Eco Luxe will treat you to the finest eco-friendly products, brands and services that money can buy: from men's and women's fashion, jewellery, accessories and cosmetics to bespoke travel, design and home furnishings.

The future's green. Sustainable is sexy. Recycling rocks. But... just because it's got to be ethical doesn't mean it can't be luxurious too. On the road to environmental-enlightenment, we're luxing it up.

'Tis the season of goodwill...


and goodwill should be spread. So how about making an entire Sri Lankan village’s eco-luxe wish come true with the gift of a water well? Random I know?! but completely do-able now that World Vision have launched their Alternative Gift catalogue. Every gift makes a life changing impact, from buying a bog (the mind boggles!), to buying a fishtank for five families, or a motorbike for a healthworker. With 67 gifts to choose from (all have been requested by the communities they will affect in 16 developing countries in Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa and South America), the catalogue has something to suit and appeal to everyone.

The gift of a water well costs £1,356 (or how about the gift of building a classroom for children in Sierra Leone, £3,389?). See www.greatgifts.org or call 0845 600 6445 for a free brochure.
