'Tis the Season

While I love many different times of the year, December is my most favorite month by far. I love the holidays for so many reasons, and one of the things I love most about them is being able to give to others.

In the spirit of giving, I am thrilled to announce I've partnered with Delight.com for a holiday giveaway! If you aren't already familiar with Delight.com, they have an endless selection of charming products, with a strong emphasis on eco-friendly items. They also feature a new item daily in their section "Today's Delight," which is discounted for a 24-hour period and is updated at lunchtime each afternoon.


Courtesy of Delight.com, I have three of these adorable Ecojot Happy Owl notebooks up for grabs; they are 100% recycled and recyclable. The paper was made in a mill that uses biogas (recovered landfill gases) as their alternative power source, and the glues and inks are vegetable-based and biodegradable! Does it get much better than that?


To enter visit Delight.com, and then come back by Thursday, Dec. 4th 11:59 p.m. CST and leave me a comment here to let me know which of their eco-friendly items are your favorite. Also, I'd love if you'd tell me the easiest change you have made or intend to make to live more eco-friendly. Make sure you include a valid email address as well as your first name and the first initial of your last name.

These are some of my favorite eco-friendly items that they carry.



Delight.com is also offering a 15% discount to all readers of Under A Paper Moon! Between today, December 1st, and December 9th, enter the code MoonDelight, which is case sensitive, when you checkout to take advantage of this deal.

*Delight.com only ships to the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, so winners must have an address in one of these countries. I am so sorry that all my other international readers won't be able to participate in this! I promise, I will make it up to you somehow!

Remember, you have until Thursday at 11:59 p.m. CST to enter, and I will announce the winners on Friday!

  1. Ooh ooh ooh! Pick me pick me!

    I LOVE that 'not a paper cup' cup---I'd keep a few on hand for last minute gifts, because really I think it's the perfect versatile little lovely for anyone on your list. I'd pair it with some fair trade tea bags and a box of homemade shortbreads!

    What am I doing to be more eco friendly? I just gave up my car on the weekend! We're now biking everywhere (no small feat in rural california) and it will be interesting to see how it goes...but I know that it's better for my heart, lungs, and the environment, not to mention my bank account, so I really hope to keep it up.

  2. oops---by rural california, i mean suburban. i don't live in the countryside by any stretch of the imagination...

    i think it was a freudian slip, though, revealing how i'm feeling after living in NYC and then moving here ;)

  5. I think the Smencils would make excellent stocking stuffers for kids. I think the easiest change to become more eco-friendly is to use reusable bags. I also found a site where I can buy reusable sandwich and snack bags for my step-daughter's lunch instead of plastic baggies.

  6. I think the Envirosax Delightfully Pretty Reusable Grocery Bags are so cute! These could be used for so much more than just groceries.
