Bamboo towels & 10% off at Nigel's Eco Store

Bamboo, it turns out, has more uses than just creating a gorgeous backdrop in The House of Flying Daggers. It's also being spun in to everything from socks, flip flops and furniture to today's latest incarnation: the humble towel. The reason I mention it is because it's also an incredibly eco-friendly crop - it grows fast and, like hemp, needs no chemicals to help it along. Nigel's Eco Store is selling 70 per cent bamboo/30 per cent cotton towels for £5.50-£17.50, depending on whether you buy a face cloth or a bath sheet. In act of magnamity, it's also offering  Hippyshopper readers 10 per cent off all its green goodies - not just towels - 'til the end of January. Just enter the code Eco0106 at the checkout.
