Christmas is just around the corner already, and most of us have already started shopping for exclusive little presents to put on the tree and pop in the stockings for our loved ones. From dresses and toys to little pots of home-made marmalade, cookies or candy you will no doubt have hundreds of ideas of gifts that you can probably get, and have been getting over the years.
Unfortunately nowadays it seems that everyone has got everything they need. Each year it gets harder to find something different to buy for the family or for that special someone and the usual DVDs and books just don’t seem to cut it.
If you are sick and tired of buying the regular stuff all the time, and are looking for something a little different, then recycled and fair trade gifts could be a great idea. Apart from being natural and organic there is an elegant and exclusive feel about the fair trade goods that have made them much sought after as gifts. From ethnic hand crafted African gifts of jewellery made of brass and glass beads to savoury exotic sauces and chutneys, gift ideas are galore for the ethical shopper with a refined taste.
Organic shea butter from Ghana is one of the favourites in body care for their excellent moisturising and therapeutic effect and is highly popular at the moment. Plus as these are more affordable compared to the expensive international brands, you can easily put together a box of body care products from organic bees wax lip balm, a jar of pre-conditioning coconut oil and shea butter and natural hand made soap at a bargain price.
At Exclusive Roots, we offer fair trade gifts and handmade gifts of all kinds that your loved ones are sure to love and remember.
