Quiz: What green gift did Stephen Fry buy his mother for this Sunday?
1) Flowers
2) Chocolates
3) A plot of conservation land in Cambridgeshire
Yes, the answer's 3: Fry has once again proved he's a zeitgeisty kind of guy. This time he's tuned into the trend of spurning eco tat gifts for green non-materialistic ones, a shift that took place for Christmas pressies years ago and has since begun to infect wedding lists and now, mother's day.
If you suspect protecting land won't put a smile on your mum's face, here are some more trad green gifts:
• Make your own photo cube
• Eco perfumes
• Organic and low carbon champagne
• Ethically-sourced jewellery
• Organic-certified natural beauty products
I'm sure that's just the tip of the melting iceberg. What other recommendations do you have for green mothering Sunday gifts, from the material to the ones that don't require wrapping paper?
