If you are looking for that ethical gift or extra special gift for Christmas then why not buy fairtrade flowers, or fairtrade chocolate? Alternatively, try a charity gift from the Oxfam, World Vision or Christian Aid charity gifts web sites with a selection of fairtrade gifts which enable you to send a goat, pig, sheep or camel to the developing world on someone else's behalf. Or how about adopting an animal or sponsoring a child? There's a whole range of ethical and fairtrade gifts in our Lifestyle section for Christmas. Or if you want something more substantial try Apartments Dublin.
