Whether you are looking for food, fashion or planning ahead for Christmas, Traidcraft provides you with a quality selection to choose from.
Latest additions include the Traidcraft food hamper, complete with two hand-painted mugs. While it's ideal for Christmas, the hamper is also the perfect gift for a new home - or a treat for a student at the start of the new term.
The popularity of the Chocolate Lover's Gift Set means that tea and coffee lovers now have their own gift sets too. Both sets include ceramic ware from Thailand, hand-painted with the attractive Winter Berries design, which also features in the new range of plates and snack bowls.
For children the new Puppet Theatre from Gospel House in Sri Lanka will stimulate imaginative play, while the matching Hippo Money Box and Purse are great gift ideas.
Traditional embroidery skills add a stylish touch to the practical Embroidered Remote Control Holder from St Mary's in India, which provides work, healthcare and empowerment for about 450 women.
As well as bringing you quality goods from around the world, the Traidcraft catalogue helps you to make the link between the product and the producer. A world map and mini-directory of producer groups help show how your purchase really can make a difference and support Traidcraft's mission of fighting poverty through trade.
As Peter Ouma, a jewellery maker with Bombolulu in Kenya said: "Without Bombolulu it would be impossible for me to make a living. I earn my daily bread here thanks to orders from organisations like Traidcraft so I want to tell everyone: help Traidcraft to help people like me."
