Fair Trade Gifts

Fair trade products: the term appears in the news, and is often lauded as a great way for ethical shoppers to put their ideals into practice, but what does it mean? When you buy fair trade goods, you are purchasing an item for which the crafter has been fairly compensated. If the item has been handmade by an artisan, he or she has received wages that will truly help support themselves and their families, not barely-living "sweatshop" pay rates that so many corporations utilize to keep profits high and costs cheap. When you shop fair trade at SevenHopesUnited.com, you'll know that the fair trade goods that you buy for your home, friends, or family are not only beautiful, but help a family across the world live comfortably.

In addition, you'll find lots of eco gifts on these pages, made with indigenous or recycled materials that keep the planet healthy and your home looking great. Our recycled magazine bowl, for instance, is made of multicolored strips that are crafted out of magazine pages; each bowl is handmade and different, providing you with one-of-a-kind decor. Other fair trade gifts, such as our brazil nut candles, use the remainders of natural materials that have been harvested to bring the spirit of nature into your house - a lovely design concept that is sure to attract the notice of your guests and visitors.

If you'd like fair trade products that will stay close to your heart, literally, look no further than the eye-catching offerings on our jewelry pages. With gorgeous necklaces in lariat, Y, and traditional shapes, there's a flattering piece for any wearer's style. Pair your choice up with a colorful African bracelet or twinkling ornate shell earrings, and you'll take style to a whole new level. When you wear fair trade goods from our jewelry selection, you're wearing a true conversation starter - with all the compliments you'll get, you may just want to come back for more!
