Ethical & Fair Trade Holidays
Special Occasions
The journey which led to Change the World by How You Shop began with a video on how Christmas lights were made. Years later when similar news came out concerning Halloween Decorations, I became very hesitant to buy anything holiday-themed! But below you will find ethically-made holiday decorations and gifts which have a much more positive background story.
