Eden's new range of inspired gifts for busy people
September 1. 2011
From specially designed mugs that let you carry three in one hand to indulgent pamper-hampers, the Eden Project in Cornwall has put together a range of gifts to help people to save time, along with ideas about how to make the most of it.
The educational charity’s online shop showcases the very best of food, drink, plants and unique treats – many of which come from Westcountry producers.
Each gift is either recycled, organic, sustainable or fairly traded, meaning that they have added value.
