No, this doesn’t mean taking the china ornament that aunt Sarah gave you last Christmas and wrapping it up for grandma’s birthday (although this approach shouldn’t be ruled out). Recycled gifts are all about making something new and original out of old, discarded or broken objects. You will be amazed at our range of gorgeous items, from truly stunning recycled glass bowls and drinking glasses to cute handmade mobiles for children. Finding the perfect gift for a friend or relation can be both easy and ethical when you look at the wide range of beautiful things you can buy through our eco shopping website.
For men, there is a wide choice of stylish eco clothing including organic t-shirts, cool beanie hats, vegan baseball boots and rubber tyre flip-flops. Alternatively, solar powered and wind-up gadgets are great fun to give as a present, and ethical too. The wide range of fair trade gifts includes leather bound journals and photo albums, coffee and chocolate. Or how about a belt made from recycled tyres or a funky shoulder bag made from recycled plastic bags?
For women, you will find the most stunning and clever recycled gifts such as a photo album covered with recycled sari material, a recycled glass bowl or richly coloured aluminium vase. Original handmade jewellery, soft leather handbags and wallets all make gorgeous fair trade gifts and are often more beautiful and cheaper than their mass produced high street counterparts.

Why not also consider recycled gifts for children? Young minds are intrigued by the process of creating new things out of old. Our eco shop has some really different, inspiring things to give as gifts for children. For example, they will love the magical quality of coloured pencils made from Chinese newspaper, a solar powered toy carousel or our colourful felt flower hair bands made in Nepal.
