Nigel’s Eco Store Reveals its Christmas 07 Gift Range

Deck the halls with a seasonal green selection…

October 04, 2007 - Press Dispensary - Nigel’s Eco Store (http://www.nigelsecostore.com), an ethical online retailer, has come up with a selection of environmentally friendly eco gifts for Christmas 07 that will help people save money, reduce their carbon footprint and live a greener kind of life… long after the turkey and trimmings have been cleared away for composting.

A welcome alternative to the heinous experience of festive high street shopping, Nigel’s practical, functional, and desirable range - chosen from the best recycled, organic, green and eco friendly products around – makes choosing a thoughtful present easy and painless.

Nigel loves his new range of solar and wind up goods: they make perfect Christmas gifts for the boys, tantalising travel and eco home alternatives, or simply mean Dad can spend more winter nights in the shed. Nigel’s favourites include: the Solar Powered Shaver; Freeloader Portable Charger (for charging mobiles, digital cameras, sat nav devices, iPods and more); the Wind Up Eco Media Player, Wind Up Digital Radios; and, especially for Dad, solar powered car battery chargers and Solar Mate lighting kits for that special shed or garage.

Every good Christmas comes complete with a house full of ravenous guests! With this in mind, Nigel has sourced a range of contemporary tableware to seal those eco credentials including: environmentally friendly goblets made from the iconic 450ml swing-top Grolsch beer bottles; Tom Dixon's functional tableware made from bio-degradable bamboo fibre eco-plastic; and - most essential of all - a variety of eco friendly kettles so the right amount of water can be boiled for the visitors, saving electricity, water, money and time.

For kids of all ages, Nigel has put together a selection of solar powered toys and games - including cars and helicopter kits - that provide hours of endless fun. The toys are educational, and best of all, no batteries are required. So, they’ll actually work on Christmas Day and the kids won’t have to play with the boxes instead!

For items that do need batteries, Nigel is stocking the rechargeable USBCELL. By opening the cap and plugging it into a USB connector on any laptop or PC, the AA battery can be charged easily – so no need to search for that missing charger again!

One last thing Christmas is guaranteed to produce is waste. Approximately three million tonnes of it are dumped in the UK during Christmas - enough to fill 120 million wheelie bins*. Nigel has the answer to run-away refuse with a range of bins that are anything but rubbish! He’s sourced stylish home recycling units designed to help householders separate glass, plastic, cans and paper, Convert stackable recycling bins designed to address lack of space, and a large supply of degradable refuse sacks.

Also new this year is the wall mounted can crusher, complete with bottle opener. It squashes those Christmas aluminium drinks cans into council recycling bins without them overflowing… saving much embarrassment in front of the neighbours.

Finally, for those festive finishing touches, Nigel is stocking a range of recycled wrapping paper and cards, solar festive lighting (which charge even in the British winter ‘sun’), and other household essentials that will help people through the holiday season with their green principles intact.

Nigel comments: “At Nigel’s Eco Store, we really do have something for everyone this Christmas, from the big surprises down to the trimmings. Why fight your way through the high street hordes when you can buy an environmentally sound gift online that will almost certainly last longer, while helping to keep the planet alive?”
