The UK Soil Association has several green ideas for Christmas party favours this year. The organisation recommends trying organic products in Christmas party stockings when Father Christmas visits.
Green Christmas party and holiday gift ideas include an organic baby basket: “In 2006, sales of organic baby foods in the UK continued to grow by seven per cent, even as sales of non-organic baby food declined. What new mum or mum-to-be couldn’t use a Christmas basket of organic cotton nappies, blankets and baby care products?”
Gift givers can introduce friends to organic products at a Christmas party. Organic chocolate cocoa bushes are grown without the use of pesticides. The UK Soil Association certified organic chocolate tend to contain more cocoa solids than non-organic chocolate and they do not have pesticides.
Donna Air, actor and TV presenter, said: "Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I get really excited about all the extra treats in the house. Christmas day has always been a big deal for my family and I love sourcing local food from turkeys and cheeses to fruit and vegetables.
“By buying organic food from the local farmers’ markets I can avoid any nasties so I can be sure our Christmas lunch has the best possible taste, maximum goodness and as few additives as possible.”
