THE discerning shopper looking for ethical gifts may find it difficult in the typical high street, but a Haverhill PR firm has won two new clients which can take the stress out of such searches.
Ethical communications company Eurydice PR, run by Lisa Jackson, now counts Norwich-based Natural Spa Supplies and luxury ethical gift website Boutiko among its clients.
Lisa, who uses the stores herself, said: "I am so pleased to be working with
such deeply-committed genuine organisations, who offer the general public greener, healthier alternatives to the products we'd normally be offered in the shops.
"Mass-produced goods are obviously easier to buy but not always made or distributed with ethics or the environment high on the agenda.
"Online shopping is becoming easier and more attractive, and it would be lovely to think these small outlets, run by committed, passionate people, become more mainstream, and that we all get used to buying, healthy, quality goods for the benefit of ourselves and the planet."
Natural Spa Supplies (naturalspasupplies.com) provides naturally-derived, fairly-traded raw skincare products from Morocco, which are shipped rather than flown in.
Boutiko (boutiko.co.uk) sources ethically-produced gifts including bags, candles, stationery and jewellery, which are handmade, locally-sourced and from recycled materials, made to the highest quality.
Lisa said: "The rhassoul clay and argan oil from Natural Spa Supplies are amazing. Even my daughter's chronic eczema has started to clear up."
