Every brand here is vetted against fair trade standards before it's listed, including fair wages, safe working conditions, and no forced or child labour.

Questions about sympathy gifts

What's an appropriate sympathy gift?

Something comforting that asks nothing of them: a candle, a soft blanket, a wind chime or a memorial piece for the garden. Unlike flowers, these last.

Can I send it directly to them?

Yes. Enter their address at checkout. If you order from more than one brand, each brand ships its part separately, and our brands commit to shipping within 3 business days.

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.
