Description:
Since it's fairtrade fortnight this month in the UK I've decided our first swap should reflect it. To get a 5 in the swap you need to send one unused, new fairtrade product to the minimum value of Â£3/$4/â‚¬3 <-- it's converted on expedia.co.uk then I rounded it to the pound/dollar/euro. =] Maximum would be Â£10/$11/â‚¬10 You can get chocolate, coffee, tea, fairtrade 'mech' like badges and such. Make sure it has the fairtrade sign, IT MUST BE FAIRTRADE or else you didn't meet the swap requirements. Anyone with 4.9 may join, no 1's this year and please keep in contact with your partner and me if you have trouble finding items, sending them on time. Please comment where you would find fairtrade items in your town/country, this should help people.

In ENGLAND - Oxfam shops have their own little place for fairtrade items, supermarkets, and even coffee shops now sell fairtrade items.

Our fair trade shop always has some lovely little items for $4 or $5. I'll have a look at my partner's profile to send something they'll enjoy.
