We use clean waste paper collected from local sources and 100% natural, corn-based, biodegradable "peanuts" to help protect your order during shipping.
You can also add gift boxing for $5 additional to each item.

How do redeem a coupon code/promotion code/key code/source code when placing an order?
To redeem a promotional offer code received from a Gaiam catalog, Gaiam email promotion or other Gaiam affiliated source you may enter the offer code at either Catalog Quick Shop step 2 (in the Catalog Key Code/Web Code box) for those that have exact item numbers available such as catalog shoppers or you may enter your offer code after you have added items to your shopping cart and started the checkout process. During the checkout process enter your offer code at Step 1: Billing in the Catalog Key Code / Web Code box located to the right side of the page.

Please enter your catalog key code or web offer code exactly as stated from the source. You must meet all conditions of the offer in order to receive the promotion. You may only apply one promotional code per order as promotional offers cannot be combined or applied to previous orders.

Promotional offers are not valid on Go Zero tree donations, select renewable energy items or e-Gift certificates unless expressly implied. Shipping offers are only valid for the first shipping address on your order and regular shipping charges are applied to any additional addresses thereafter. Oversized and expedited shipping charges still apply to all orders unless expressly implied. Other restrictions may apply.
