Fair Trade Holiday Shopping

First, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the United States! We hope you enjoy a wonderful day surrounded by your friends, family, and neighbors.

We have heard about Black Friday, and want to remind you as you begin your holiday shopping to think about shopping “fairly”, to think about the people that make the gifts that you are buying, and whether they are being paid a fair wage for their work. Our little business has made a huge difference in our lives. Some of us have been able to go to school, some of us have been able to give our children more nutritious food, and we have been able to afford the medical care our families sometimes need.

For those of you who ask about how much of the profit from our sales in the U.S. reach us, well the answer is all of them…we are the owners of the business, and the goal of our selling organization in the US is to cover their costs. To tell you the truth, we are not making any profit now, we are still developing our market, but that is the idea!

So, after you have your delicious Thanksgiving dinner, and start to think about shopping, please think about us! Click on our Etsy store just to the right and see many of our products.

Happy Thanksgiving!
