We love to make ethical shopping easier for all, with a selection that hopefully includes everything you might need, all in one place. We also aim to dramatically reduce the impact of shopping on the environment compared to traditional high street stores and supermarkets, by avoiding having a big energy-intensive store, or contributing to the plastic bag problem.

Jeans are the nation’s favourite trousers.  Probably the world’s favourite trousers. Match them with anything. Dress them up, dress them down. Heels, trainers, flip flops, flats, hiking shoes and boots, t-shirts, jumpers, tunics, shirts and jackets – any will work!

I don’t know about you, but I find it a challenge to find a good pair of jeans that I like and that fit me well. Usually, about once every three years I find a winning pair that I cling to, wearing them whenever I can. Eventually they inevitably wear through and usually (for me) – in rather unfortunate places.

The Cost of Being Lost

All of us around the globe at one time or another felt that uneasy feeling of not knowing exactly where we are or how to get to where we need to be.  This uneasy feeling has a name, that is hard for many of us to vocalise.  It’s called lost, and in reality it can cost us more than just our pride.  There’s time, fuel, energy, stress, relationships and even the environment to consider too.  Just imagine if everyone drove exactly where they needed to be using an optimised route, without unplanned detours, how much fuel could we collectively save?  It’s an exciting thought.

Raving about Saving

These are just some of the reasons why we are thrilled to introduce our range of Garmin Nüvi Satellite Navigation systems, all equipped with ecoRoute, fuel saving software on board.  It’s not just fuel you could save using one of these, but all the things that seem to disappear when you’re lost; energy, calmness, relationships, the environment…

Around the office, we’ve come up with our top five ways you can save with our Garmin Nüvi Sat Nav range, we think you’ll agree it’s well worth a read.
