Make it a Fairtrade Father’s Day
compiled by Madhavi Mooljee and Caly McCarthy
Each of us has our own deeply individual experience with family, so this Father's Day we're following suit and featuring ideas for one-of-a-kind gifts. Whether you're looking for something that's off-the-wall-unique or highly customizable, Fairtrade brand partners have got you covered with a gift that's good for people and planet.
Super socks
FEATURES: Fairtrade cotton ONE-OF-A-KIND: These aren't your average gold-toed socks. They feature embroidered elements and nifty designs (Do *you* have socks with electric guitars on them?). Every purchase of a pair of Conscious Step socks supports a partner organization like The Trevor Project, Habitat for Humanity, World Central Kitchen and Trees for the Future. This makes for some incredible impact! And we can tell you from firsthand experience that these socks are darn cozy for the lucky tootsies that get to wear them.

Highly snackable chocolate treat
FEATURES: Fairtrade cocoa and Fairtrade coconut sugar ONE-OF-A-KIND: Be honest, have you ever even heard of goldenberries before? These tart treats celebrate goldenberries by coating them in rich 70% dark chocolate. They're vegan, organic and free from refined sugar and additives.

Single origin coffee with a long history
FEATURES: Fairtrade coffee ONE-OF-A-KIND: This isn’t just single-origin coffee. It’s single-origin coffee from Coopfam, the very first Fairtrade certified coffee cooperative in all of Brazil. With tasting notes of peanut and cashew brittle and praline-honey-meets-teddy-graham, this roast is nothing short of a delight.

Adaptogens for the win!
FEATURES: Fairtrade Ashwagandha ONE-OF-A-KIND: Organic India’s Ashwagandha is the world’s very first Fairtrade certified Ashwagandha! Ashwagandha has long been a staple in Ayurvedic medicine where it has been used as a stress relief supplement and natural source of vitality. Contemporary science identifies it as an adaptogenic herb—a plant that that can energize OR calm the body depending on the support it needs to return to homeostasis.

Salty, sweet, or spicy—so many options!
FEATURES: Fairtrade cashews ONE-OF-A-KIND: GRIA takes care to process cashews in the same regions where it harvests them (an anomaly in the broader cashew industry). GRIA stands for grown in Africa—and their Fairtrade cashews are certainly grown in Africa (Benin, Togo and Burkina Faso, to be precise), but they’re also shelled, peeled, roasted and packed there, too. This is important because it means that the value-adding steps of the manufacturing process can take place in the same regions where the crops are cultivated, which helps contribute to local food economies and domestic food manufacturing.
