> It’s that time of year again - when novelty ties and Christmas sweaters abound. Curb the trend this year by skipping holiday presents destined for landfill, and instead give gifts that align with your values. Ones that actually do good for the world.
> 
> At Ethical Ocean, your online destination for ethical shopping, we believe the gifts we give represent who we are - when you give your mom a scarf made by a woman’s cooperative in Thailand, your kid brother a skateboard made from fast-growing bamboo, or your dad a tie (one that’s actually nice) made from organic and vegan materials made in New York, you’re making a statement about what matters. We think that’s a pretty Christmas-y way to look at things.
> 
> This year we've made it easy to discover and give sexy, funky, sustainable holiday gifts easier than ever. Just visit the Ethical Ocean Elf, a cute little guy who’s scoured over 5,000 ethical products to find the best of the best. Just answer a few quick questions about the people you’re shopping for, and get a list of recommended gifts they’re sure to love.
> 
> And to help you get started on your holiday shopping, we’re giving you a gift of your own... $15 towards your first purchase on EO. Just use the coupon code MJones11 by November 30 for $10 off your first purchase.
> 
> So avoid the malls and the novelty ties, and kick off the holidays having done something good to for the world. Get started today at Ethical Ocean.
