Fair Trade Tuesday: 10 Fair Trade Holiday Gifts

By Emily Copeland · Dec 01, 2014

Fair Trade Tuesday is December 2, 2014, and we couldn’t be more excited to support the worldwide fair trade movement. For more information on this iconic day, check out the Fair Trade Tuesday Facebook page.

Fair trade is something that is really important to us at That’s Caring because it ensures that products are made with good, quality, sustainable ingredients that come from good, fair working environments. When you shop fair trade, you are ensuring that disadvantaged communities are given jobs that pay fair wages, have good working conditions and utilize only good items in the process. Support these fair trade communities this holiday season by purchasing gifts like these 10 fair trade holiday gifts for your loved ones.

 

  1. Eco Lips Lip Balm

Everyone needs a little lip balm at some point or another, and when you purchase from Eco Lips, you get natural lip balm that is handcrafted in the USA by a mother of three. Eco Lips’ products come from a mission of satisfying the needs of every customer and contain nearly all organic ingredients. They have plenty of environmental initiatives in place, including a solar power project for the state of Iowa, and some products are even vegan!

  1. Patagonia Outdoor Clothing & Gear

Any outdoorsy people in your friends or family list will love gear or gift cards to purchase new things from Patagonia. All products made by the company come from impeccably treated sources, including things like down (which is never live-plucked, never force-fed and 100% traceable). The company also practices extensive social and environmental responsibility, keeping the planet happy and healthy and the workplace safe, far, legal and humane.

  1. Senda Athletics

This company has a vision to change lives through soccer, and they’re doing it one fair trade soccer ball at a time. These products are designed to respect the environment, the people that make them and the sort of soccer as a tool to change lives. The company provides good working conditions, fair wages and partnerships with nonprofits that focus on people building self-esteem through soccer.

 

  1. Spicely Organic Spices

  1. Prestige Wine & Spirits Group

If you have wine drinkers in your gifts list, Prestige is a good choice for fair trade gifting. Award-winning wines and spirits from around the world are develop and packaged with state-of the-art processes.
