Yes, it's early days yet, but my experience is that time flies before Christmas. I've started looking for eco friendly and fairly traded Christmas ornaments, and I've found some lovelies! Christmas is a time for giving, so why not take care of both the Earth and the people who live here while shopping?
Not everything is cheap, but these are handmade ornaments which hopefully will stand the test of time so they can be handed down and give pleasure to the next generation. And there are lots of low-budget items as well!

There should be something for everybody at these pages - I'm really impressed with the variety in colours and styles - so have fun browsing! And while you're there, have a look at the other categories, - you might find some great gifts as well!
I found some links here and here, but most of the websites are found through Google searches for eco friendly and fairtrade Christmas decorations.
