It can be hard to find the right gift for that someone special and even harder to go eco-friendly. We have made it easy with our top 10 eco-friendly gifts for 2011.
- We just can’t go past the great range of organic cotton cushions, purses and baskets from Ourlieu.
- For people on the go and who love to travel we love 321 water bottles. These bottles feature an inbuilt plunger style filter to ensure great tasting water without all the nasties (and they look great too!).
- For kids and babies (although we do know a few adults who use them) we suggest eco-friendly lunch boxes and cooler bags by So Young Mother. Available in a range of colours, with each featuring a funky design, they are lead free and BPA free.
- Still looking for the baby? Perhaps some cute clothes by Babysoy USA. This range of baby clothes is made from soybean fibre and organic cotton making them cool in summer and warm in winter.
- Olive & Joy make a beautiful range of linen tea towels that are a great gift.
- For stainless steel water bottles and lunch boxes, Naturally Sustainable has beautiful designs and a great range of sizes to suit the whole family.
- BYO Coffee Cups are a great way to reduce waste. These cups are made from food grade silicon and are dishwasher and microwave safe. Available in a wide range of colours and sizes.
- Reusable bags just got stylish with a great range from Apple Green Duck. From shopping bags though to bags that are great for the beach (little holes let all the sand fall out, while keeping your valuables secure inside).
- Finding organic skincare for babies and children is easy with this great range by Babies Only. With products with names like ‘Kiss it better balm’ and ‘don’t bug me’ insect repellent, they are the perfect gift.
- Keeping with the skincare we love the Myrtle & Moss range of hand blended natural body lotions.
All of these great products are also available through the eco effect.
