5 Fair Trade Valentine’s Day Gifts
While the origins of Valentine’s Day are debated, there’s no question that it’s a pretty lovely idea. Whether you celebrate by going all out, or keep it simple, it’s a great excuse to show your loved ones just how loved they are.
And in the spirit of feeling the love, wouldn’t it be good if your gift could not only show your loved ones how much you love them, but also spread a little love for the people that made it, and even the planet while you’re at it? Our Fair Trade gifts are hand crafted by artisans paid fairly for their skill, from materials like recycled newspaper, sustainable mango wood, and even elephant dung! Make this Valentine’s Day your best yet, with the perfect, planet-friendly present.

Personalised Elephant Dung Photo Frame
This unique photo frame is hand crafted from elephant dung. While it might not sound particularly romantic, the paper created has a gorgeous soft white colour and a beautiful texture, and every purchase contributes towards the wellbeing of the majestic creatures in their natural habitats in Sri Lanka. Personalise the frame with a special date, message, or your names, to make a memorable gift.
This simple, eye-catching sign is a great gift to remind them just how loved they are. Display the recycled metal ornament on a mantlepiece, display shelf, or somewhere they’ll see it every day as a little reminder.

Our sari journals make a stunning keepsake Valentine’s gift. Each one is filled with 150 pages of recycled cotton paper, with plenty of room for photos, letters, tickets, and pressed flowers, to tell the tale of your most special moments together. If cerise isn’t their colour, choose the perfect colour for your story from 5 beautiful jewel tones.
Personalised Leather Heart Keyring
A great gift for all couples, our personalised heart keyrings are hand crafted from recycled leather. You can choose any personalisation of your choice, or go for a matching “Mr & Mrs” set. Choose from black, gold or silver foils to give it a little extra shine, or go for blind embossing for something more subtle.
