10 Great Green Christmas Gifts for all the Family

December 19th 2007 10:19
Yes it's the season to spend lots of money on other people, but that needn't be a bad thing. Think about all the good you could do by purchasing a gift that not only educates the giver, but could change the life of the person who made the gift. Then it really would be the season of good tidings!

1. For Him: Recycled rubber massage thongs from Neco Really Long Link

2. For Her: Fair Traded Rose Piped Clutch Bag from Taylor and Khoo – help support orphanages in Cambodia. Go to Really Long Link


3. For the Baby: A Fun Puppet Set of Elephant, Rabbit and Monkey made from recycled fabric by the Hmong tribal women from North Vietnam. Check them out at Global Conduct
Really Long Link

4. For the Kid: Get them a Fairtrade Footy and teach fair play and fair trade at the same time
Really Long Link

5. For the Teen: Go the unwrapped gift and save on energy and resources. How about an experience gift such as surfing lessons? Check out Red Balloon at Really Long Link

6. For Mum: Keep Mum’s skin safe and happy with a lovely Capeline Ribbon Braid Hat from the NSW Cancer Council shop, in various suburbs or online at
Really Long Link

7. For Dad: Help him support human rights by putting the `World Press Photo Yearbook 2007’ in his Christmas stocking. Available from Amnesty International Really Long Link


8. For the work Kris Kringle: Got ten big ones to spend and want to do the right thing? Buy your chosen colleague ‘Change the World for Ten Bucks’, published by the Pilotlight Foundation and available at all good bookstores.

9. For Corporate Clients: Get your corporate pals a shower timer with the company logo on it: great advertising and you’ll show them how much you care about both them and the environment. Check it out at Todae
Really Long Link

10. For the person who has everything: Give them the gift that gives twice. Choose from a variety of charitable gifts to people in developing countries such as goats, pigs, seeds, or veggie gardens. Check out the whole unwrapped range at Oxfam Really Long Link

Yeah, thanks Harry. I think it would be better with some piccies, so I'll spend some time over Chrissy working out how to do the blog thing properly!
