As I’m sure you are all know, operation Copenhagen is now officially under way – yesterday representatives of 192 countries began negotiations for a deal on climate change in the Danish capital. Proceedings so far have been standard: politicians are complaining about the lack of freebies and the struggle for global power seems to be taking precedent over concerns for the polar bears. Luckily here at the mydeco squabbles over ruling the world are rare occurrences, so we’ve got plenty of time to make sure that we do our bit to save the planet – one recycled vase at a time.

Thanks to our huge selection of gifts for eco-warriors, joining the green crusade this Christmas couldn’t be easier. We’ve hand-picked 50 of the most stylish, planet-friendly gifts on the market: from eco-efficient doll’s houses to these fabulously eccentric chicken doorstops, there’s something for everyone.

Our gift list proves that sustainable is no longer synonymous with style-free – many top designers are now jumping on the hybrid bandwagon. Take this beautiful frosted ammonite paperweight from our friend Kelly Hoppen: made entirely from recycled crystal, it’s a unique gift that easy on the eyes as well as the earth.
