It’s so delicious! I’m addicted 🙂
I love the hat! It’s so cute. These look like some great gifts. 🙂
Isn’t it?! I bought myself one and LOVE it.
I might have to get myself one like that, too!
Love that you featured fair-trade gifts this holiday season! I’m really liking that laptop sleeve 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 And me too! I just got myself one. 🙂
Not only are they great gift ideas, you are giving back when you make your purchase – everyone wins!
Exactly! That’s what I love about it 🙂
Fair trade for the win! I received an upcycled rice sack as a gift once and loved it!
That’s amazing! I love my upcycled bags. They’re awesome!
I LOVE that necklace!! I love that these all help out others when you buy them:)
Me too! I love buying fair trade gifts. It makes you and the gift receiver feel so much better 🙂
That chocolate needs to be in my life. It looks SO good!
It’s amazing! Let me know if you try it out. 🙂
Nice list! I’d much rather purchase these types of gifts than the junk available out there! Love those shoes and the necklace!!!! And of course coffee and chocolate…yum!
The chocolate is SERIOUSLY delicious. Let me know if you try it out. 🙂
Great list of gift ideas. I love that necklace. So beautiful!

I am loving the Toms!
Aren’t they wonderful?! And they’re surprisingly comfortable!
Great ideas and I love the cause behind each of these!
Thank you! I do too 🙂
These are some great items and I love learning about new fair trade products!

This is a lovely idea. Fair Trade is such a brilliant cause. I had no idea that Tom’s are making proper shows like that!

It’s so important to be sure that the products we buy are fair trade! I totally agree!
Isn’t it?! I love fair trade.
Great twist to a holiday gift guide! I really like that necklace.
Thank you, Nasya!
Divine Chocolate is the best. Just saying.
It’s my favorite! Plus it reminds me of my host family from when I studied abroad in Ghana. 🙂
I love that messenger bag, I have been looking for one like this…I am checking out the link right now!
It’s my favorite bag now! Plus it has the thumb print of the woman who made it, which is awesome 🙂
I have never heard of this idea ‘fair trade’ before – I’m going to have to look into it. It sounds so interesting! I love the items you have shared! So trendy!
Please do, Rachel! I love fair trade things.
I love that teal necklace! Great gift guide!
Thank you! That necklace is my favorite 🙂

They’re both super comfy!
