With Halloween having come and gone, and gift-giving holidays on the horizon (be yours Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza), the holiday shopping season has officially begun. Along with holiday cheer, though, comes the perennial anxiety of finding the perfect present for your loved ones.

While most people start this season with the best of intentions, dreaming up idyllic ways with which to profess love and affection can easily result in a burn-out. Not to mention, gift-giving holidays can produce enormous amounts of waste – from wrapping paper to unwanted gifts. So, psychoPEDIA pooled together five great gift ideas, all of which are easy on the environment and can cover just about anyone on your list – from your overbearing boss or finicky boyfriend, to your nerdy niece and nephew. And, you don’t even have to leave your living room (as long as you have Internet), to purchase any of them.

Sunjar ($42)
There's something amazingly uplifting about this little jar of sunshine. Simply leave it in the sun all day and your Sunjar will store up sunlight, illuminating any space long into the night. While this gift rings true for anyone partial to environmental consciousness, it will also excite anyone with some sense of childlike wonderment. Essentially a lightning bug for adults, when fully charged the jar will glow up to 5 hours. Without a doubt this simple gift will literally and figuratively brighten anyone’s day.

Re-Sail Bag ($159)
Don’t be confused by the competition; these are the original re-sail bags. Each bag is made from 100% recycled sailcloth, making it a great choice for the environmentally conscious. These totes are fully lined, protecting your goods from the elements, and making them perfect for a day at the beach (Christmas in Bali anyone?). To boot, re-sail bags are made in limited runs, so no two are alike.

Crack 'n Grow Eggling ($8.95)
These inexpensive little egglings may be the perfect stocking stuffer. Huge in Japan, each white porcelain egg contains seeds and soil just waiting for a little love. Each egg comes in its own gift box and contains one of a variety of herbs or flowers. Simply crack the egg, add water and place it in a warm safe place with access to light. In just a few days, like magic, your egg will hatch a plant.

Green Charger ($79.95)
Ever had one of those hellishly long days, where, just when you need to make an important call, your cell phone dies on you? Face that nightmare no longer with this ecologically-sound charger. The Solio is a hybrid charger that allows you to charge-up while on the go. The universal charger can power virtually all your electronic gadgets without the use of a plug or power source. It stores power for up to a year thanks to its solar panels that allow it to soak up the energy of the sun.

Experience Gifts by Signature Days ($20 and up)
Last but not least is the gift for the person that has it all – an experience gift. Thanks to Signature Days, a company that now has locations in almost every major city in the U.S., you can choose from a long list of unique gift experiences that will leave next to no waste, if any. While it’s not exactly "The Game," you'll find experiences at almost every price point. Options include private cooking lessons, hot air balloon rides, shark fishing, image consulting, and more.
