TGF Ethical Christmas Gift List: Day 22

Today’s TGF Ethical Christmas Gift List focus is on gifts for grandparents.

Bring a touch of summer to Christmas this year with this Lemon Tree Gift from Tree2mydoor.  The lemon tree should produce fruit up to four times a year and will look great in a hallway, conservatory or outdoors during summer.  There’s the added bonus of  small white scented flowers and the tree is evergreen, so it provides interest throughout the year.  The fruit on this tree is suitable for use in your cooking, so this is a practical gift too.  They are priced at £49.99 for a tree that is about 65cm high.

For a quirky, fun, yet stylish, present try this unusual brooch from Kitty and Polly.  It’s handmade in Northern Ireland from discarded shopping bags and other materials that would otherwise go to landfill.  If you look closely, you can see the soldiers from Hamleys’ Toy Shop bags.  It’s presented in a white gift box and the price is £20.

A classic and stylish choice would be these recycled notecards from Boutiko.  For £5.95, you’ll get a mixed pack of 8 notecards and envelopes that come in a translucent paper pocket which is hand tied with twine.  There are 4 designs in each pack: Ollie’s Orchard, Roses are Red, Le Cateau and Peacock Parade.  The packaging is biodegradable and the paper used to make the cards and envelopes is recycled.  They are made in England.  Boutiko will gift wrap them for you at no extra cost.

For a relaxing, pampering choice try this Calming and Moisturing Soapbar from Bentley Organic.  There’s lavender to relax and aloe vera and jojoba to moisturise.  It’s made from organic ingredients in Yorkshire and is priced at £1.99.

These Pink Kitchen egg cosy’s from Lumme are a great fun gift.  They are big enough to fit comfortably over the egg and the egg cup.  On one side there’s a happy smiling face and on the opposite side, there’s a more puzzled or surprised look. The picture shows the raspberry pink version, but they are also available in aqua blue, so they’d make a perfect his ‘n’ hers present.  They are priced at £6 each.
