Ethical on-line Christmas shopping

The economy is going to hell in a handcart, cuts and mass job losses are expected and Christmas is coming. Depressing... but we can do something about it. We can take the pressure of our pockets and the planet’s resources by not spending so much, and we can do our bit for small businesses and worthy causes by spending our money with them.

The challenge...

The economy is going to hell in a handcart, cuts and mass job losses are expected and Christmas is coming. Are we downhearted? Well maybe yes. But we can do something about it. We can take the pressure of ourselves by not spending so much. We can take the pressure off of the planets resources by not spending so much, and we can do our bit for small businesses and worthy causes by spending our money with them.
I have told my dear family that this year we will be spending £5 per person and buying British made goods, or fairly traded items from abroad.
I am going to post links to things I have found that fit the bill, but there may be some things that are suitable for couples that cost £10.
If you want to join me, please post your own finds up here too.
