Here's a gift with a bit of a difference for anyone who loves recycled products - it's made from recycled tyres, and it's a Recycled Tyre Planter.

This Fair Trade planter is made from recycled tyres and it's been hand painted with garden flowers around the outside. 

It's produced by Noah's Ark - a handicraft organisation based in India.  It gives mostly female artisans a chance to work from home, and helps them become self sufficient.  It also offers benefits such as education and medical treatment to the artisans and their families, so your gift is making a difference. 

It's £29.95 and you can buy this gift from Natural Collection

This adoption will help secure a safer future for seahorses, by protecting them and their ocean habitat.

There are two species around British Coastline, the Spiny Seahorse and the Short Snouted Seahorse – they can be found from the Shetland Isles down the west coast of the UK (and around Ireland) and along the south coast of England.  There have been sightings on the east coast as well.  You can find out more about seahorses here.

This week is Orangutan Awareness Week, designed to raise awareness of orangutan conservation efforts and the threats these adorable animals face in the wild.  

Those of you who are looking to adopt an animal as a gift may be interested in adopting an orangutan from the Orangutan Foundation, who organise the Orangutan Awareness Week.

Orangutans face many threats from people.  Their homes in the rainforest are being destroyed by humans for palm oil, illegal mining, illegal logging and forest fires.   So many are being killed and young orangutans are being orphaned. 

The Orangutan Foundation is a UK based charity working to support habitat conservation, so protecting the area where orangutans live, rescuing orangutans who have been orphaned in the wild as their parents are killed through forest fires or illegal logging and deforestation, raising awareness through education and supporting scientific research.   

Your gift can support this work by adopting an orangutan.  Adoptions cost from £30.00 for a year.  

All adoption money goes directly towards helping orphaned orangutans in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve.  

When you adopt an orangutan with the Orangutan Foundation, you will receive:

• An adoption certificate with your name on it

• An orangutan fact-sheet

• An Orangutan Foundation sticker

• A soft-toy orangutan

• Updates on your adopted orangutan every six months
