My mouth is already watering. I LOVE fair trade chocolate. There are so many great ones out there. Yum. Fair trade is the only way to go in my opinion. I buy it as gifts for everyone because it makes a meaningful and delicious gift. Who doesn't like chocolate?! Even better if it helps support producers worldwide. Keep up the positive posts.

Chocolate too. There should be much more though. Fair trade chickens, chillies, fruits, vegetables? Why so few? It seems that most fair trade is on more luxury goods. There are still many millions of farm workers that are exploited all over the world. I always buy Fairtrade (and organic) coffee when I can. Chocolate too. There should be much more though.

I think a lot of people not in the know would also be surprised to discover just how many products are available in fair trade versions now - most people know about chocolate and coffee and bananas, but how many know about jewellery, bags, paper and notebooks, soaps and beauty products, etc. Your blog is definitely an interesting experiment and I suspect that you can now buy most necessary items in a fair trade version, and also a lot of non-essential items too, like Ben & Jerry's for example - I'm going to invest in some of that next time I go to the shops :) As a self-confessed chocoholic I would have to go with the delicious range of fair trade chocolate available - dark chocolate with an excessively large percentage of cocoa would be at number 1.

And does anyone actually use a pestle and mortar these days? Anyway, here, in the spirit of the original post, are my top 5 Fairtrade products 1. A Fairtrade banana - simple but perfect - preferably the small, sweet ones from Windwards or organic Dominican Republic 2. Divine Chocolate after dinner mints - much more scrumptious than those nasty things in the dark green box with the clock 3. Tropical Wholefoods dried mango or dried pineapple - seriously this fruit is just bursting with flavour, and brilliant to take on a journey or hike instead of sweets 4. Stellar Organics Sauvignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc - great wine from an amazing black economic empowerment vineyard and winery - and I've met the ducks on the label, so I'm biased 5. M&S Blueberry jam with Fairtrade sugar - if you haven't tried this, do it. I'd never even thought of buying jam from M&S before I discovered this, but now most of my friends and family are buying it after tasting it at my place.

Mango Monkey Backpack (http://www.peagreenthings.co.uk/Recycled_and_Fairtrade/Mango_monkey_backpack.aspx ) just because he's fun and funky. 2. Chicken Egg Holder (http://www.peagreenthings.co.uk/Recycled_and_Fairtrade/Chicken_Egg_Holder.aspx ) because it's useful and stylish 3. Magazine Paper Pots (http://www.peagreenthings.co.uk/Recycled_and_Fairtrade/Magazine_Paper_Pots.aspx )because they are bright and colourful 4. Recycled Book (http://www.peagreenthings.co.uk/Recycled_and_Fairtrade/Handmade_Recycled_Book.aspx) Stylish and perfect for a Fair Trade Christmas Gift 5. Pestle & Mortar (http://www.peagreenthings.co.uk/Eco-friendly_products/Fair_Trade_products/Stone_Pestle_and_Mortar.aspx ) because I think every kitchen should have one :) There's such a huge selection of Fair Trade products around that I definitely think if you were trying to persuade a friend to try out Fair Trade products, you can show them there's an awesome range of products out there to buy.
