Whilst many folks are happy to buy any gift for a birthday or celebration, a lot of people are starting to become more selective about what they buy as presents, where its come from and what kind of impact it has had or will have on the environment.

Ethical Superstore have got the whole list covered because they only sell gifts that are ethical, fairtrade and/or organic. It’s an ethical revolution!

Their great selection of presents include delicious food hampers containing organic and fairtrade food and wine, some rather nifty eco gadgets such as the Trevor Bayliss Ecomedia Player that I mentioned sometime last year, unique and funky recycled glasses and goblets and some beautiful fairtrade jewellery.

Here are my current Top 5 Ethical Gift ideas:

The Glow Brick

From the people that made you Sun Jar, comes Glow Brick. Another fantastic invention that deserves a mention and quite frankly a beautiful work of art which makes it a top gift in my eyes. Hey, a gift doesn’t always have to be practical - as long as it looks nice on your coffee table!

So what is it? It’s a real light bulb which has been trapped in a solid acrylic brick. It’ll recharge with natural light during the day and by night it glows in the dark.

The Glow Brick is just £19.99 - Buy it from EthicalSuperstore.com

Papier Mâché Bowl

This colourful bowl is very simple but has a multitude of uses. Not only does it look fantastic, it can also be filled with a heap of goodies such as chocolates or toiletries to make a custom made gift hamper for someone.

Made by a non-profit organisation in South Africa, so you know the money you pay will go back into their community and continue to do good work amongst the locals, providing education, support and healthcare.

This Papier Mâché Bowl is only £9 - get it from EthicalSuperstore.com

Recycled Mouse Mat

In an effort to use some of our ever growing waste, the company Remarkable have designed just the thing and produced a range of useful recycled goods from our rubbish.

This mouse mat is made entirely from an old car tyre, not only is it green but it’s functional and can be used at home, the study or in the office.

This Recycled Mouse Mat is a bargain at just £4.25 - buy it from the one and only EthicalSuperstore.com

Butterfly Necklace

A two stranded necklace ending with a mass of beautiful beads and charms at the end, including a pretty butterfly detail was made in India by a local co-operative of artisans.

This Butterfly Necklace can be bought for just £8 - get it for someone’s birthday from EthicalSuperstore.com

Noah’s Ark

This wooden Noah’s Ark features a host of handcrafted wooden animals and makes a gorgeous gift to celebrate a new arrival or to decorate a nursery.

The wooden Noah’s Ark costs £40 - from the EthicalSuperstore.com

And I can’t leave without mentioning their range of ‘green’ greetings cards and recycled wrapping paper - a perfect complement to go along with your ethical pressie.
