Eco-Sexy kit from Babeland
Sad but true: ‘hippy sex’ isn’t a phrase that most people would find erotic. I don’t know about you, but it makes me think of ’60s-style free love, all naked and long-haired in a muddy field.
Thank your deity of choice, then, for Babeland’s (formerly Toys in Babeland) latest offering — the Eco-Sexy Kit. All of the products, from the soy massage candle to the Laya Spot vibrator, are made of natural products and none of the components are tested on or made from animals. So crack open a bottle of fairtrade wine, dim your low-energy lights and enjoy, 21st-century hippy style.

Solar powered water cascade – look, no wires!
Fancy a water feature in your garden, but can’t face the faff? How about this mosaic terracota water cascade? The pump is solar-powered so free to run, and it is stand-alone, requiring no complicated installation at all.
Obviously, it’s not much good for night-time use, but who sits in their garden after dark, anyway?

Review: Way Out Wax soy candles
I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, which means my nose reacts incredibly poorly to artificial scents, with results ranging from nausea to migraines to extreme joint pain. So I tend to be very suspicious of scented goods of any kind – but Way Out Wax has indeed got the goods. I’ve had their essential-oil scented candles in my bedroom for several days now and to my surprise and delight, they’re just making my room smell nice, with no ill effects for me.

The perfume is very powerful – their statements that they usegobs of essential oil are completely true in my book! The candles aremade from non-GMO soy oil, which cleans up very easily, and instead ofdyeing them different colours, the white wax is poured into glasstumblers of different colours. They also come in travel tins that areeven more potently scented, allowing you to purge that hotel stalenesswhile you’re on the road. On the whole I was very surprised andpleased by the quality of their product, and with a Valentine Specialon until the end of February giving 15% off, now’s the time to try themout. [GT]
