This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to winner Denise!
It’s the holiday season and I want to share a few green products with you here on my blog. And someone will also have the opportunity to try them all out first-hand!
The first product I had the opportunity to sample is a gift basket from Equal Exchange. This Fair Trade Mixer Gift Basket includes a variety of Equal Exchange products (all are organic except for the pecans and all are fairly traded) - three kinds of chocolate bars, coffee, almonds, pecans and hot chocolate mix - in a beautiful fairly traded kaisa grass basket imported by Ten Thousand Villages from Dhaka Handicrafts, a non-profit that works to improve the lives of children and rural families in Bangladesh. It’s a great holiday gift idea – one that truly gives back - and it’s really tasty! I’ve been munching on the chocolate and almonds and drinking the hot chocolate and all have been excellent. I don’t know about you, but when I eat food that is fairly traded, it just seems to taste better and certainly makes me feel better about eating it. :) To learn more about fair trade, visit the Fair Trade FAQ.
This gift basket is on sale through today, Dec. 15.
Equal Exchange has several other fair trade gifts that support small-scale farmers, ranging from $27-$75, including many that are on sale through today (Dec. 15). If you order online, you can get 10% off your order and receive free shipping on orders over $75. Use coupon code: giftme10 during checkout. Coupon expires 12/31/09.

I’d get the Organic Dark Chocolate Minis because they are Dominican Republic chocolate. I visited a coffee and cocoa farm in the DR and try to buy DR products as much as I can. Farming is one of the very few “industries” they have.

I’m all about trying the pecans. I loved the little choco bars and gave them out to 150 kids on halloween with a note about fair trade. This week @ Mothers Acting Up we are talking about creating new habits and traditions. Wanna join in the fun. Lots of Fair trade talk and doing Kiva with our kids.
