Valentines Day has a way of sneaking up on us. You’ve got Christmas and then New Year’s and then suddenly—it’s Valentines Day! Good excuse for when you forget the holiday, eh, gentlemen?

If that’s you this year and you’re still giftless, how about a little help from your 7 Hopes friends? {Ladies, feel free to show this post to your guy. Sometimes all they need is a little nudge in the right direction.}

Buying fair trade is a beautiful way to honor the holiday of love—love for your sweetheart and for our third-world artisans. Here are some of my top 7 Hopes picks:
