Call it the Copenhagen Effect or the Christmas spirit, but the latest trend in celebrity gifting this festive season is eco-friendly goods.

A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and Pink lead the green brigade and their favourite gift includes a donation to their chosen environment charities on the name of their friends, reported E!Online.

"Stars like Jennifer Aniston and Kristin Davis are promoting the 'Give Thanks' rhinestone T-shirts and Jennifer Love Hewitt always makes a donation to charities in the name of her friends," said personal shopper and gifting guru Lash Fary of Distinctive Assets.

"Stars like Pink, Adrian Grenier, Leo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz are always looking for 'green' gifts like lingerie made from bamboo," added Fary.

Eco-friendly collections by high-end designers like Stella Mac Cartney and Vivienne Westwood are also selling like hot cakes. And then there are the real gifts, the ones stars don't want you to know about, the extravagant toys that might look self-indulgent during these economic times.

"Many stars are privately spending on big-ticket items for those nearest and dearest to them, but publicly they want to be conscious of the economic situation many of their fans are in," said a celebrity insider.
