Fair Trade Gifts and Decor

Gifts with Humanity is a site that belongs to the Fair Trade Federation. Members are committed to providing fair wages and good employment opportunities to economically disadvantaged artisans and farmers worldwide. So you can feel good about purchasing artisan-made pieces from this site.

I found lots of clever items in the Home Decor section, including the wonderful tin lion shown below.  This piece comes from Zimbabwe, where there are no lions.  Other gift categories include wearables, stationery, dining, and instruments.

Another item that really caught my eye was found in the stationery section. I think these notebooks, made from handmade paper and decorated with natural elements, would make splendid gifts for any occasion.

If you happen to have a gallery, there is information available on how you can get involved as either an affiliate or a wholesaler of the beautiful work available here.  Fair trade products would make an interesting addition to many gift stores.
