A number of ethical charity cards were sent.
My daughter sometimes demands ethical gear from the Viva catalogue, which I am happy to get for her.
A bit more inspiration could be used in creating a range of desirable ethical fun gifts for young children?
I gave copies of Plant Based Nutrition & Health. I bought myself a scarf, a diary & a teapot, all made in 3rd-world.
This year I was so incensed with the greed of me, me, me. Not me exactly but I really think we should use the occasion of Xmas to putting a bit in towards others. Anyway after my little ramblings - I asked anyone who was going to get me anything to get something that had to with a charity - they all know it has to be vegan.
And /or to give me some money that they would have spent on me instead, I do not NEED anything. I managed to collect £170 for the local hospice. I will do this in future, it also helps others to think!
I sent a card I made myself from junk packaging and pictures cut out of magazines etc
I got 6 huge different bars of vegan chocolate! All completely different in make or flavour! Also a fantastic vegan belt that looks so funky!
Non-animal fleece, jewellery, Elizabeth Shaw mint-crisps, Moby C.D - and a subscription to "Ethical Consumer" from my mum.
Got the wonderful "Raising Vegetarian Children" book for Christmas email Christmas card a couple of animal sponsorships.
I 'adopted' animals at Hopefield Animal Sanctuary for several people for Christmas and I intend to do the same thing for birthdays during the year.
We received a soya milk maker which we tried out for the first time this morning.
