A solar gift for the holidays
You will notice some repeats from previous years, just more efficient and better quality. The basic technology has not changed very much in decades. We continue to think that solar landscape lights make terrific gifts. The quality and brightness of our selection of solar powered lights continues to improve every year so take a look at our featured products or just browse our solar lights and garden section.
If solar lights are too staid for your teenage son or daughter, why not think of something a little more practical when he or she is away at school. Some of our picks this year are perfect for that teenager who lives off the grid but wants to call home. In our top picks this year, we are offering solar electronics such as solar bagsand solar portable chargers. And if you want to splurge a bit, even consider a solar backpack.
Another green product that you may want to consider is some of our solar outdoors products like the portable solar showers. Do you remember our blog a few weeks ago on Occupy DC—we understand that the solar shower was a big hit in the encampment across from the White House.
And finally the gift that always sells well during the holidays, like a badge of honor for every eco minded friend, is the solar oven. Take it on a picnic or take it on a camping trip, or just set it up outside to bake some cookies. Here is John of SolarTown—many of you talk with him on the phone to get the best customer service that we can give—here is he posing in front of our solar oven in front of SolarTown’s offices in Washington, DC. Just remember that some solar power products need sunshine to work. They don’t store solar energy and when there is some shade or even a cloud, there isn’t going to be enough solar juice to power your product.
We hope that you have stellar holidays filled with many solar gifts.
