Fair Trade Your Holidays
This holiday season, give gifts that give back
As the holidays approach, many of us will be heading to the store in preparation for dinner parties, gift giving, and other festivities.
Last year, U.S. consumers spent over $600 billion during the holiday season. With this amount of spending, we have an incredible opportunity to support millions of producers around the world through our purchasing choices.
There are so many amazing Fair Trade products on the market today, making it easy to find ingredients for any dinner menu and gifts for anyone on your list. And to make it even easier, we’ve rounded up a few excellent gift guides, resources, and recipes right here!
