Each of these gifts blends tradition with functionality, making them perfect for holiday giving.

Holiday Décor

The season isn’t complete without décor that tells a story. Our birdhouse wind chimes, woven baskets, and beaded placemats bring artisanal beauty to holiday entertaining. Whether it’s styling a holiday table or gifting handmade home décor, these pieces are sure to stand out.

Holiday Décor that Doubles as Gifts

Fair trade isn’t just for gifting, it’s for decorating, too. Many of our holiday items bring warmth and artistry into the home, making them perfect for seasonal displays.

From Lee’s Nativity Scene handcrafted in banana and palm leaves, to whimsical Christmas Ornaments like our angels and Santa Claus, these artisan-made pieces elevate holiday décor with meaning and story. They’re versatile for retail, customers may buy them as gifts, or to style their own homes.

📦 That’s why it’s smart to get these products into your store before November, so you’re ready when shoppers start decking the halls and planning their holiday gatherings.
