Welcoming in the 'New Year'
We’ve all noticed how Christmas ‘shopping’ begins earlier and earlier each year and nobody likes it, as far as I can see. Some of us, old enough to remember, compare this to the ‘Christmas feeling’ which now seems lost before it’s begun because of the long drawn-out lead up to it and the recent Black Fridays and Cyber Mondays etc.
As well as this, a lot of us are also realising that we have and create too much rubbish. We are looking at the wider cost of what we have to buy – its chain of production and its impact on our delicate planet and on those ‘cogs in the wheels’ who so often, to our shame, we find out are being exploited.
The long familiar kind of advice when buying something to eat of ‘would your granny recognise it?’ is relevant too when we think of Christmas gifts. Can we comfortably picture the thing we’re thinking of buying being made, where and by whom?
Health Stores Ireland member stores are good at helping you with this with the foods, the bodycare, the Fair Trade gifts they stock. Why? Because this is how our members think when they choose what to sell. Where is it coming from? Is it fairly produced and traded, is it ethical?
Our shops aren’t sprawling, anonymous warehouses - many are on the main street of your own town. Most often health stores are run by families, some by the next generation of those who pioneered the health trade in Ireland 30-odd years ago. This shares nothing with the nature of most online buying. Christmas shopping in your local health store is personal, it’s interactive. They are keen and happy to help you with suggestions because they know their products - and likely you can have them create a beautiful hamper of your chosen gifts.
Hand-made soaps, luxurious natural skincare, beautiful pure essential oils, attractive eco-friendly cups, unique Fair Trade handcrafts, non-toxic naturally scented candles, delicious proper chocolates and other edible gifts are just a fraction of what’s on sale.
Christmas shopping should be a pleasure, not a panic or a penance, so take time this festive season and step in!
