Gifts

At 8th Day you will find lots of lovely things which you might not expect to see in the average healthfood shop: locally produced crafts; Fairtrade gifts including knickers (knickers?); a small but carefully chosen range of greetings cards and gift wrap; a good range of wind up items, including radios and torches; and a plethora of interesting and unusual shopping bags, from 99p to £65.00.

Fairtrade gifts
Felt purses, bags and Ipod cases made in Nepal, Pants to Poverty organic cotton pants, Shared Earth recycled notepads, cards and gift wrap. Also in this category are pants and socks, made from bamboo fibres, for ladies and men in a range of colours. Bamboo is 100% naturally grown, without assistance from man, and as it thrives without using any pesticides or fertilizers, is much more sustainable than cotton.

Locally produced craft items
Button Brooches made in Hulme, Glittermouse Painted Glass from Whalley Range, Inner Tube Necklaces made in Old Trafford; brooches, gloves and wraps made from recycled cashmere knitwear in Hebdon Bridge, fabric clutch bags made in Oldham, hair clips and corsages made in Chorlton...and more!
