ModernEcoHomes Your New Eco Hub
Prissy Green may not be your first stop on a eco-friendly home decor frenzy, but from now on ModernEcoHomes should be. After browsing around this site, I was able to formulate my Christmas list. No, I am going to post my list here! but I do feel like I need to point on some of their awesome eco-friendly products.
ModernEcoHomes is giving us what Lowes, Pier One and Pottery Barn can’t. A green guarantee. Founder Kristen Baker has taken the guesswork out of you greening your home by only offering eco-friendly products and decor.
When you choose something eco-friendly, you get a double benefit; you love it and you move towards sustainability, which means it’s better for everyone and our planet.
- Practical, functional and beautiful eco-friendly products at reasonable prices.
- The best eco products selected from what’s available on the Web.
- Ideas, information, reviews, deals and the inspiration to be more eco-friendly.
- Make good buying decisions, we make it easy for you to shop and buy environmentally friendly.
And it isn’t just a few pieces. You can decorate your whole house with a virtual trip to her store. Eco Magazine racks, accents, furniture, green fitness, outdoor furniture etc etc. The list is unending. ModernEcoHomes has the cutest organic baby items you have seen.

Or maybe you are looking for your pre-teens room decor? Try some of these sustainabe and eco-friendly modern art wares on for size.
100% functional, eco-friendly kid’s furniture that is no tool, 3 minute assembly. You can take it apart and put it back together! Sturdy enough to hold a large amount of weight too! And how adorable are these kid’s bedroom sets? I wish they all came in king sized! If I had a little girl I would have to get her the white bunk beds. And these are all eco-friendly and made from sustainable materials!
and yes, of course ModernEcoHomes has items for mom and dad too. As I said before, you could decorate your entire house with green products and furnishings found at ModernEcoHome. If you visit any page, you have to check out their eco-friendly lighting! Completely gorgeous, earthy, simple and yet so dramatic.
The lighting section is always my favorite place at any home decor store. But the lights here, are simply fascinating! I adore the simplistic beauty.
ModernEcoHomes even has a whole category for reviews. Want to see how others felt about your future purchase? Find it in the ModernEcoHomes review section.
I had read about a Wine Barrel Lazy Susan some time ago and thought it would make a great present for a wedding. but now that it is close to the other present time of year, I am thinking what a great gift for anyone! Family can use it on their kitchen tables. It would also be great for a craft table!
It is so simple, yet so earthy, romantic and classy! A re-purposed wine barrel into a spinning tray! you can even have them stenciled! Read Kristen’s entire review on Viva Terra’s Wine Barrel Lazy Susan.
And not worry. If you are truly in the gift giving mode, they have an entire category for your green gift giving needs. Since most of the items I talk about here on Prissy Green would make great gifts for women, let’s dish on eco-gifts for men! I am all over these eco-slippers for my dad. And Craig would be proud to pull out his Recycled LP Coasters.
Enjoy your shopping trip! There really is something for everyone, and it all just happens to be green too!

Wholesale Keychain Review and Giveaway (Closed)
You might wonder why I chose to do this review and giveaway. Usually I focus on the natural and the beauty side of life. You can use keychains to make your legs smooth! but my Dad has collected keychains for as long as I can remember so I thought it might be a good time to check them out and see if I could even find him an extra gift.
I was able to review three keychains. One is a Colts Keychain. And honestly I chose it because I KNOW I can take it to either a holiday party gift exchange as a decoration on the package, as the gift or even give it to a family member. We do bleed blue around here during football season.
Of course since I have picked that keychain out, they have added several more Colts geared ones in, but I still like it. Nice and thick and seems like it will last forever! And yes it is a Bottle Opener Keychain, which will make most tailgaters happy!
The coolest keychain I received is a TAO Digital Photo Keychain. It retails for $29.99 and it is worth it!
With a smooth, mirrorlike finish and pocket watch weight, this keychain has the quality finish you would expect to safeguard your memories.
There are four steps to getting this going.
- Charge
- Turn on
- Insert the USB cable to the keychain and computer
- Download the photos you want.
It really was simple and the photos look great. Of course you want to make sure you have more up close pictures on friends and family, anything too far away will look a little funny.
Wholesale Keychains has a USB flash drive keychains & game keychains like, Hungry Hungry Hippo and Boggle! Truly a little bit of anything you can imagine!
And they want to give THREE readers here their choice of keychain!
To enter, head over to Wholesale Keychain and tell me what keychain you would most like to have or give. Please leave the SKU#.

NOVICA. The World is Your Market.
I am so happy to have found this company. When you go to their website, you will know just what I mean. They have thousands upon thousands of unique gifts, green gifts and even fair trade corporate gifts. Never again can you say, “I don’t know what to get him!” I have a couple family members (ahem, MEN!) that have always been impossible to buy for. When they want or need something they just go get it. Well now I can run to NOVICA and know that I am getting them something truly unique, and that my money went towards paying a man or woman a fair wage, and showed them someone does value their hard work.
I was able to spend a little money (gift card!) at NOVICA, sponsored by them too of course! And I was so thrilled with what I was able to get! First, I found this beautiful Sangria Pitcher. It is hand made blown glass, and see that little divet in the middle? that is where you put ice, to keep your drinks cold, but not watered down. I love it! I can’t wait to have more people over so I can show it off! Perfect for tea, lemonade, or Sangria!
Sangria Afternoon
I was also able to get this beautful Cedar Chest, aptly called Elegance! Just perfect for stowing away my beautiful jewelry, my Holly Yashi Jewelry just looks perfect in there! Well, I admit, it does look better on though! It is truly a work of great craftsmanship. No nook left untouched. The paint is healthy and looks marvelous! Antonio Rojas crafts the piece by hand, carefully painting its red and golden motifs. Wrought iron pulls and an antique finish complete the jewelry box.

I also received this beautiful Tiger’s Eye Cocktail ring, named Paradise. isn’t she a beauty? (not in my steve irwin voice!) The flower looks so delicate, but yet is was made so well, it will hold up for a long time!

And one more beautiful item, that I know will be getting a lot of my attention come fall, Women’s hemp and cotton pants, ‘Leisurely Green.’ This are so comfy! and they are actually warm too! I was afraid they might be a little itchy as some hemp clothing is, but the cotton balances that out just right. These are actually nice enough, that if I grab them out of the dryer just right, and keep the wrinkles at bay, i can wear them out! Now mind you they are still casual, I won’t be night clubbing in them, but they would be great for dinner.

You want to know the true kicker here? I received all of this for $150! I paid a few bucks in extra shipping, but really! $150! Nice huh?
Novica has some really great search options too, you can search by dollar amount, or my gift category, my him or her, and so much more. It truly makes gift giving a breeze and a pleasure!
So remember when you are shopping for birthdays, your co-workers, your boss, your employees, kids, Christmas, graduations, etc. You have Novica for all your fair trade gifts!
