BRIDESMAIDS’ GIFTS

Create a nice basket for the special women in your bridal party with gifts that give back to others and that do not harm our environment.

The Organic Babassu Soaps, $18 at Natural Territory, are a fair-trade item made by a cooperative of women in the Brazilian Amazon.

World of Good donates 10 percent of profits to social and economic development in artisan communities. The Bead-tastic bracelets are $13.95 each at Whole Foods Market.

The rain-forest native necklace, $52, and earrings, $26, both at Natural Territory, are woven by hand and made with capin dourado, a plant known as golden grass. The plant with a golden luster grows in the Amazon region of Brazil.

The Ergo soy candle, $24.50 at Natural Territory, contains no additives and no petroleum.

REGISTRY

If you and your groom each have a set of pots and pans, why get more? Instead pick a charity or organization and have your guests donate to it. Visit the I Do Foundation, where you can register for a charity for friends and family to contribute to or a gift registry that gives back 10 percent to the charity of your choice.

If you are low on home decor, linens and dinnerware, register at Natural Territory. You’ll find sustainable modern furniture and home accessories that are socially responsible without sacrificing style.
