When you’re choosing Christmas gifts this year, why not buy something which will help save them money. These gift ideas are healthy for the planet and their wallet – what more can you ask in the current climate?
Eco-eye Elite
It’s amazing how much electricity we waste. Using this handy gadget will alert you to that wastage, therefore reminding you to turn off lights and electrical appliances when not in use – and your electricity bills will plummet as a result.
Gas energy saver
This great energy saver is cheap enough to be given as a little something extra this Christmas. It’ll save on gas bills for anyone with a gas stove, paying for itself in no time.
Large water saving showerhead
Whilst taking a shower is far better for the environment than a bath, the amount of wasted water you use in a shower is surprising. With this easy-fitting, water saving showerhead the water is mixed with air, increasing the power of the water jet from your shower and saving water at the same time.
Eco kettle
Why boil enough water to fill 5 or 10 cups when all you want is a cup of tea or coffee? With an eco kettle you can see exactly how much water you’re boiling, cutting out the wasted energy. With kettles perhaps the most power hungry appliance in our homes, paying a little extra attention here will save you a lot on your electricity bills.
Ecoballs
Throw out your washing detergent – it’s no good for the planet anyway. Use these Ecoballs in your washing machine and your clothes will be washed in a much kinder way.
Bean and seed multi sprouter
Growing your own food not only saves money at the supermarket, but also gives you peace of mind in how the food you eat has been grown. No artificial preservatives, insecticides or toxins – you can’t get more locally grown food than this.
Waste log maker
What a great way to save on energy bills and the amount of rubbish you send to landfill. A great gift idea for anyone with a wood burning stove or fireplace, use the Waste Log Maker to turn old newspaper, cardboard and other burnable rubbish into solid logs to burn.
