Eco-Friendly Gifts for Grads

It’s spring again, and all over the country students of many academic levels are taking finals, matriculating and making plans for next year. It’s a time of celebration, and it’s especially exciting for me to note that more and more of today’s young people are seeing the benefits of a healthy, green, and compassionate lifestyle. As you celebrate the accomplishments of the eco-conscious, animal-loving young people in your life, consider giving them vegan, fair-trade gifts they will love that will also align with their values as responsible global citizens. Get your soon-to-be graduate a hot cocoa sampler to keep him or her going through the final weeks of school, or give cookie of the month clubs to graduates going off to college in the fall to sustain them through late nights and all those college exams. Monthly clubs can be ordered now to begin shipping in August, September or any other month you specify.

Gentle on the earth, and kind to animals and people alike, our organic, vegan and fair-trade treats will be enjoyed immensely by students of any age. Conscientious young people are sure to appreciate a deliciously decadent fair-trade gift that they can feel great about enjoying and won’t take up closet space.

New: Mocha Wheat-Free Brownies

Another month is upon us, and with it another wheat-free brownie flavor! June’s Mocha Wheat-Free Brownies will include our very own fairly-traded Peruvian Femenino organic coffee nibs to enhance the richly aromatic chocolate goodness you’ve all come to expect of our award-winning brownies. Perfect for Father’s Day or any day, these rich, chewy wheat-free brownies are made with organic oat flour and are 100% delicious!

Looking for more of that awesome mocha flavor, try brewing our Peruvian Femenino organic coffee with some of our organic drinking chocolate for sweet mocha heaven, hot or iced.

Green Graduation Gifts

We’re nearing the end of the school year and that means it’s graduation time! Whether they’re graduating from High School or earning their PhD, hard-working and eco-conscious scholars everywhere will be delighted to receive gourmet coffee gift baskets from Allison’s Gourmet this spring. Finding products that are vegan, fair-trade and organic is one of the biggest changes you can make to go green, and with more and more young people becoming aware of how what they consume effects animals and the environment, your green-mindedness won’t go unnoticed. With a gourmet coffee gift basket your graduate will know that you’re proud of their hard work and that you respect their commitment (and your own) to compassionate green living while also enjoying delectable organic sweets!
