  9. I'm a college kid on a college budget, so this gift card would allow me to eat local/sustainable food, that I typically can't buy, without breaking the bank.

    I liked "the little things" blog, and my local whole foods on facebook.

    My favorite healthy recipe is the paleo barbecue sauce on this website http://paleodietlifestyle.com/homemade-paleo-condiments/.
