Another best selling Christmas product, the WWF ‘Fair & Green’ hampers, contain a bounty of products made with environmentally-friendly materials: FAIRTASTE Fair Trade handmade ginger and coffee Cookies, FAIRTASTE Organic Ground Coffee, and wine produced from an agrochemicals-free farm - which protects farmers’ health and preserves valuable ecosystems for future generations. The hampers use minimal packaging to avoid wasteful wrapping. The gift cards and the gift box’s wrapper are printed on 100 percent recyclable paper using soy-based ink. Half of the proceeds from the gift set will be donated to WWF-Hong Kong to support the organisation’s conservation efforts, while the remainder will be used to support fair trade and sustainable development in Hong Kong. Not only is the ‘Fair & Green’ hampers excellent family gifts, they are also the ideal festive gifts for corporations to demonstrate that a company cares about the environment and about corporate social responsibility.

Around the world, Christmas trees create tonnes of waste every winter. WWF offers you an alternative to the Christmas tree:

My Baby Tree
The ‘My Baby Tree’ package directly supports WWF's reforestation efforts in Indonesia’s Rinjani forest on Lombok island. When you buy the My Baby Tree package for your loved one, not only will they receive the miniature babytree™ key chain to nurture, but they will also receive a tree of their own in Rinjani forest. They can check on the progress of their tree by visiting Google Earth.

Symbolically adopting a threatened species for your friends or loved ones is a gift that makes a real difference. Whether it is a polar bear, giant panda, tiger or snow leopard; your loved one will get a deluxe plush toy of the adopted animal, a personalized adoption certificate, a framed photo and a fact sheet about the adopted animal. Best of all, this gift helps support WWF’s conservation efforts to save at-risk wildlife and their habitats.

Animal Adoption Package includes:

• A deluxe plush toy of your adopted animal packaged in an environmental friendly reusable gift bag
• A personalise adoption certificate
• A framed photo of your adopted animal
• A fact sheet about your adopted animal
