A Gift For:The Eco Couple
Wednesday 24th October 2007 by Shopping Mistress
Shopping Mistress  , the personal shopping and bespoke wedding gift list service - aka Gift Mistress - is ready to solve your purchasing dilemmas for those tricky friends, relatives and gift giving occasions.
I’m looking for a wedding present for an eco-friendly couple.
As high street wedding lists become less popular, more and more couples are choosing alternative gift lists to suit their lifestyles and their needs. And as more of us are becoming carbon-conscious, green wedding presents are becoming all the rage. Here are a few gift ideas that they, and the planet, will thank you for.
If they’re not keen on flying halfway round the world for their honeymoon, there’s no reason why they can’t experience hotel chic wherever they go. Organic his and hers bathrobes and slippers from By Nature or towels from Adili could help turn even a two-man tent into a penthouse suite.
 On their return, the first thing they’ll be hit with is an empty fridge, so if they said no to a list or you’re lacking inspiration then make your present the first they enjoy on their return and order them one of Villandry’s new Green Hampers. Available from 29th October, they’re every eco-aware shopper's dream gift; the UK's first eco-sensitive hamper and the ideal conscience-free present.
 The word “recycled” isn’t often associated with glamor. Whilst many people might reject the idea of a recycled wedding present, they might just change their minds if they saw the amazing things at ReFound Objects This vintage glass cake stand is so beautiful that it could well be recycled from The Savoy.
 If the couple are 100% organic, chances are they’re into their gardening and the outdoors. Help them “put down roots” in their marital home with a gift from The Gluttonous Gardener . Buy them a big enough tree and it could last as long as their marriage!
And they’ll never need to chop it down for firewood with this genius paper logmaker from Crocus . We’re sure it’ll make their friends “green” with envy as they enjoy a romantic fire after an afternoon spent devouring the Sunday papers.
