Christmas Gifts 2009

With the holiday season upon us, gift-giving can get pretty ugly really fast. From the last-minute frantic purchasing to participating in the consumerist frenzy of buying over-hyped and unnecessary gifts, the season can definitely put a major damper on our "green" efforts.

At HuffPost Green, we believe that if you're going to buy gifts this season, they should be thoughtful, eco-friendly and inspiring.

With this in mind, check out our collection of cool, useful green gifts for this season, from solar-powered gadgets to an organic herb garden kit. Be sure to vote the the gift you think is the best!

The SolarRoll charger can generate enough energy to power a laptop. Though it starts out rolled up like a tube, when it's unrolled, it starts generating some serious energy. A bigger SolarRoll means more energy. It's also waterproof. Prices range, based on size: $295 - $655.20.

Use the power of the sun to cook and bake whatever is desired with the Global Sun Oven, which gets its energy from reflective panels. The holiday deal features the oven, two 3-qt pots, two loaf pans, one cookie sheet, and one water pasteurization indicator. It also comes with a free instructional CD, which also features recipes. Price: $269 (holiday deal, includes free S & H).

Lightweight, and extremely affordable solar charger from Solar Style can power many brands of cell phones, digital cameras, MP3 players, and possibly even more. For convenience, an AC wall charger and car charger are included as well. Price: $13.50.

Who couldn't use a flashlight, especially one that's waterproof and powered by cranking? One minute of cranking will keep the flashlight lit for 25 minutes. Price: $19.
