I've used Bunches.co.uk  several times before and they've given me great service.  I've ordered online and when I've had to get help on the phone, they've been really helpful :-)

Here's a gift with a bit of a difference for anyone who loves recycled products - it's made from recycled tyres, and it's a Recycled Tyre Planter.

This Fair Trade planter is made from recycled tyres and it's been hand painted with garden flowers around the outside. 

It's produced by Noah's Ark - a handicraft organisation based in India.  It gives mostly female artisans a chance to work from home, and helps them become self sufficient.  It also offers benefits such as education and medical treatment to the artisans and their families, so your gift is making a difference. 

It's £29.95 and you can buy this gift from Natural Collection

Here’s a gift with a difference - adopt a seahorse!  It’s a great gift for the person who has everything, or for anyone who loves sealife. 

This adoption will help secure a safer future for seahorses, by protecting them and their ocean habitat.

There are two species around British Coastline, the Spiny Seahorse and the Short Snouted Seahorse – they can be found from the Shetland Isles down the west coast of the UK (and around Ireland) and along the south coast of England.  There have been sightings on the east coast as well.  You can find out more about seahorses here.
