A Caring Christmas

By Anna Heywood on Nov 16, 09 10:16 AM

DAY ONE - INTRODUCTION AND STOCKISTS

As part of a five day special, award winning environmental campaigner and Journal Blogger Anna Heywood shows us the best ethical Christmas gifts on offer.

Yule love the range, the quality and the sheer inventiveness of the ethical gifts on offer this Christmas.

No smelly patchouli soaps here, just luxurious, funky and fun products which will be a talking point on Christmas day and beyond.

We are lucky to live in the cradle of ethical consumer action, with organisations such as Traidcraft and the Ethicalsuperstore.com on our doorstep.

This means that a purchase for the planet is also a purchase for the North East, so your money is being doubly well spent.

The reason that the quality and range improves each year is because of people like you. When you buy these products it drives demand and innovation.

The demand for ethical goods and produce shows no sign of abating, with Ethicalsuperstore.com, amongst others, reporting increased growth along a backdrop of recession.

Christmas is about caring, sharing and giving which makes ethical gift buying at this time of the year even more poignant. So please, when you are doing your Christmas shopping this year, take the time to consider some of the presents shown during this special and lastly have a very happy Christmas.

When doing your eco shopping it is all ways hard to find the right eco or green gift at Christmas. Also there is all ways perception that they are going to be more expensive.

Thanks for the great eco gift tips / ideas.
