Ideas for eco-cleaning kit (Christmas pressie)

My SIL and BIL have just bought a run down old house, which they are doing up. They are also fairly ethically-minded, so their Christmas present from us is going to be the Better Basics book of eco household recipes, along with a few of the more pleasant and/or interesting ingredients.

What would you include? I'm thinking along the lines of a couple of essential oils, maybe some beeswax and some sort of organic, hippy, lentil-weavy type of cleaning cloth. Does that sound OK or has anyone got any more creative ideas? Online sources would be good, too!

The whole thing needs to be postable.

e-cloths better than lentil ones

This is a good company to give you some ideas.

Agree, MrsB. Lentil ones tend to streak. The red ones are the worst.

Glad you said that MrsBadger. Have just come across these cloths which look very tempting.

Although at £10 for four, we might be splitting the pack!

Spray bottles is an idea - could get a pretty one.

B&Q vouchers very practical, but they are rather good at choosing appropriate and personal gifts, so I feel the need to wrap something up

Joking aside - e-cloths arr fantastic - best thing ever for glass/shiny surfaces. Lakeland is quite good for stuff like this.

Can't advertise myself as I don't pay but I stock soapnuts and soapnut multi-surface cleaner (which can be made from the soapnuts).

Also www.treehuggaz.com does a eco-cleaning gift set.
