Fair Trade Gifts That Do Good
Happy Holidays! Check Out These Gifts for Everyone on Your List
The holidays are just around the corner! Time to make your list, check it twice, and start finding gifts for all of the important people in your life. And while those homemade sweaters you gave out last year were memorable (and even fit a few people), why not make your gifts Fair Trade this year and extend the goodwill one step further- to the people behind our favorite products?
When you choose gifts marked with the Fair Trade Certified seal, you’re saying “yes” to:
- Strong social and environmental standards that respect people and planet
- Additional money paid directly back to farmers and workers with every Fair Trade sale
- Unique products with a story to tell
This year’s Holiday Gift Guide features some of our favorite gifts that do good. From that foodie friend to the family’s littlest holiday helpers, we’ve got something special for everyone on your list.
