Christmas Gift Guide ibutrade.c om.au
C H R I S T M A S 2013
“His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.” Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol We love this time of year when the cicadas start their caroling, the mangoes and raspberries start arriving at market and the anticipation of the warm and languid days of Australian on holiday starts to build. Christmas can be a special time to celebrate with friends and family and we love the mix of early morning excitement with the kids (helped on by coffee and panettone on our part) and a long lunch with family. Giving is one of the loveliest things to do, but sometimes we need a little inspiration . . . we’ve compiled a few of our favourite eco-ethical products for giving and decorating. You’ll find ideas gift ideas from around the world and Australia – organic, handcrafted, recycled, Fairtrade, sociallly and ecologically responsible – and there’s lots more to explore in our online store www.ibutrade.com.au. We wish you joy, peace and love this Christmas! May all hearts laugh, and that be enough.
