Welcome to the 2010 Holiday Gift Guide event with Eighty MPH Mom and Slice o’ Heaven! We will be featuring some fabulous companies and products throughout the event to help you with your holiday shopping and preparation. Of course there will be plenty of giveaways too. Get a jump on gifts, and stop by each day. Many days we will be featuring the same item or company, which will give you two chances to win!
Today’s Featured Company:
It is fun to mix up fashion any time of year, but to have something both stylish and warm is a double bonus. The item I reviewed from Nimli is something I really love – and I will tell you about it below. Nimli is a really neat site I recently discovered, and I am so happy to include them in our gift guide! What is so special about Nimli? Here is a little bit about them, from their website:
Nimli is an online marketplace devoted to providing natural, organic, and sustainable lifestyle products while embracing style and aesthetic. Nimli offers clothing, accessories, home décor, beauty products and much more from independent designers who combine their effortless creativity with our environmentally conscious ethics. We offer an array of ecologically friendly products that are natural, organic, recycled, sweatshop-free, and cruelty-free. We are firmly aligned with a lifestyle that cultivates a green conscious mind, body, and soul.
Nimli was founded in New York City in 2005 by entrepreneur Rajat Arora, a vegetarian since early childhood and a keen advocate of an organic way of life free from cruelty. Conscious of the pertinence of preserving the environment, Rajat created Nimli with the vision, hope, and philosophy of making it possible for people to adopt a sustainable lifestyle through an extensive offering of green products and services.
Nimli is one of the most environmentally mindful retailers due to our practice and policy that requires all designers to ship their products directly to our customers. This results in placing a much lower carbon footprint by eliminating the unnecessary step of shipping items to a warehouse for future re-shipment. Further advancing this model and striving to become completely carbon neutral, Nimli purchases Green Tags to offset the carbon released from shipping, energy consumption and other business activities.
We embrace a way of life that supports goods that do not cause suffering and damage to the environment. Living in such a manner involves cultivating products and services that avoid harm to animals and prevent the depletion of the Earth’s natural resources.
Not only do I love that they have an impressive selection of green products, but they have these products for the whole family! The item I reviewed is the Azuri Wool Wrap in Taupe {$24 ARV}. When I was asked to pick my top three color choices I really had a hard time. There are so many colors to choose from for the wraps. Below is only a sampling of all colors available:
There are so many things that I love about the wrap I received, but one of my favorite features is how lightweight it is. I frequently have hot flashes, and I tend to not wear heavy items. The Azuri Wool Wrap is just the right weight and provides just the right amount of warmth. It can be worn as a scarf, wrap or shawl, and can be worn with just about anything. I love the versatility – having so many options with one article of clothing is a huge plus for me. I could easily see having an assortment of these in my closet!
This versatile and finely woven Wool Wrap is the perfect everyday accessory. It will keep you warm and looking incredibly stylish in any occasion. 100% Wool. 72″ length x 22″ width. Imported. Dry Clean. {ARV is $100 – Nimli’s price: $24}
Nimli has much more than wraps. They have fabulous shoes and jewelry, and other clothing. For men they have clothing, shaving sets, gift sets and more. They even have items for the home – very interesting {and even whimsical} items, I might add! I am completely hooked on Nimli, and foresee myself doing quite a bit of shopping there.
Nimli has so many great gift items too. If you are just beginning your holiday shopping, I highly recommend taking a look around Nimli. Not only will you find gifts for everyone on your list – you will probably find a few things for yourself as well!

It is really hard to choose one favorite color; they’re all so pretty. Based on the scarves and jackets that I have, though, I would choose silver if I win. That’s a color that’s really versatile and I don’t have anything like it.
