Anyone know of a good shop that sells unique (and fairly practical) 'green' things?
TIA

What would be a good example of an eco friendly gift?

Handicrafts?

[canuckinhk]

no, not really. i'm putting together a gift basket for a friend of mine who's very eco minded. i've got a couple of things, like a Sigg water bottle (aluminum, reusable etc.), a stapleless stapler, some organic cotton hand towels and skincare.
i've just had a heck of a time finding stuff/ideas. i was hoping there was a shop in town where i could find some interesting and practical eco-things.

any ideas are very much appreciated too

You could try these:

www.xtremegreen.com.hk
www.fairtrade.hk
www.www.globalhandicrafts.org

They are local social enterprises and charities selling fair trade, eco friendly and organic clothes, foods and handicrafts with shops around HK.
