Shinzi Katoh has been making cute, whimsical tote bags for a while now, but now the kooky label has branched out, transfering its designs to water bottles and lunchboxes, allowing you to store and save food and avoid the waste and expense of bottled water when you're on the go.
And today, we've got two lovely prizes to give away from Shinzi Katoh: a 'what is that on your head' water bottle and a lovely red and blue lunchbox, just in time for stashing away in the 'back to school' cupboard!

If you're reading this blog, the odds are you care about the environment. But you also like shopping, and let's face it, the two desires don't always gel as nicely as we'd like them to.
Have you ever vowed to switch to organic after your next payrise? Worried about how well your 'hippy' deodorant will survive a yoga class? If so, Kate Lock's book is for you. She's a self-confessed shopaholic who set herself a series of 'eco challenges' to green up her retail habit with some amusing results that I know I can certainly relate to. If you'd like to read about Kate's eco adventures, I have one copy of Confessions of an Eco Shopper to give away.

The green blog-o-sphere seems to have gone competition crazy this week, and it's been a pleasure bringing so many fantastic prizes to your attention.
I've no intention of stopping just yet though, and the latest that's entered my radar is a small but perfectly-formed bokashi bin up for grabs at My Zero Waste; a blog charting the progress of one family's quest to reach the challenging goal of generating zero waste. They run a competition every month, in fact, so it's well worth checking in for eco-friendly freebies.

Everybody's got to eat, and food is something we come into contact with several times a day. So why not make it a focus of your efforts to be a bit greener?
The all new Green Food Bible is a great reference guide to making the right culinery choices -- and we've got five copies to give away to hippyshopper readers. You'll find it a handy shopping companion, as it advises on the truth about the organic foods you buy, and whether they're as green as they seem; the reality behind 'green' jargon and labelling and how to create your own 'green' kitchen.

I've just fallen a little bit more in love with People Tree after reading about a competition they are currently running in association with Responsible Travel, offering a prize that I'm already daydreaming about -- and I can't even enter!
The winning entrant gets a luxury weekend for two at the Secret Garden Suite at Millbrook in Devon, as well as £300 to spend on People Tree clothes. The Secret Garden recently won Gold in the Green Tourism Awards, and has all kinds of fascinating eco-innovations like bio-mass heating and solar panels. But you'll be far more interested in checking out the super king-sized four-poster waterbed and the koi carp pond. All you have to do to enter is answer a few short questions.

Glastonbury tickets may not be in high demand this year, but a limited edtion Hunter wellington boot made with festival mud in mind looks likely to be the must-have accessory of the season.
Made in associationg with WaterAid, the boots will be worn by some "well-heeled" people at this year's Glasto, and some extra special pairs will be auctioned after the event to raise money for the charity, which works to provide safe, clean water in areas affected by drought. A limited-edition run of the boots will also be sold from July 2008 through the Hunter website, which is currently running a competition to win two Glasto tickets and a pair of the it-boots. And hey, if you don't want to see Jay-Z, you can always just keep the boots...
