Greenbelt talks

Order from our online talks catalogue for your friends and family this Christmas. Go paperless and send them an MP3 download link. Or post them a CD. There�s lots of great stuff to choose from.

Generally

Zaytoun Olive Oil is an ethical business established to support marginalised farming communities in Palestine.

The organic box people Abel and Cole do a good Christmas hamper, crammed with indulgent food.

Our associate partners Traidcraft do a range of fair trade jewellery.

And, a good all-rounder, try the World of Good catalogue for a great selection of ethically sourced gifts, houseware and accessories.

Buy a scarf from TwoToo and you get to keep one while the other one will go to a homeless, needy or elderly person in the Birmingham area.

Alternative gifts

There are lots of alternative Christmas gift sites now too, not least our partners Christian Aid, with their Present Aid catalogue.

But also www.goodgifts.org

And Greenbelt regulars Tatenda Trust � who run the vintage clothing stall Solomon�s Glory � are offering budget-priced virtual Christmas gifts this year. All money goes to a school for AIDS orphans in Zambia. More info from tatenda@fish.co.uk (type �Christmas gifts� in the subject bar).

Focus on Bethlehem

Amos Trust, who we share our All Hallows office base with, have a range of great Christmas-y stuff, including:

Bethlehem Pack 2007 � Prayers, meditations and songs compiled from Amos partners, staff and supporters focussing on the situation Bethlehem faces today.

Walled nativity � This is the latest nativity scene from the olive wood cooperative Amos works with in Bethlehem. This poignant and ironic walled nativity is available in two sizes. The smaller size is �1. The larger version (�50) is perfect for churches and you have the option of being able to replace the separation wall with the more traditional stable � should peace reign this Christmas.

Resources

Proost has plenty to download from its site, as well as CDs and books to order, including pocket liturgy books by Grace, Sanctuary, Mark Berry and Sophie Dutton (all at Greenbelt this year). You can buy a subscription to Proost for �60 which gives access to the complete back catalogue as well as new content � words, music or visuals � every month.
