Coming soon: Hippyshopper shopping directory

Do you have a favourite spot on the web or high street for buying eco-friendly and ethical products?

I already have an extensive list of shops and portals dedicated to selling green goods, from food and drink to fashion and beauty products, and these will be appearing in a shiny new shopping directory later on in the week. But it won't be a complete list without your help, and I'm keen to hear about any great businesses - on or off-line - that you think I should include.

Follow the jump to see a list of categories, and please email me with your suggestions. Shops should either be based in (or offer reasonable shipping rates to) the UK.

Here are the categories I'll be using to divide up the directory:

General Shopping

e.g. Ethical Superstore - places where you can buy any product as long as it's green

Fashion

e.g. Devidoll - stores that stock a variety of organic, fairtrade, recycled and/or animal friendly clothing and footwear.

Green gadgets

e.g. Eco Electricals - the best sources for your wind-up radios, solar phone chargers, standby-busting devices and more

Beauty

e.g. Touch My Face - the places to go when you want a beauty product that's junk free, as natural as possible and not tested on animals

Food & Drink

e.g. Able & Cole - Anywhere you go to find organic, fairtrade, veggie or vegan food and drink (alcoholic or otherwise!), veg boxes or specialist products.

Handmade

e.g. Etsy - where you go to find cool, quirky hand-made stuff that's totally unique and has never seen the inside of a sweatshop

Home and Garden

e.g. Hen & Hammock. Shops selling anything you need to furnish and maintain your home, from recycled, re-purposed or sustainable produced furniture, natural cleaning products or products to help you creat the perfect veggie plot or garden.

Kids' Stuff

e.g. Tatty Bumpkin - Earth-friendly toys, foods and clothes for little ones.
