Questions about ethical Christmas decorations

What makes these Christmas decorations ethical?

Every brand is vetted against fair trade standards before it's listed, including fair wages, safe working conditions, and no forced or child labour. Many pieces are handmade, like the recycled steel ornaments cut by artisans in Haiti.

Can I buy ornaments in sets?

Yes. Some ornaments come in sets of 2, and a few come as case packs of 6, which work for a gift exchange or a whole tree. The count is in the product title.

When should I order Christmas decorations?

Our brands commit to shipping within 3 business days. Many pieces are handmade in small batches, so ordering in November gives you the most choice.
