The Best Fair-Trade Gifts to Give This Christmas

Anyone else feel like gift getting is harder each year? I don’t know if it is a value shift for me or something else, but it’s been a struggle wanting to make sure each gift is intentional (and not just getting a gift for the sake of buying something).

This year I’ve felt really encouraged to put together a fair-trade and socially conscious gift guide. Honest moment, this is in some ways a new area for me. Fair-trade companies are awesome, but switching over from cheap and easy, is well, not cheap and easy. But I love the idea that spending money this year can go towards gifts that are both beautiful and supporting businesses that are doing things right.

The best fair-trade gifts to give (under $100) this season

 

01. This brass Aria ring is not only simply beauitful, but 100 percent (!) of proceeds go to benefiting girls and women escaping human trafficking
02. Loving these Ankole cowhorn candlestick holders handcrafted in Uganda.
03. This gorgeous Diamanta throw looks crazy soft and is handwoven in Peru.
