Readers will of course know that I am 'besotted' with bamboo - it is such a sustainable product, and we can easily ditch many items made of plastic, timber, and expensive fabric when we discover the possibilities with bamboo. It has been slow coming, well, perhaps I should say, slower than I would like, but almost every day I discover how many new products are making into mainstream retailing.
The large retailers have office, kitchen, laundry and other house hold items in bamboo - and these are regularly featured in the catalogues that are stuffed into our letterboxes on a regular basis.
Today, while on the hunt for some advertising products I visited 1300epromo at Manly (Qld) and while I found what I was looking for, my eyes caught a display of bamboo work socks. I am now sitting at the computer wearing a pair of these socks - they are long, black comfortable socks (warm too, but I know on a summer's day, they are also cool!), which I will get a lot of wear out of. These are 92% bamboo, and are 'awesome'.
When I was chatting with Tammy Taylor of 1300epromo, she told me that they also stock bamboo polo shirts - and she showed me some - 50% bamboo, and 50% viscose - in navy and black. Either would make a great gift too - and with Father's Day not far away, it might be a good place to go to get something a little different. Even if the Dad in your life shies away from 'socks and jocks' for Father's Day or other gifts, I am sure he will be thrilled with the bamboo socks or a polo shirts.

I love the refreshing photos of the bamboo. I am now looking at all the things that you can have with bamboo as part of them.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the photos of the pelicans. Love those birds. Reminds me of camping on the way to Birdsville near a creek of water and awaking to it covered in pelicans in the early morning light. Julie
