Give green gifts with Boutiko’s homewares and accessories
April 14, 2009 by Clare Saxon
If you don’t know where to get great wedding and birthday gifts with an ethical edge above the High Street alternatives, take a look at Boutiko.co.uk in your lunch break. They stock everything from beach-ready ruffle bags to adorable candles and rustic looking recycled home accessories, that’ll make you look way more thoughtful than you actually are.
“Sometimes the best way to say thank you is with a little token, particularly if it’s something that shows you’ve really thought about the person you’re thanking” says Boutiko proprietor Tara Leaver who makes sure that she personally hand picks everything that goes on to the website.
That is something we ought to remember when buying yet another box of chocs for that special someone who deserves something a little more… special. The site will help those of who lack the imagination to buy something more personal, and hosts a wide range of ethically made and sourced products to suit most budgets and tastes.
It’s not that we don’t care about finding the right gift, but when you are a busy working wonder-being, it is hard to find the time to take care over your choices. One thing we love about the site is the ability to shop by ocassion. This saves even more time, because you know you’ll get a suitable gift by clicking on ‘housewarming’ or ‘christening’. Who said shopping for others was a chore?
The ‘Love’ sign pictured would make the perfect surprise wedding gift, if you’re allowed to buy off the list. It is handmade using reclaimed wood and water based inks before being carefully distressed for a dreamy beach look and is yours (or theirs) for £25.
So embrace the return of spending a little more time on saying thank you, and give green gifts with gusto. No more last minute newsagent buys!
