How Eco Gifts Can Help You Give More Than Just A Gift

May 20, 2010 · Filed Under Shopping · Comment 

Eco Gifts Eco gifts almost seem to have turned back the hands of a clock that has been inexorably dragging us away from handcrafted, quality goods made by people who are seeking to better themselves and their community. The days are long gone of being able to walk down the street to visit the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker and all manner of individual crafts people for homemade, quality goods.

Today it all seems to be machine manufactured plastic built by robots in seconds and sold in supermarkets to provide everybody with identical goods. This is one of the main reasons why eco gifts have become so popular today, because more of us are realising that we’ve been very close to losing the opportunity to buy gifts which are special, unique, and which don’t simply use up more of the earth’s limited natural resources in order to punch out something bland, uniform and lacking soul or originality.

Football Souvenirs

May 4, 2010 · Filed Under Shopping · Comment 

Football Souvenirs Every week, for ten months of the year, thousands of football fans fill stadiums across England to watch Premier League Football, while millions more watch the many televised games across the globe. Football is a passion rather than a past time for most of these fans and that’s why they sport their clubs football souvenirs to show their allegiance to their favourite team.

The passion of football fans extends beyond just watching the game, its the passion and emotions that are experienced during a game, the chanting, songs, banner and flag waving and the feeling that as a supporter you have motivated the team, intimidated the opposition and even influenced the referee. Research has shown that fans truly believe they must attend the game to help the team to win, not just to observe the event, thus making them feel they are their teams 12th man and an essential part of the club they support. Two thirds of fans have actually admitted to crying during a game.

He (or She) Who Hesitates Is Lost? Not Necessarily!

March 5, 2010 · Filed Under Fashion & Beauty, Shopping · Comment 

Leather Jackets Ever been shopping and put off buying something you’ve seen – only to return a week, a day or an hour later and find it gone? We’ve all been there, and ‘dash’ doesn’t begin to cover it. It’s even worse when the item was on sale. You spend the next however long lamenting the lost bargain, and then our 20/20 hindsight kicks in: "I should have asked them to put it aside". Shopping online doesn’t protect us from such distress, either. The ‘in stock’ counter taunts us as it drops from ‘1′ to ‘0′ when we refresh – and no amount of yelling at the screen will bring it back. Or so we’ve heard.

Luckily, you can get around this, should it ever happen to you. If you’re shopping for leather jackets online, and find that what you want is no longer available, you can email us, and hand over your vital measurements. We’ll not only check that there’s really, truly no more in stock, we’ll check what we do have to make sure there’s nothing else that will suit your measurements.

Ethical Corporate Gifts Being ecologically aware is an important part of the long-term plan for any business these days.

Leather Jackets: a Coat for all Seasons

February 18, 2010 · Filed Under Fashion & Beauty, Shopping · Comment 

Leather Jackets It’s a fact – leather jackets are making a comeback! Some might say that the classic leather jacket never really went out of style, but face it, when you’ve seen a guy wearing a men’s leather jacket that is a little past its use-by date (think short, black, and diagonal zippers), it can look not-quite-trendy. In their many forms, leather jackets can be worn almost anywhere and with almost anything. Even the old aviator-style jacket can still look cool, when teamed with the right outfit and accessories.

Some great bargain buys can be picked up in clearance sales. Cheap leather jackets are now being sported by the younger generation due to their versatility and low cost. They can be worn with anything, and their affordability makes them attractive to the younger crowd. They can be seen to and from work (and even some schools), in town with pals or out with families.

Ethical & Natural Beauty Gifts

February 4, 2010 · Filed Under Fashion & Beauty, Shopping · Comment 

Ethical Beauty Products A phrase often used these days is ‘natural beauty’ and now, in more ways than one, beauty really is only skin deep. Since 2007, over 2,000 ethical skincare products and cosmetics have been launched each year making ethical beauty one of the biggest growth markets in the cosmetics industry. It’s testament to the fact that consumers are waking up to the dubious manufacturing processes of mass-produced cosmetics and are demanding a greener way to improve the appearance of their hair and skin.

Europe leads the way in ethical skincare

In 2007, the UK, along with France, accounted for 74 per cent of all ethical beauty product launches proving that as a country, we are trying to align our environmental outlook with our shopping habits. Choosing to buy products that are produced using natural sustainable materials, that do not harm animals in the testing process, and are manufactured in a way that reduces the negative impact on the environment, shows the market is gradually being driven by the ‘green factor’ and not by profit margins alone.

Ethical Kitchen Products Consider for a moment how much energy is used in your home and you’ll soon realise that the kitchen is probably the main culprit for consumption. The average kitchen will have a fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, oven, gas hob, extractor fan and washing machine.
