Planet & Purse Friendly Gift Guide

It shouldn’t cost the earth to save it… and that’s why we like to think our Fair Trade gifts are excellent value for money. Each one is handmade from sustainable materials wherever possible, by an artisan paid fairly for their skills and expertise. 

Our handy gift categories help you to find the perfect gift within your budget, whether you’re looking for a little gift for the neighbours, or something more special for the ones you love. You can explore gifts for budgets under £10, £30, or £50, or even use the handy filter to select a more specific price. But while we’ve got you here, why don’t you take a little look at a few of our favourites? We’ve created this handy purse friendly gift guide to make your search easier.
