Ethiscore Top 10 gifts

The ethiscore.org website presents the ultimate guide to making sure that your gift giving is ethical.
Jane Turner, researcher at Ethical Consumer says: "People might be surprised to see the much-hyped Nintendo Wii in an Ethical Top Ten as electrical goods can be associated with toxic chemicals and poor workers' rights records. But the Wii scores the best of all the games consoles we've looked at."
