Day 1:

Win a festive hamper of Fairtrade treats worth £99

Traidcraft was founded back in 1979 when their first hand-drawn catalogue was published, shortly followed by the introduction of the first fair trade tea, coffee and sugar to the UK.  

In 1992, Traidcraft jointly founded the Fairtrade Foundation and has been going strong ever since. Over 40 years on, Fairtrade commodities line shelves of supermarkets up and down the country, but Traidcraft’s work is not done. Traidcraft believe that transparency is key to achieving justice within trade and throughout supply chains, which is why they signed the Coffee Transparency Pledge in 2019, making 100 percent of their coffee costs transparent and public, and launched their ground-breaking Transparency Coffee.  

Dig into a selection of Christmas-themed ethical treats and nibbles in today’s prize worth £99, perfect for a get together or meaningful gift this winter. The festive hamper includes: one rich iced fruit slab cake, earl grey tea, chocolate chunk and sour cherry shortbread rounds, Rwandan red bourbon fresh ground coffee, dark chocolate with marzipan and orange liqueur, half-coated chocolate Christmas trees, Divine dark chocolate salted caramel thins, Zaytoun caramelised almonds, dark chocolate chip and orange biscuits, butterscotch sweets, one slab of 37 percent milk chocolate, and one 'joy' drawstring bag. It comes packaged up and ready to gift in a reusable handwoven kaisa grass basket from Prokritee in Bangladesh.

What is the name of the pledge that Traidcraft signed in 2019?

Day 2:

Win a full Tony’s rainbow of Fairtrade chocolate

Tony’s Chocolonely are the Fairtrade chocolate makers on a serious mission to make all chocolate 100 percent slave free. 60 percent of all the world's cocoa comes from two countries, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. In these two countries, there are 2.5 million farms with approximately 1.56 million children working under illegal and hazardous conditions. Worst still, there are at least 30,000 adults and children working in cocoa who are considered victims of modern slavery. 

The social impact company was founded by a team of Dutch journalists in 2005 with one clear mission – to make all chocolate 100 percent slave free. Not just Tony’s Chocolonely, but all chocolate, worldwide. They do this by encouraging other big chocolate companies to adopt their five Sourcing Principles to break the cycle of systemic poverty and enable farmers a living income.  

Tony’s wants to show the world that chocolate can be made differently – in taste, packaging and the way they do business with cocoa farmers. Their chocolate is proudly Fairtrade and ensures partner farmers are paid the living income reference price. 

Tony’s Chocolonely work with partner farmers to source their Fairtrade cocoa. Where does 60 percent of the world’s cocoa come from?

Day 3:

Win a bouquet of Arena Fairtrade flowers worth £100

Arena are especially proud to be ranked as the UK’s most ethical florist, with 100 percent of Arena Flowers products being Fairtrade where they can be. Their Kenyan supply partners have seen an outstanding 300 percent volume increase over the past two years. Buying Fairtrade flowers creates many benefits for workers, including funding for food and health equipment during COVID-19 and offering a financial safety net during this critical time. 

As well as supporting producers in developing countries through sustainable and fair business relationships, Arena Flowers commit to planting a tree for every single order placed with them as part of reforestation projects in Haiti, Madagascar and Mozambique.  

Arena also continue to pioneer positive change in packaging and have recently become the world’s first flower company to achieve a 100 percent closed-loop waste system. All single-use plastics have been removed and their packaging is 100 percent recyclable and compostable – a remarkable achievement.  

How does choosing Arena’s Fairtrade flowers help to combat climate change?

Day 5:

Win a Shooting Star pendant worth £250

made with Fairtrade gold

British designer Catherine Zoraida uses ethically sourced materials including Fairtrade gold and the natural world as her inspiration to create exquisite jewellery with a distinctive and playful edge.  

Catherine developed an impeccable eye for style and detail at an early age that has now seen her work handpicked by high profile clients including the HRH the Duchess of Cambridge, Gigi Hadid, Emma Watson, Alicia Vikander and many more. 

Did you know an estimated 100 million people worldwide rely on small-scale mining to support their families and communities? By using Fairtrade gold in her jewellery, Catherine is choosing gold with heart. This means workers in Fairtrade certified gold mines receive a Minimum Price for their gold as well as an extra amount of money on top, called Fairtrade Premium, to spend on improving their businesses and communities. 

The Fairtrade gold in today’s pendant supports small-scale and artisanal miners to do what?

Since launching their own line of Fairtrade and organic 30 basics, Know the Origin has expanded their platform to house the next generation of ethical brands across fashion, conscious living and homeware. Every product is tagged with a unique code so you can see its story, meet its maker and shop by 20+ ethical standards. Know the Origin love Fairtrade because on the ground, farmers are getting support and recognition for their work that everyone deserves.  This means farmers are involved in decision making and are empowered to improve their surrounding communities and environment through the Fairtrade Premium. 

Their ambition is to become the largest online shopping destination for sustainable and transparent brands. To make ethical the norm, for everyone, forever. That starts with the highest Fairtrade standards of production and accountability.
