2. Eco Dog: Healthy Living for Your Pet by  Corbett Marshall and Jim Deskevich demonstrates the everyday dangers in traditional cleaners and pet products–then shows you how to make your own safe, natural foods, flea treatments, and toys.

4. A gift from Oxfam, the international relief and development organization. For $50, you can donate a lamb or a goat in a friend’s name. Heck, they might even name the goat after your friend. (What you’re really doing is donating the cost of a goat for Oxfam to use as needed, such as training farmers to work with goats or helping women start their own businesses.) Your friend receives a nice card from Oxfam with a coat on it, and never has to clean out a stall. Gift is tax deductible.

5. Organic Monkey Ring Stacker for babies, $32.99 from Toys R Us (and available only online). Made form organic cotton with no chemical treatment.

In honor of this new feature, and in honor of it being Monday, we’re having a GIVEAWAY! The giveaway is an item that I haven’t featured on any of my lists–in fact, it’s hard to find anywhere. This week’s giveaway? Two Bakugan Starter Packs. (You can read my review of Bakugan here. You can read more and watch a video here.)

To enter, browse our new Gift Lists. Then leave a comment on this post saying which item you’d most like to give or receive this holiday season.

But wait, there’s more! I just know there are folks out there in Cyberland who need gift-giving advice. And here I am, a Professor of Giftology, a goofy title I egotistically bestowed on myself, twiddling my thumbs. So this week, if you ask the Present Professor to help you find a gift for your aunt or son or imaginary friend or secret pain or your brother, you’ll get an extra entry into our giveaway. And if I answer your question, you’ll get a third entry–so make ‘em good!

Giveaway open to U.S. residents only.
