From the bath towels to the veggies on the dinner table it's all locally sourced, grass-fed, or hand crafted. Not a smidge of BPA, MSG, or artificial sweeteners will be found in the home of an organic hostess. If you find yourself scratching your head while you decide if the extra $2 is worth it for organic apples, this Awkward Gift Guide is for you! You need not live the organic life to gift the perfect sustainable gift.

Glass Herb Keeper ($20): Whether she clips them from her garden or buys them in bulk at the local farmer's market this glass herb keeper from Crate + Barrel will keep herbs fresh for days. Crate + Barrel is usually my first stop for hostess and housewarming gifts. The selection is great and the staff is always so helpful.

S'Well Bottle ($25-45): These double walled, reusable stainless steel bottles come in sizes ranging from 9 oz-25 oz with the 25 oz bottle capable of holding an entire bottle of wine. These impressive bottles don't condensate, and can stay hot for 12 hours, and keep drinks cold for up to 24. They can easily stay hydrated without the endless waste of plastic bottles.
