Holidazed: Help Kickstart a Cocktail Cookbook share

Holidazed is more than a book of cocktails - it's cover to cover food porn with delicious snack and drink recipes!

What does making cocktails have to do with green living? Not much, unless we're talking about the new cocktail book from cooking superstar Jerry James Stone. Jerry's cookbook - Holidazed - is going to feature seasonal, sustainable recipes for holiday libations and snacks, so you can party without the green guilt.

Check out Jerry's Kickstarter video for a taste of what his cooking philosophy is about and a sneak peek at the project:

I mean, how could you resist that earnestness, right? Plus, his recipes are freaking amazing. They really do show you how delicious and fun it can be to eat vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Want to help support Jerry and get some fantastical gifts along with your donations? Check out his Kickstarter page here!

The Bloombox: So You and Your Plants Can Rock Out share

Simple materials and technology combined make for a fun and plant-friendly iPhone/iPod dock.

As an urban ag enthusiast and a green-thumbed gal, I love to see plants incorporated into products, especially when it's not over-thought or complicated. In the age of Portlandia and urban ag proliferation, where "put a bird on it" has become "put a plant in it" some plant-centered products take the simple act of growing at home a bit too far. The Bloombox manages to keep it simple. Most iPhone/iPod docking stations leave something to be desired, but the minimalist design of the ceramic Bloombox is enticing. The Bloombox both amplifies your phone's speakers up to 30% and provides a home for your favorite succulents.

Created by Nicholas Hyde and Brennan Conroy of Portland, OR, the Bloombox has just over two weeks to go before completing their Kickstarter campaign. With only $304 left to hit their goal, I'm fairly certain they will join the ranks of thousands of successfully backed projects via crowdsourced funding.
