Create an Outdoor Relaxation Center Like the Stars Have 


BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 18  /PRNewswire/ -- You probably aren't one of the
lucky attendees who received an Oscar gift basket worth over tens of thousands
of dollars this year.  For the fourth consecutive year, renowned lifestyle

provided a healthy, restorative Outdoor Relaxation Center that anyone can

"More and more people, including celebrities, are using recycled or
environmentally-friendly products," said Lynn Powers, president of Gaiam.
"Backyards are becoming outdoor living rooms."

To create your own Outdoor Relaxation Center, start with the ultimate in
laid-back summer relaxation, the comfortable, durable and eco-friendly Ultimate
Hammock (retail: $149).  The unique fiber is impervious to water and UV
radiation, yet is as soft and comfortable as cotton.  No tree to hang your
hammock on?  Consider planting the perfect, fast-growing sustainable Paulownia
Tree (retail price starting at $29.00).  The tree matures to over 30 feet high
in three years, has a gentle Jasmine-like scent and will provide home shade in
just 16-18 months.

Fill a Market Basket (retail price $34.00) with your fresh fruit, books and
supplies for relaxing outside.  The thick base, sturdy handle and durable
hand-crafted construction will provide years of use.  Toss in an Organic Cotton
Fireside Throw (retail price from $80.00) and the basket is almost complete. 
The densely woven 100% organic cotton throw with cashmere-like softness will
keep chills at bay on cooler summer nights.  Finally, add in a Relaxation or
Meditation Music CD to unwind too while rocking in your hammock.

Whether seeking solitude or a cuddle with a loved one, these ideas we help you
create an Outdoor Relaxation Center unique for you. Being outside helps you
reconnect with Mother Nature, planting a tree is great for the environment, and
relaxation is always good for the mind and body.  The key to creating an
Outdoor Relaxation Center is to anticipate your needs.  Use citronella candles
to keep bugs away.  Have a table nearby so you can set a drink or book on it
and don't forget the sunscreen.
