I sincerely meant to post this before Christmas, as suggestions for Christmas shopping.
I managed to do almost all of my Christmas shopping in a way that I legitimately feel proud of. I may have spent more than if I purchased more easily attainable gifts at Target, World Market, and the Mall, but every single penny was worth it. I planned ahead, shopped on fair-trade online stores, and have been receiving packages every day in the mail!
So fun!
I'm sorry I did not share the wealth with all of you, but this is for the future! Not just for Christmas a whole year from now, but ANY other shopping you need to do throughout the year. You could do all your gift shopping here! And you could do much of your shopping for yourself here!
Wonderful site with a WIDE variety:
Friends who live in Haiti work with these women:
http://www.haitiancreations.com/
(I do not know if everything on this site is necessarily "fair trade" but most of it is hand made by creative folks in the U.S. and much of it is crafted with recyled products. It is such a fun site for random items!)
This store is wonderful and there are many shops you can actually go into like in Austin, Houston, Dallas

Great Coffee! You can get set up on a monthly plan to get all your coffee here, or just buy one at a time!
Perfect, cute, fun, sandals! And I can tell you all about my friend who works for them in Uganda!

Those above are all sites that I have purchased from myself so they definitely have my stamp of approval. The below sites just came up when I googled "fair trade shopping." They look wonderful and will look into them in the future.
It's that simple!!!
