Let’s be honest: sometimes “shopping your values” isn’t so simple. Like how do you know what products are really ethically sourced and environmentally friendly? Or how do you find a balance between your pocketbook and shopping ethically? Enter our holiday gift guide, full of sustainable gifts for every person on your list!

Here are the Fairtrade gifts at the top of our holiday list this year:

For the self-care lover

Dharma Fairtrade‘s soaps and candles will delight all of their senses! The only Fairtrade cold process soap and candle maker in North America, Dharma Fairtrade makes all of their soaps with Fairtrade shea butter sourced from Burkina Faso and candles with Fairtrade coconut oil sourced from Sri Lanka. Your loved one won’t believe how good they smell (all while doing good!).

For the chocolate lover

The winter line of chocolate bars from The Good Chocolatier is to die for! Choose between the Maple Crunch Pecan, Peppermint, Pistachio & Sea Salt, or Honey & Raspberry (or go for a gift bundle!). Perfect for sweet tooths and for bakers.

And the perfect stocking stuffer? Theobroma‘s limited-edition candy cane dark chocolate batons! With their rich peppermint flavour and silky dark chocolate, they’re sure to be a hit with anyone.

For the one who loves to be cozy

The cotton percale bed sheet set by Takasa is simply the coziest ever. These light, organic, and Fairtrade sheets regulate the body’s temperature, making them ideal for hot sleepers. And why not complete your gift with bathroom essentials, like towels and bath mats?

For the tea lover

A good cup of tea on a winter evening? Irresistible. And Four O’Clock Tea‘s winter collection takes unwinding to the next level! Gift some of their unique flavours, like Chai Maple Pecan, White Chocolate & Coconut, Chocolate Mint, or Gingerbread alongside a book for the ultimate relaxing bundle.

For the coffee lover

Love to accompany your gifts with a great story? Café William‘s limited-edition Colombia ANEI coffee was transported from Colombia to Québec City by sailboat, reducing carbon emissions by about 90%! This medium-bodied roast also offers a great balance sure to please all palates.
