First off I hope you don’t have everything already because that’s not very green-minded. It’s good to have less. Also I think this gift is more for the art lover (BIG TIME art lover) or crafts lover; more so than for someone who just needs a new toy. If you know someone obsessed with trees or art supplies this is the ultimate gift. 

These crayons are unique, beautiful, and made in Poland. JMS Designs reports:

“These crayons are handmade from discarded wooden twigs… During the winter months, planned areas of mature forests are cleared of underbrush, bushes and small unwanted trees in order to improve the environment for the mature oak and white pine. These small bushes and trees have no commercial value and are often burned on site. Inntrax™ Twig Crayons and Birch Baskets use these small bushes and twigs to make our Twig Crayons.

The branches used to make Inntrax™ Twig Crayons are sorted by wood type and girth, cut to standard lengths and put to store for drying. The most common woods used for Inntrax™ Twig Crayons and our other handcrafted products are birch, willow, ash and elm. In order to create Inntrax™ Twig Crayons, colored crayon material is inserted into each end of the wood. It does not go all the way through so it will not be pushed out the end of the crayon during use. The handsome display baskets are similarly handmade from forest salvage.”

The crayons are expensive though as stated above. It’s about $22 for eight and a whopping $150 for 60. However, I did say they’re best suited to a huge art lover (also someone who has been very good this year).  The best deal I’ve seen is at JMS Designs because you get 60 crayons, the basket, and 6 coloring books as well. Overall, I think that they’re so beautiful that the right person will fall hopelessly in love with them.
