Frequently Asked Questions About Gifts
-
What makes a good fair trade or handmade gift?
A good fair trade gift is high-quality, handmade, carries the story of its maker, and gives back, since each purchase provides income to a skilled artisan or farmer. SERRV's gifts are crafted by hand by fair trade partners in over 20 countries, so each one is unique and meaningful.
-
What are the best fair trade gifts for women?
Popular fair trade gifts for women include handmade jewelry such as semi-precious stone earrings from Peru and recycled sari necklaces from India, along with cozy scarves, leather handbags, and kantha throws. Many are made by women-led artisan groups, and SERRV itself is a women-led nonprofit, so the gift supports women makers and delights the woman receiving it.
-
What are good gifts by occasion (hostess, housewarming, wedding, thank-you)?
For a hostess or housewarming gift, a breadwarmer, dish towels, or a candle-lantern gift basket works well. For weddings, consider a handwoven throw or ceramic serving pieces, and for thank-you or going-away gifts, choose something portable like a scarf, mug, or Christmas ornament. SERRV's curated gift baskets, expertly assembled by staff, make any occasion easy.
-
Do you offer affordable gifts, like gifts under $40?
Yes. SERRV carries hundreds of ethically made gifts under $40, including earrings, scarves, ornaments, chocolate, baskets, and small home accents. These are affordable, meaningful gifts that still support artisan makers.
-
Do you offer gift cards, gift wrapping, and gift messages?
Yes. SERRV offers digital gift cards starting at $20, reusable fair trade gift wrap such as recycled sari bags and totes instead of paper, and gift message cards to include with a present. For holiday gifts, order early and review current shipping timelines so it arrives in time. SERRV does not offer complimentary gift wrapping.
-
Why buy gifts from a fair trade nonprofit like SERRV?
SERRV is one of the world's first fair trade organizations, a women-led nonprofit founded in 1949 and a member of the Fair Trade Federation. Buying a gift here means it's ethically sourced and handmade, and proceeds benefit artisans, farmers, and their communities, so the gift does good well beyond the giving.
