It’s Only Natural Gifts launches eco-friendly, carbon footprint lowering online store

May 19, 2008. It’s Only Natural Gifts announces the launch of their online store (www.ItsOnlyNaturalGifts.com), and retail showroom featuring natural and organic food and body care products, thoughtfully delivered in spunky reusable canvas bags. The store’s concept is a big step toward meeting the needs of the rapidly growing US consumer and corporate markets searching for convenient ways to send environmentally conscious gifts.

Located in the foothills of Boulder County, Colorado, It’s Only Natural Gifts offers a refreshing blast of green, eco-friendly gifts. To make It’s Only Natural Gifts’ list, products may contain only natural and organic ingredients, maintain preservative-free and cruelty-free standards, must be hypoallergenic, healthy, free of any added colors and artificial ingredients, be artistically packaged, and most importantly, be nourishing, fresh, luxurious and delicious. The gift recipient receives an armload of exceptional value, because only full-sized products are included in gift sets.

The business was inspired by comedian songwriter Tim Minchin’s “Canvas Bags” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVh15aUt8-c) music video. “This business looks brilliant, as it’s all about encouraging shifts that promote environmental responsibility,” says Minchin.

The 100% grade “A” sturdy cotton canvas bags are made in the USA, are adorned with beautiful images and make thoughtful gifts on their own, especially as consumers are transitioning away from plastic bags in favor of reusable shopping bags. Customers can optionally customize their gift bag by supplying their own image.

It’s Only Natural Gifts helps reduce the carbon footprint of gift shoppers. Gift customization is effortless - choose the bag, and then select the contents. The long list of items to choose from saves customers the time, hassle and expense of having to run from store to store selecting, packing, and shipping their gift. From the comfort of their home or office, online shoppers can create a unique gift by selecting items from a variety of categories including: organic snacks (nuts, crackers, cookies, and dried fruits), organic chocolates (beautiful truffles, bars, and hot chocolate), organic teas and coffees, organic sweeteners (agave nectar), scone mixes and granola, freshly ground organic herbs and spices, gardening supplies (seeds, tools, stakes, and books), natural soaps, sachets, lotions, beeswax and soy candles, sun protection, popular books and more. Pre-designed gift sets are also available, making it quick and easy to select a set for every occasion.

It’s Only Natural Gifts is the exclusive online retailer of Seth Ellis Chocolatier, a burgeoning organic chocolate manufacturer in Boulder, CO. Botanical Interests’ seeds, Smith & Truslow organic herbs and spices, Chocolove candy bars, Madhava Agave Nectar, Clark’s Beeswax Candles, and Colorado Mountain Jam are other regional favorites.

Green gift giving and promoting businesses go hand-in-hand. Corporate accounts and professionals appreciate the option to imprint their logos on the canvas bags—turning a gift-giving occasion into a lasting and memorable branding opportunity.

It’s Only Natural Gifts maintains high eco-friendly shipping standards. Only recycled uninked newsprint and shipping materials are used. The beautiful canvas bags hold the gifts inside like wrapping paper, only better because they are reusable.
