Even if you don’t throw a Tu B’Shevat seder—yes, they do exist—you still can host a green fete fit for Laurie (not Larry) David. Here are some fun ways to spruce up your table for the New Year of Trees.

1. It’s a plant. No wait, it’s a candle. This clay-pot candle is the perfect multi-tasking centerpiece for your shindig. Place it on your table unlit by day and fool your friends. Light it at night for a warm, green glow. Each one is six-inches in diameter and costs $18 — Buy it!
2. Leaf the decor to us. These 5 by 5.5-inch votive holders are festive, colorful and pay homage to trees with their delicate leaf patterns. Set of 6 for $120 — Buy it!
3. Save trees. Instead of using paper, try these cotton palm-tree napkins, which not only can be reused, but also picture one of the symbols of Israel. And since dates are one of the seven species enjoyed on Tu B’Shevat, we couldn’t think of a better image to sport on your table. Set of six for $26 — Buy it!
4. Buy bamboo. These environmentally-friendly alternatives to paper plates may only be intended for single use, but they are fully biodegradable. Bambu Veneerware contains no bleaches or dyes and is made of 100% bamboo, one of the most sustainable plants on earth. Package of 8 for $14 — Buy it!
5. Branch out. Though Tu B’Shevat isn’t exactly about formalities, we couldn’t resist these twig place-card holders. Even if you’re featuring open seating at your ecofest, scatter these around the room and affix photos of the seven species to drive home the point. Set of 3 for $12 — Buy it!
6. Write your wrongs. Pledge to combat global warming with these adorable twig pens. They make the ultimate party favor for the kids at your table. Set of 3 for &7.50 — Buy it!
7. Go for good wood. Yes, there is such a thing. Good wood tends to come from sustainable plantations, instead of endangered forests, that also ensure air and water won’t be polluted in the process. So go ahead and buy these hand-painted vases without guilt. Set of 2 for $34 — Buy it!
8. Help Israel bloom. Visit the Jewish National Fund’s website for a quick, easy way to plant a tree in someone’s honor. And go to M&M Roses to get fresh blossoms shipped directly from a moshav to your door. Read about their inspiring story and treat someone you love to a beautiful and meaningful bouquet for holidays or Shabat.
