The GreaterGood store aims to make a difference. Part of a network of sites that encompasses world hunger and literacy, breast cancer, rainforests and animal rescue, this is where the ethical and charitable shopper can indulge their materialist inclinations without a heavy heart. Items range from artisan jewellery, such as hand-carved Peruvian llama earrings, to Guatemalan coffee. A portion of the purchase price of each item goes towards such noble causes as funding mammograms or preserving endangered rainforests. www.gearthatgives.com

BLOG OF THE WEEK
One of the many themed blogs of Nick Denton, founder of Gawker Media, Gizmodo has established itself as the must-read for all gadget fiends. Reports touch on the Final Fantasy hyper-energy drink Potion, military radar jamming devices, and predicted woes for the BlackBerry. However, the most useful section at present is the 2005 Holiday Gift Guide that has reviews on the latest digital cameras, laptops and HDTVs. www.gizmodo.com

PODCAST OF THE WEEK
From Lovejoy and David Dickinson to The Antiques Man. A guy who probably wouldn’t be seen dead in an Australian jungle, Kevin Jackson, of Flog It and Bargain Hunt fame, talks about the antiques and collectables (silhouettes and Victorian pipes, for example) that he finds for his eBay shop, Delphis Antiques. Jackson also answers any queries you might have about your own antiques. Just e-mail him with photos, if possible, and he’ll respond quickly. www.podcats.co.uk
