Ethical Christmas - visiting friends and don't forget teacher!
Here's some ethical christmas present ideas for friends and teachers. View the gallery of gifts below and read on for more information about the presents.
When visiting friends, we traditionally take a bottle of wine for the adults and a tin of chocolates for their children.
Take a bottle of Fairtrade Wine from the Co-op food store round instead and treat the children to a box of English made Snow Bear Biscuits or Fairtrade Christmas Tree biscuits.
For an extra touch, attach a set of these Indian hand painted bottle stoppers to the wine (£5 from Traidcraft).
For a step up, then have a look at this wine gift set from Traidcraft (£25.00) which includes:
- A bottle of Fairtrade red wine
- Raja wine stopper
- Two recycled wine glasses
Where to buy
