Fair Trade Christmas shopping in Italy

On many Italian squares, the tends of Altromercato can be found that showcase many ideas for Fair Trade Christmas shopping. The secret of these successful Fair Trade Christmas markets, according to Chiara Bonati, President of the Consortium Altromercato, lies in their ability to be close to the many consumers who are looking for gifts with added value -  for the person receiving it and for those who produce them, as well as for the environment. A visit to one of the Altromercato markets gives an opportunity to find new, enjoyable ideas or to rediscover classic Christmas gifts.
 

Some products offered are jewelry, small pieces of furniture, clothing, home accessories and games for children, as well as decorative items for Christmas, Greenplanet reports. The new products of the natural cosmetics line Natyr are also offered – a set of cosmetics for men, oils, bath essences, essential oils and more. The products are packaged in biodegradable packaging. A list of the markets is available here
