Fairtrade Gifts for Mother’s Day

Breakfast in bed? First things first–coffee! Metropolis Coffee Company has you covered with four fantastic Fairtrade options (including one decaf). Based in Chicago, their mission is “Great Coffee for Everyone” and it’s a statement that extends to…everyone: farmers, roasters, baristas, and coffee lovers, alike.

A classic box of beautifully wrapped chocolates can go a long way in showing anyone you care. Fran’s Chocolates has got you covered with their Mother’s Day collection, featuring our favorite assorted candies: Fairtrade certified Gray Salt Caramels and Smoked Salt Caramels.  

From grocery shopping to an afternoon at the pool or playground to a weekend campout on the beach—these sturdy canvas tote bags are the ultimate utility haulers. Made with 14-oz Fairtrade organic cotton canvas, they are super durable, spacious, and feature an inside drop-pocket to keep items secure and close at hand.

Your purchase also supports Feeding America’s campaign to end hunger by helping donate meals to kids and families in need.

GRIA Food Co. is a premium snack company whose cashews are Grown in Africa—but also, shelled, peeled, roasted and packed there, too. This means that the communities cultivating Fairtrade cashews also gain access to value-adding steps (and profits!) of the manufacturing process.

GRIA offers six fantastic flavors, and you really should try them all, but if you’re looking for a special recommendation for that special momma in your life, we humbly suggest the (utterly delicious) cinnamon sugar cashews.
