Ten Thousand Villages

I stumbled upon this store a couple of years ago. It truly is a great find. Ten Thousand Villages is strictly fair trade and helps millions around the world. I could go on and on about how wonderful they are but I think they capture what I want you know best...

From their website:
Ten Thousand Villages is a non-profit Fair Trade Organization (FTO). FTOs are non-governmental organizations designed to benefit artisans, not to maximize profits. They market products from handicraft and agricultural organizations based in low-income countries, providing consumers with products that have been fairly purchased from sustainable sources.
Men and women around the world have a simple dream – to earn an honest living, provide a home, food and education for their children, and to be gainfully employed in a job that brings dignity and joy. Ten Thousand Villages partners with thousands of talented artisans in a healthy business relationship.

They also have great gifts for the holidays!
