Spa’s Holiday Gift Guide: Day 9 – Eco-Friendly
When the weather is warm, there’s nothing more relaxing or enjoyable than sitting outside in the evening with friends and enjoying a glass of wine or a cup of tea. And soft, beautiful lighting can really take the experience up a notch. Although it’s hard to imagine warm weather right now, I want to plan ahead and get one or two people on my list a set of Solar Shoji Lanterns ($79).
These lanterns are charged up by the sun during the day and flip on automatically at night. And, although they look like paper, they’re actually made from a weatherproofed nylon. So they should hold up in bad weather and last quite a long time.
