O Christmas Tree (candle), O Christmas Tree (candle)
We're at the moment in the holiday season when I realize I need gifts for all those other deserving people in our lives: teachers, dance instructors, party hosts, house cleaners, the personal chef (ha! kidding!).

To the rescue: the clean-looking Uni Tree Candle.

Made by Austrian Atelier, this little tree has a neat, sophisticated shape that sits on a small aluminum stand and will fit into anyone's home decor. I appreciate that it is made out of renewable palm wax, uses safer colorings and doesn't have any fragrance to compete with all the other delicious smells of the season. I'll need to pick some up ASAP from the cool green-living site, Celery Street, and cross one more thing off my to-do list. -Christina

Save 15% off your order at Celery Street through 12/21 with code COOLMOM15. But make sure you order today to make ground delivery in time for Christmas.

Congratulations to Cheryl F, winner of the confetti pochette!
