Everybody likes an Advent Calendar (I’m sure that even people who say they don’t want one secretly do!), so this year we’ve decided to make the whole of EthicalSuperstore into a great big advent calendar. All you have to do is decipher the clue and find the daily treat, and one person each day will win it!

Fair Trees

One of my favourite events in the lead up to Christmas has got to be decorating the Christmas tree.  Christmas shopping can prove stressful (although much easier online!), coordinating relatives can be tricky, and planning food can be a nightmare, but decking out the Christmas Tree with my favourite Christmas decorations has always been a real treat for me.

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.

‘Hosepipe Ban’ can be a dreaded phrase when summer comes round. Those in the South will be more used to living under that threat than the rest of us up North (we’re not often short of rain!), but we’re all certainly used to talk of water shortages and restricted hose pipe usage. Many people think of this as a major hardship, and as gardener myself I can see the grief of not being able to go outside and water the plants. However, if hosepipe bans do come into play again this summer, perhaps we should think of it as a prompt to think about water shortages across the world, rather than just worrying, quite literally, about our own back yards.
