty and practical home and garden items, kids' toys they'll actually want to play with, and cute fashion accessories - and if you BYOB(ag), you'll be entered to win a $50 gift certificate. Everything is made with recycled, reclaimed, or organic materials, and many items are crafted locally - in fact, you can meet four of the designers at the store's trunk show on Dec 13. Our pick? Recycled wood boxes with antique handles by Berkeley artist Betsy Davidson. Call it holiday releaf...we're glad we're allowed into this tree house.
