Hippy Shopper has teamed up with Spreadshirt.co.uk for the launch of their new certified organic cotton range, and we’re giving away £300 worth of vouchers to spend on your own DIY (Design It Yourself) clothes. (To enter the competition click “continue reading…” below.)

Now after all of that excitement, what can I say about this Spreadshirt malarkey? I have three words: bloomin’ brilliant idea. You upload any design or slogan you want, use their design feature to plonk it on a t-shirt, hoody etc. and receive your garment apparently within 48 hours. Spreadshirt now carries five new items made from certified organic cotton. Continental Clothing "Organics" and American Apparel "Sustainables" come in four colours, plus they’ve even got an organic cotton babygrow as requested by eco-conscious parents.

peace%20one%20day.jpgPeace One Day is the story of one man’s attempts to persuade the global community via the United Nations to officially sanction a global ceasefire day; a day of non-violence; a day of Peace. This documentary charts the remarkable 5-year journey of the filmmaker as he meets heads of state, Nobel Peace Laureates, aid agencies, freedom fighters, media moguls, the innocent victims of war and, eventually, everyone who was anyone at the UN. The movie is an incredible insight into what it takes to change the world and how all of us can change the world with the smallest of actions...it is possible. And Jeremy Gilley shows us how.

artemis.jpgThese are no ordinary flip-flops: Chabah shoes are all made under the company's commitment to 'responsible, local, affordable' trading, and with over 40 styles to choose from, they cater to a wide range of tastes. These simple Artemis thong sandals have a gently sloping heel, and come in five different colours; the flat version is the Apollo. Each style is designed by local workers in Northern Thailand.

eurostar.jpgWhen I get bored at work I often start daydreaming about escaping somewhere interesting. I know that cheap flights are a completely irresponsible green sin, but on a long Monday afternoon, those £20 Ryanair fares start to look tempting.

Luckily, before I had time to had time to convince myself that the destruction of the planet is a small price to pay for a winter holiday, I noticed the latest special offers from the Eurostar...

Adili1_1 It's amazing to think that ethical fashion superstore Adili is only five months old, jam-packed as it is with fair trade, environmentally friendly clothing that doesn't compromise on style.

But successful shops are getting younger, and this new kid on the block has admitted it's not old enough to parade itself on the London Fashion Week catwalk just yet. However, to celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight (26th Feb-11 Mar), Adili is offering an exclusive discount for Hippyshopper readers: simply quote 'AD12' with your first purchase, and get 10% off any product. Sounds 'fair' to us!
