A Peruvian fair trade "Frida," "Parker" or "Water" purse will surely make a splash at any holiday party. And the festive colors—red, purple, orange and pink—enhance the flair ($80.00; www.hipandzen.com).

Not sure what to get the little ones on your list? There's nothing better than an "Adopt-A-Foundling" stuffed animal. Whether it's Ellie the Elephant or Totally Turtle, each Foundling has a 100-percent organic, pesticide-free cotton shell and is filled with unbleached cotton clippings. These huggable toys also are machine washable and safe for all ages ($14.95 and up; www.peacetoys.com).

GreenKarat's jewelry will make that special lady friend blush. Made from recycled gold, silver or titanium, everything is simple and sophisticated. The First Fig emerald ring ($325) or dangly Imagine peace earrings ($100) from the "Responsible Indulgences" line make the perfect stocking stuffer (www.greenkarat.com).

Stash organic teas will warm up anyone. The Organic Tea Basket features an assortment of flavors--chai, earl grey, breakfast blend, cascade mint, lemon ginger green, and organic green—and 10 honey sticks, all packaged in a reusable sage green pandan basket ($24; www.stashtea.com).

Everyone is impressed—and cheered up—by a bouquet of fresh flowers. With only a days notice, California Organic Flowers will deliver a Snow and Spice organic bouquet, full of white Asiatic lilies, ornamental chile peppers and fresh myrtle greens, anywhere in the continental U.S. Organic fruit and chocolates are also available ($49.95; www.californiaorganicflowers.com, 503-891-6365).
