Looking for Info on Fair Trade gifts

[OhioBlue]

Does anyone have information on fair trade gift web sites? I've found a few through Google - but I'm not sure how legit they are.

here is one web site that I'm looking at: http://store.gxonlinestore.org/

Thanks for any info you can provide.

3. thanks. did you have a good experience?

Do you know much about the different sites? Are there fair trade organizations that are more reputable than others?

I just don't know that much about the structure.

thanks for the site.

8. Yes! I got information on the family in Peru that made the wall hanging.

and it was evidently authentic, handmade and excellent quality. This was some time ago. Now it looks like they teamed up with National Geographic, so that could be a good thing, or not so good.
