Green Gifts for Christmas

 

OK so it is possible that you may want to buy people something as well as a Feelgood Organic Hamper for Christmas! But don't forget that last orders for Christmas delivery are only 12 days away on Sunday 20th December at midnight.  Don't miss out!

 After you have placed your order with us here's some other great green gifts you could buy.

There are 4 days left to get a gift from organic t-shirt company 'Hairy Baby'. Great t-shirts with very Irish slogans, you can even have a CSI hoodie or t-shirt made with the name of your town on it.  I know someone who might like a CSI Athy shirt.

The Cultivate Centre in Dublin City Centre has lots of great gift ideas from books to eco-gadgets.  You can pop in or shop online.

The Arboretum Life & Garden Centre in Carlow offers trees delivered to your door.

Or if you prefer you can have a tree planted on your behalf by the WWF.

Another Carlow based company Greenside Up are offering gift vouchers for their gardening courses and design services.

Although not based in Ireland a special mention has to go to Who Made Your Pants one of the most ethical companies I've ever come across.  These ethically produced knickers would make an ideal gift for me (hint hint!). 

And finally gift vouchers for interior design by Earth Balance Interiors.

If I've missed out on any great green gifts I'd love to hear your suggestions.  Please leave a comment below.

  

Focus on Organic Choice -producers of our organic Christmas cake

There is something special about a Christmas Cake, it's the only time of the year that I really indulge in fruit cake so a good rich moist slice of it always brings back memories of pine needles and excitement from my Christmas Past.


For this reason I was delighted to take on new Irish supplier 'Organic Choice' to provide us with our luxury Christmas cakes.  Topped with toasted marzipan they not only taste fantastic but they look great on the Christmas table.


Marion Hearne founded Organic Choice after discovering she had a wheat allergy.  Having a sweet tooth and being a keen baker she looked for an alternative to the regular wheat flour, eventually settling on spelt.  The results were popular with her husband and friends who thought the cakes tasted, not just as good as her previous cakes, but even better.


Encouraged by the reaction she completed a course at the Cooks Academy and Organic Choice was born.  All her cakes are handmade and certified organic.



Marion's 'grab and go' Dark Chocolate and Almond cake was highly commended at the National Organic Awards earlier this year.


I'm delighted that we are able to offer her cakes as part of our new gift collection but be warned we only have a few in stock so make sure you place your orders well in advance to avoid disappointment.

Announcing our new product range.

The Midnight Feast

The Jacob Marley

This week has seen the launch of the new range of organic Christmas hampers, occasion gifts, new baby gifts, and corporate gifts from Feelgood Organic Hampers. It seems like we have been working on this new collection for ever and it is great to finally see the new products online.

Some of the most exciting additions to our range this year are the products by 'Bambu'. Created on fair trade projects around the world the bowls and servers are made from certified organic, sustainably grown bamboo. Bambu is a stunningly good example of a company founded on corporate social responsibility (CSR), looking through their website it is clear that no stone has been left unturned in creating the guiding principles of the company. The products themselves are beautiful and we are delighted to welcome them to the Feelgood Organic Hampers family.

Another welcome addition to this years hampers are the Natural House certified organic household cleaning products. Produced from fully biodegradable organic ingredients the 'dish spa' and 'surface spa' are guaranteed to have the least environmental impact possible. As well as being certified organic by the Soil Association they are also Vegan Society approved. We have included them in this years 'New Pad' hamper.

We've only been online with the new range for a couple of days and already the Christmas Hampers are selling well. We are once again stocking the ever popular puddings and cakes by Village Bakery and as we speak several cases of the best brandy butter I've ever tasted are on their way to us.  

If you are interested in ordering a gift, be it for Christmas or any occasion have a look at our website. I'd be happy to talk to any of you about your gift requirements. 

Remember to order your Christmas gifts early to avoid disappointment.
