Gifting Inspo 2024

This Christmas why not invest in sustainable, fair-trade, feel-good gifts? We have plenty of ideas to share from some of the brilliant organisations we work with around the world.

Skincare your thing? Then check out the gorgeous seaweed products created by a fair trade women’s co-operative in Zanzibar.

Try these beautiful Himalayan Angels  to add a celestial something to your decorations this year – created by @dolls4tibet a craft organisation supporting Tibetan refugee communities in India.

Clothes, calendars and cards are on sale at the Gurkha Welfare Trust – their work in Nepal supports Gurkha veterans, widows and the remote communities where they live in the Himalayas.

If you’re looking for sustainable, quality gifts that also give jobs in the community, The World Fair Trade Organization shop lists some of the wonderful glassware created at Chako – a zero-waste and upcycling station on Zanzibar island. ‘Chako’ means ‘yours’ in Swahili, and our co-directors Mark and Katharine can confirm that they love their spice jars they bought in the Chako shop when they went to Zanzibar Island this summer!

The World Wildlife Fund offer a wide range of gifts, including some sweet Christmas decorations or endangered animal adoptions which support their work.

If you love Sun Bears, support the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre with your gifting. They have a great selection of items for all the family, from t shirts to cuddly toys.
