So Thoughtful: 75 Fair Trade Gift Ideas
Kicking your holiday gift shopping into high gear? Here's a great resource to keep the whole process as thoughtful as can be.
With the holiday season officially in full swing, here at Milkshake we're committed to giving you all sorts of ideas for gifts that give back and make a difference in the world. We couldn't think of a better way to kick off our recommendations this year than the very handy Fair Trade Federation Holiday Gift Guide.
Compiled by a key player in the global fair trade movement that works 365 days a year to build equitable and sustainable trading partnerships and create opportunities to alleviate poverty, the guide offers goods from more than 75 qualified sources. Specifically, each gift idea in the guide is in some way involved in a global economic partnership that empowers women, educates children, helps communities grow or works to heal the earth.
As far as we're concerned, the best approach to gift-giving is a truly thoughtful one, and this thoughtfully-presented guide is a perfect place to start.
