    You could purchase a gift for someone less fortunate than yourselves - the 'Gift of Sight' or Cows'n'Things (Help the Aged) websites both offer items for £5. These gifts have brought tears to many an eye in my family. You can send an e-card, which means it will arrive on time, and is completely environmentally friendly! You can type a message into the e-card so can say Santa rather than your name.

    You can then put an envelope (reused!!) under the tree with a message to check their e-mails? Don't forget to go via a cashback site and to tick the 'claim the tax back' boxes so the charity gets extra dough.

    How about a gift basket of eco friendly cleaning products? Go to ASDA and buy their bamboo cleaning cloths, some distilled vinegar, soda crystals, a couple of lemons and a small bottle of tea tree oil.
