One thing is for certain and that is the success of the Fair Trade organization as well as its basic concepts and principles means that it's spreading like wildfire. Once poverty stricken and dis-empowered workers on all four corners of the globe are seeing their standard of living, as well as their hopes and dreams uplifted. Of course more people means the variety of fair trade gifts now is wider than ever.

Endless Choices in Fair Trade Jewelry

Jewelry is the first thing that comes to mind for a good many gift givers and the selection in Fair Trade Jewelry now is simply incredible. In fact you can now buy truly authentic tribal jewelry from countries like Mali, Indonesia, Peru, Vietnam, Mongolia and the list certainly doesn't stop there. All of it hand made by highly skilled artisans.

Delicious and Healthy Fair Trade Teas and Coffees

Another great Fair Trade gift idea, is delicious organic teas and coffees. So many of the teas and coffees that are Fair Trade certified are grown on co ops and independent farms that are run entirely by the workers that grow and pick the teas and coffees. Quite often, they not only work the land but they also live right on the plantations as well.

Fair Trade Coffee Is Closer Than You May Think

Whats so great now about Fair Trade coffees now, is that you don't have to look far to find them. In fact, you can simply head on down to your local Starbucks coffee shop because they recently announced that they will now be brewing and selling 100% Fair Trade coffees. However; make sure to keep in mind that this doesn't include their non-coffee gifts that you will find in their cafes.

Fair Trade Organic Products are Certified Organic

Organic Fair Trade chocolate is yet one more great gift idea. Not only is is this type of gift tasty and healthy but these types of certified chocolates are also highly affordable. The fact is that far too many people don't connect pesticide use with chocolate, tea and coffee growing but they couldn't be more incorrect. Of course Fair Trade organic products are certified to be tested organic and pesticide free.

New Designs and Superb Quality in Fair Trade Kitchenware

Kitchenware is yet one more Fair Trade gift thats now available online. In fact, you may be surprised at the level of creativity and craftsmanship that goes into creating so much of what you will find in the way of these gift products. At the same time, the quality of the materials including the steel that is used to manufacture the cutlery is very high.

Handmade Fair Trade Wooden Toys Will Last a Lifetime

It seems that each time another news story about children's toys that contain poisons in the plastics, lead in their paint or small pieces that have come off and choked a baby, sales in Fair Trade toys shoot up. Also remember that handmade wooden toys put together by skilled woodworkers will last a lifetime and be a toy that a child can cherish and keep into adulthood.

Ecologically Sound Fair Trade Stationary Just Keeps On Giving

Stationary is yet one more fantastic Fair Trade gift idea. It's all made with ecologically sound paper manufacturing practices and comes with unique print designs you simply won't be able to find in your local stationary store. Add to that that this is a gift that just keeps on giving, as you will be remembered each and every time your recipient takes it out and uses it.
