For years I have made my own beauty products from store cupboard staples. These products are just as rich and fragrant as commercially produced products, just minus the chemicals and of course a fraction of the price. Just recently I have been swamped with requests for the recipes from my friends. Making your own products also means there is NO expensive packaging to recycle. But that's a rant for another day!! If you'd like me to share some of the recipes I can do. Do you know I think that this current economic climate may stimulate the interest in eco-friendly living.

Your green promo items are excellent examples of what we can now call no-frills eco-chic: well designed, affordable and green. Thanks, John.

We have seen no slow down in eco-friendly promotional items at proformagreen.com. Especially as noted items that companies need to purchase anyway like folder, uniforms (polos & tshirts), pens, pencils, etc. If the green item is in the same price point as traditional items, companies are making the which. One reason I think is because a green giveaway etc says something about your company a traditional giveaway does not, it says you are thinking green whether your are a specifically green company or not. I think it is this added benefit to green promo items, and green commerce in general, that will always keep the demand for green there. Totally.
