I love this notebook! Not only is it 100% ethically produced, I simply love the name of it. Ok, so it might be because my first name can be shortened to Betty...

The notebooks are made with soft organic cotton, and are available in several stylish colours.

Whether you want to use it as your 'to-do' list or to jot down notes for your blog, this will make writing so much more fun!

Available at Eco Age for £8.00.

I love decorating my home with unique and quirky things. And this beautiful map of Britain is definitely on my Christmas wish list this year. Not only does it look fantastic, it is also hand produced in the UK and printed on 100% recycled card!

The graphic is made up of the text of place names around the UK, so for any fellow non-Brits and born-Brits it is not only cleverly created but educational too. Carefully hand produced, the print is made using the silkscreen printing method and is printed onto off-white recycled card made from 100% de-inked post consumer waste. Art that is actually rubbish!

Available in slate and blue from ecocentric.com for £37.99 + delivery.
