Ethical Gift-Giving?

So, I’m looking for a few recommendations of companies that sell books, toys, etc for toddlers and children and that are ecologically and socially responsible and ship to the U.S. or Canada.

My nephew’s first birthday is still a few months away…but I am thinking about bending my “I don’t celebrate the commerical aspects of Christmas” rule for him. ;)

    I like A Greater Gift from SERRV Int’l. All fair trade items. Their items seem to rotate frequently, so if you don’t find anything you like now, check back later. http://www.agreatergift.org/Default.aspx

    Just about all of the things you claim happens to be astonishingly legitimate and that makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This article truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific issue goes. But at this time there is actually one particular issue I am not necessarily too comfy with and whilst I try to reconcile that with the actual central theme of the issue, allow me observe just what all the rest of the subscribers have to point out.Well done.
