About Fairgift
Fairgift offers beautiful, original and fair trade items for the home. We are a family-run social enterprise that works with fair trade producers in Africa, Asia & Latin America - both directly and indirectly via our partners such as Traidcraft. The products are predominantly handmade using recycled or organic materials, such as the Bolivian wine glasses made from recyled coca-cola bottles. Each item is traceable back to the original producer and their community, so you can find out more about the people who make them.
