If you are looking for unusual T shirts produced by a company with ethical standards then try I Dress Myself.
An independent screen printing business established in 2006, they hand print limited edition shirts (posters and bags) from the heart of Nottingham and ship world-wide.
Designed by a small selection of artists (many local to the city), and printed on organic cotton, using water based inks, I Dress Myself have found an interesting sector of the market for themselves. They have clear ethical principals, print using ecologically sound materials, bank ethically and produce some stunning, and unique designs.
I just received Peter Conway’s Dead Rabbit T shirt as a gift from an inspired member of my family. A limited edition of 200, the quality is impressive, the design hilarious and I know that I now belong to a very exclusive ‘club’ of 200 people around the world who have something special which supports ethical standards and inspiring artists. Great present!
With the festive season just over the horizon this might be the place to source some unique quality gifts online. They package their products in recycled materials and have an easy to use website where you can view their entire collection. More details at www.idressmyself.co.uk

Ethical (Art) T Shirts
Eco Printing Online
In an Internet driven, electronic, age, the humble business card still appears to have a place. Now, if you combined our enthusiasm for things online and the opportunity to hand someone a card with your details, you would be on to a winner- which is just what Moo do.
London based printing company Moo are about to launched their new eco business cards which are 100% recyclable and biodegradable, use 100% recycled paper and are chlorine-free. Lots of other printers offer the same, so what makes Moo different?
Every single card can be printed with a different image and you can order as few as 50!!! You simply upload as many different images as you like, directly from your computer, (or photo storage sites), and they print each one onto an individual card.
This seems ideal for businesses with a variety of products - one card for each item - or for domestic use so that you can have cards made of you holiday snaps.
Cost is around £10.99 ($21.99) for 50 and you also get a free carrying case to keep your card collection in. Moo ship word-wide and speak German, Spanish, French and Italian.
If you register for their newsletter they will not only e-mail you the moment they start taking orders for their new eco cards but also give you 20% off your first order!
