We can still get to work...

Woke this morning to a couple of inches of snow. Although this means a day off work to most, when you work at home there is no such luck.

It's 2009...

Just a quick post to say a very belated Happy New Year to all our customers, old and new (quite a few return too so we must be doing something right!).

Product of the Month - December

Christmas is almost here and so our product of the month for December has to be the beautiful, hand made, organic cotton Christmas Stockings that are fairly traded and made in India. For only £6.99 they are a stunning stocking for Santa to fill on Christmas Eve. They are generous in size and will fit quite a few pressies in for the kids. If you want something even bigger why not try our Christmas Sack which is also organic and fairly traded.

Product of the month - November

Yes, its nearly Christmas and at Green Eyed Frog we have all our Christmas goodies now in stock. There are some beautiful fair trade Christmas garlands and Christmas Tree decorations made from banana palm leaves. These were very popular last year so buy early to avoid disappointment. New in this year we have some little toy Santas in a pouch made in India from Fair Trade organic cotton - so cute and cuddly!

American Express now accepted

After adding a payment by paypal option last month (and it been used by quite a few people) - we've now added the option to pay by American Express. Although we didn't expect it to be used very much we were wrong as it has!

Seals spotted on the Mundesley coast

On Sunday, when we were at the Norfolk Cottage, we decided to go for an early morning walk. The weather was hot and hazy, better than most days in August. The sea was calm and there was a deep layer of golden sand. I saw something black bobbing up and down in the water a few yards from the beach and thought it might be a seal. Told the family and we all looked in the water. Again we saw the seal come up for air, look around as if to say hello and then swim on. We followed it along the beach and just as we were about to turn back it stopped directly opposite us to pose for a photo. It was an amazing sight, we had never seen seals in the wild before and it seemed so tame. Next time we visit we will remember to take the binoculars!

Product of the Month - September

The Product of the month for September is the Red Football wind-up radio. We tested these on the children when we went camping and they were a real favourite. Our daughter thinks the Pink Hearts wind-up radio is so cool and now all her friends want one...

They are ideal Christmas Stocking fillers and will keep the kids amused for hours and they will never keep pestering you for batteries.

What makes these radios even more Eco is the packaging. No plastic in sight - just 100% recycled biodegradable paper and cardboard.
