Questions about hostess gifts

What's a good hostess gift?

Something they can enjoy after the party: a candle, kitchen towels, cloth napkins, a bag of coffee or a serving bowl. Skip anything they'd feel obliged to serve that night.

How much should I spend?

There's no rule, and a small, useful gift is the norm. Use the price filter to set your own limit.

Are these gifts fair trade?

Yes. Every brand on The Labour Movement is vetted against fair trade standards before it's listed: fair wages, safe working conditions, the right to organize, and no forced or child labour. Brands are reviewed again every year.
