When Christmas shopping, consider fair trade items. These are items that are made by third world artisans and sold so they can earn a livable wage for their products. Locally, you can shop Lucia's Boutique. The Peace Craft store in Berea is another great option. Both places have a wide range of items available. If you do not have a fair trade shop locally, SERV international is a great option. You can order their products online. Better yet, if you know of an organization locally, sponsor a fair trade fair at your church or community group. Buy high quality handmade Christmas presents while helping someone less fortunate earn a livable wage is a win-win situation.
