Hi everyone! If you are still trying to figure out unique
gifts for the Holidays, make a Fair Trade gift… the gift that keeps on giving!
Shopping Fair Trade means that your gift is made by paying
fair prices and by providing ethical working conditions to workers in
developing countries. Not only will your
gift be helping a worker in another country, but you will also have a unique
gift for your loved ones with a beautiful story behind.
This is a great and unique way to shop if you are low budget
as well, since your gift will have so much meaning.
I have attached some websites that are certified Fair Trade;
I hope you join me in this Fair Trade challenge for the holidays!
