gift guide : for the eco-conscious
Considered and well-meaning gifts for those who don't want their home filled with the superfluous. Indeed, there's a lot to be said for gifts with purpose; many of these items inspire and contribute to healthy, self-sufficient and conscious living.
1. Handcrafted by fair trade artisans in Bangladesh, this
sari-inspired hessian basket is the ideal storage solution. 2.
Frugavore* is a great resource for those who want to grow their own, buy local, waste nothing and eat well. 3.
Carbon neutral 8x8 slim box photo frames - currently on sale! 4. A
tempered glass reusable coffee cup*; the perfect gift for a caffeine addict. 5. The most beautifully scented
lime and patchouli gift pack* as well as the
peppermint and lime body scrub* make ideal gifts for those who love to use handmade, organic products on the body. 6. The ultimate
French-made gardener's knife for green thumbs (one of the most well received gifts I've ever given my dad). 7. ...and for the gardener/cook, the very best
vegetable brush*. 8. Sow n Sow's
entire collection of seeds are great for gifts that need to be sent in the post. 9. The
story of a French woman* who reduced her family's waste to a mere 1 litre a year! 10. Little
beeswax candles in mini jam jars* - they look gorgeous on a dinner table or mantle.
