Reviews - Gifts For The Healthy Family

For the little chocolate enthusiasts... what better present than their very own chocolate-making kit! You can either make up your own version (a good place to buy all the separate ingredients is Detox Your World) or if you want it to come packaged as a kit, why not try Chocolutions Mayan Magic Chocolate-Making Kit. Lots of fun and you can give the end products away as pressies too - so two birds, one stone scenario!

For the indoor gardener, here is a fabulous educational and crunchy salad present, that is also a lot of fun! Introducing Mingo Mung Bean and The Secret Seed Society! This pack comes complete with mung bean seeds, information how to grow them and a very sweet little story book that children will love!

For the mini-chef in your kitchen, you simply have to check out this raw food recipe e book for kids by Joanne Newell. Monkey Mike's Raw Food Kitchen has been written and designed so that children aged 7 to 12 can follow all the recipes and get busy in the kitchen themselves. This is also a great tool for the many home-schoolers across the world who want something fun and educational for their children to follow independently (Top tip - print out the e book for your children and display in a lovely ring-binder - they will love to flick through the pages and take the whole book into the kitchen).

For the young teen who wants to soak in a lovely bath with delicious-smelling aromas and fragrances that won't irritate their skin, Raw Gaia have a beautiful selection of products that will enliven their senses and get them used to using cruelty-free, skin-loving ingredients. I know at least five children who would love the Raw Chocolate Orange Bath Melts!

For the outdoor adventurer, why not treat them to a hand-knitted ethical frog hat! The Ambler, made by workers in the Himalayas with fair pay, is sweet and funky, will fit perfectly in their back-pack and comes in four lovely colours!

So there you have it - my five favourites this year! There are other great ideas for presents out there so if you have any more suggestions, please do add them to this post!
