What Is Fair Trade?
What is Fair Trade?


Fair Trade is a set of ethical trade standards designed to be a tangible contribution to the fight against poverty, climate change and economic crisis.


It is a reaction to the injustices of conventional trade, which which is rife with unethical practices like discrimination, child labor, chemical dumping, unsafe work conditions, and non-living wages, among many others.


When a product is labeled as "fair trade" it has been evaluated to make sure it meets defined social, economic and environmental standards throughout the entire production of that product.

Love my small basket.❤️

I received my very first order from not boring today. I ordered a small Rwandan basket to hang on my wall. The basket is beautiful! I am so happy with the quality that I just ordered another large basket. Thank you!

The Wood is Gorgeous

These are so cool. I bought three. One for me at work, one for me at home, and one for my grandson. It's the perfect size for your phone or your iPad. The wood is gorgeous and satiny smooth. There are these nice openings for your cords to pass through so they can charge while in use or sitting on the stand. I love, love mine.
