7 Fair Trade Gifts

December 8, 2014

7 Fair-Trade Gifts

With the holiday season in full swing, there’s one thing on everyone’s mind: shopping.

From stocking stuffers to large gifts, there’s always a way to give a little more with your gifts. I love giving fair trade gifts because you’re giving more than just a gift to a loved one; you’re giving an opportunity to someone else you may have never met.

How cool is that?

So here’s my roundup of my seven favorite fair-trade holiday gifts.

1. “The Bella” in Cranberry – Krochet Kids International
2. Tushabe Layered Necklace – Noonday Collection
3. Rwandan Musasa Coffee – Trade as One
4. Milk Chocolate with Toffee and Sea Salt – Divine Chocolate
5. Black Suede Women’s Desert Wedges – TOMS Shoes
6. Mend Mini Messenger and Laptop Sleeve Bundle – Invisible Children (now unavailable)
7. Recycled Flour Sack Crossbody Bag – Global Mamas


Have you ever gotten fair trade gifts for or from your loved ones? Let me know in the comments!
