The 2nd Annual Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide has been created to help you choose socially conscious gifts for your gift giving this year. Whether you purchase a gift or two, or your list is large, choosing socially conscious gifts this holiday season can make a huge impact. Ethical holiday gifts include things that are fair trade and/or ethically made by those paid a living wage, and are free from human slavery. Celebrate the season with socially conscious gifts that you can feel good about. Why Shop for Socially Conscious Gifts? We each make a print on the earth and its people by what we consume. Not so long ago an individual’s impact on the world was very much limited to the area in which he or she resided. But that is not the case today. Almost everything we buy and use has been sourced outside our hometown and quite often even outside the country we live in. By opting for socially conscious gifts, you can make sure that the impact you are making is one that is ethical and even beneficial. Choosing Socially Conscious Gifts Benefits Others! Socially conscious gifts impact the giver, the receiver, the producer and others. The benefits are far reaching.

They help to eliminate poverty. Poverty contributes to human trafficking. People worldwide become vulnerable to human trafficking as they try to provide basic necessities for their families. Socially conscious gifts are made by organizations and businesses committed to reducing poverty and stopping human slavery. They provide fair wages for workers. Much of the world works in unfair conditions for less than a $1 a day. Your ethical purchases help to support farmers and factory owners who are committed to offering a fair wages to their laborers. They aid in rescuing victims. Many of the items that you find in the ethical holiday shopping guide are created by individuals who have been rescued from human trafficking. Once rescued, survivors are trained in skills that can help them support themselves and their families. Your purchases help these women and children, as well as the organizations who rescue them. They increase awareness. As you give socially conscious gifts this season, be sure to include a note mentioning where the gift came from and why. You can educate every person you give a present to about the issues of human slavery, global poverty, and how to empower women, children, and families for a better future. The Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide Makes Finding Socially Conscious Gifts Easy! We know that choosing ethically produced products is not easy. Who has the time to check out where products are sourced for everything they buy? That’s why we are committed to making your ethical shopping easy this holiday season. We have done the hard work and have compiled a directory of the stores that you can shop from with a clean conscience. No matter who you are shopping for, one of the stores in our directory can help you choose socially conscious gifts that are sure to please.
