With the gift buying season just around the corner, most of us are beginning to think about what items to buy each person on our list. Most of us forget to consider how our choices affect other people though. Traidcraft is an online website with tons of gifts to choose from, all of which are fair trade items that benefit the creators. Items are sold for fair prices and are made with sustainable production so that workers can continue to make their products for a long time.
There are tons of unique items to choose from, so if you’re looking to purchase something for the person who has everything, traidcraft is a great website to consider. Having 6 nephews between the ages of 2 and 8, their wooden toys stand out to me in particular. Little boys can be so rough on toys and plastic just doesn’t hold up. Wooden toys can last a child through their entire childhood and still be passed down to other children afterwards. My 2y ear old nephew is really interested in farms and farm animals right now so I know he’d love the Farmyard Play Set that comes from Sri Lanka.
I have a 12 year old niece who loves owls. It seems that owls are somewhat of a trend right now as I know several women who really like owls as well. The African Garden Print Purse would be great for her. There is also a makeup bag and a larger purse offered in the same print, it would be cute to get both as a set for her.
Or, if you’ve already purchased all the gifts you need or perhaps just want to make a donation you can check out the gifts for life section. This is where you purchase a gift that goes to someone else such as the supporting school gift for life that helps pay to send a child to school.
Do you plan to purchase fair trade gifts this year?

Wow! These would make great holiday gifts. I’ll have to pin it so I don’t forget. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I know I’d appreciate that someone took the time to pick a gift that was fair trade. I love the idea!
