Thank you all for your Friday Fun entries. We really liked Ben’s idea to create the world’s fairest compost using Cafédirect coffee from his local café. He wins some goodies from Tropical Wholefoods and a Cafédirect product of his choice.

Thanks also for all of your comments about Haiti. Visit http://www.dec.org.uk/ if you would like to donate to the Haiti relief effort, and keep checking our blog for updates from our Haitian coffee partners too.

Good to see that George Clooney and Co are getting in on the Haiti act. Fair play and Fair Trade. But George Clooney my arse, I’d give him a run for his money any day! Any takers?

I’d fill it up with Fairtrade tiramisu and chocolate pudding ingredients (and maybe a few fairtrade pants!) and send it to my wonderful fairtrade-obsessed boyfriend to keep him occupied while I’m out of the country for four months (at least while he’s not working at his compost).

OK-you know that person with the nasty breathe in your office? Give them a tongue scraper or two, serious pharmacutical (sp?) grade mouth wash, and tons of minty sugarless gum. Maybe a can of lysol too and a surgical mask. Maybe a puke bag from the airplane too.

I would decorate the box first with differently coloured pieces of tissue paper and fill it with love hearts inside the box.I would be inside and when my boyfriend opens the huge box I will come out like a Jack in the Box and ask him to Marry me and he will accept.I would then shower him with lots of love and give him some strawberries and cream which will be in the box but the clotted cream type.There would be a love hearts hamper in there along with bath foam and other nice things.

I’d put a hug and a kiss and send it to my friend who’s emigrated to Australia.

I would put into the empty box, cafedirect coffee, yum, and I would put stephen balwin in there,
he loves his coffee, he loves his jesus christ,
But christ, hate to say it, he’s getting on my nerves,
I would gladly take him down to oxfam.

I would line the empty box with a plastic bag and give it to my local cafe (who already serve Cafedirect coffee). I’d ask them to fill it up with used coffee grounds and give me the box back – then I’d use it to make the world’s fairest compost

I would send a box to Sandra Bullock as she has donated a million dollars of her own money to Haiti and inside it i would place a gold plated halo.

I would put in a fairtrade teabag, a paperclip, a golf ball, a stamp and some bright pink ribbon, send it to McGyver and see what he could make!
