Funky chicken appliqué teacosy from Tearcraft
Keeping tea warm is a serious eco consideration: just think of all that water that you'd otherwise have to re-boil in order to give all your friends a cuppa.
That's why it's a good idea to have a good, insulating tea cosy close at hand, and if you don't want to make your own there are plenty of great looking cosies out there to choose from. This appliquéd 'chicken' cosy from Tearcraft would make a great gift and is made by fairtrade organisation Asha Handicrafts in India (Asha meaning 'hope'). £8.50 at Tearcraft
