The Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand have put together a guide to shopping Fair Trade gifts this Christmas. We are proud to be part of the Fair Trade guide and to be acknowledged for the Fair Trade practices that are a core part of our business focus here in Ghana.
At this time of year, when consumerism is at it's peak, it is more important than ever to be mindful of the product choices and brands we choose to support.
Doing your research can be time consuming and so we appreciate the work the Fair Trade Association has put into this guide to ethical Christmas shopping for you.
There really is something for everyone - from homewares, jewellery, bags, clothes, children's toys, wallets, face masks, perfume, games, journals as well as food and drinks. You are sure to find the perfect ethical Christmas gift for the whole family.
Below we have collected our personal top pick favourites and you can download the full Christmas shopping guide here.

Call it fake, call it a cheap copy, call it cultural appropriation…
Whatever it is, we do not like it one bit. Why? Because it is the artisan who will suffer. It is the artisan, the innovator, the original idea maker who loses out and it is down right unfair when those with greater resources, those in a more advantaged situation, replicate a product intrinsic to a particular groups culture, for their own financial gain.
You may have seen seagrass baskets identical to our hand woven baskets floating around in large department stores lately. What infuriates us is when these seagrass baskets are labeled and marketed as “Bolga baskets”. Read the full blog to learn how to tell a fake from the true "Bolga Basket" and how you as a consumer can help.
Why should the babies and girls have all the fun? We see a lot of inspiration around for styling the newborn baby nursery - of course we all love that special nesting time. We also see a lot of girls room inspiration around but not as much attention seems to be given to the boys! So we have teamed up with our favourite stylists to show you some unique boys room styling ideas using deep earthy tones mixed with the a gorgeous duckegg blue palette that is very on trend right now.
