	Candles Candles are the perfect gift to brighten the days during this cold, dark time of year. We carry unique candles of all sorts of sizes, shapes, and delicious scents—choose from locally made Crafted in the Woods hand-poured soy candles; Goodlights Candles, made from sustainable palm oil; Big Dipper Waxworks natural beeswax candles, and more!
	Silk Road Bazaar Looking for a Ruth Bader Ginsburg ornament for that special someone? How about an orange octopus? We’ve got you covered! Silk Road Bazaar works with artisan groups in Kyrgyzstan to produce handmade, natural fiber ornaments that are astonishing in their creativity and beauty. New this year from Silk Bazaar are infant “Zoodies,” adorable booties for stylish babies from 0-12 months. Supply is limited!
	Tey-Art Alpaca Socks Warm feet: The most elusive feeling in winter. Who wouldn’t welcome the gift of these cozy, alpaca fiber socks? They feel even warmer knowing that they’re Fair Trade! Tey-Art socks come in a dizzying amount of sizes and patterns from simple earth tones to bright zig zags and stripes. All are made from 100% Peruvian alpaca fiber, and all are guaranteed to make cold winter feel just a bit warmer.
	Moisturizers for dry winter skin Right up there with cold feet, dry skin is a constant wintertime complaint. For chapped, dry skin, not just any lotion will do the trick, so a nice balm that really works can be a welcome gift indeed. The best skin hydration comes in a tin, not a bottle. Our all-time favorite is Booda Butter, made with Fair Trade shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil. Another good choice is Badger Balm, made with olive oil and beeswax. For chapped lips, try the Badger Cocoa Butter Lip Balms.
	Fair Trade Coffee & Chocolate Get your loved ones buzzing this winter! We have a large selection of Fair Trade coffee and chocolate, much of it locally prepared! Try the Wonderstate or Just Coffee seasonal blends paired with a few of the gorgeously packaged Endangered Species chocolate bars and a tub of Equal Exchange hot cocoa. You’ll be ensuring that the lucky recipient has the fuel they need to get through the cold, dark winter months ahead.
	Organic Satsuma Mandarins 5-lb. Box We may not have a lot of sunlight this time of year, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still need some brightness in our lives! Satsuma Mandarins are one of the first (and most delicious) domestically grown citrus fruits of the season. They’re seedless, extremely easy to peel, and have a flavor that’s the perfect combination of sweet and tart. It’s nearly impossible to eat only one!
	Local Sauce Assortment  Got someone on your list who likes a little extra flavor in their life? Gift them with an assortment of delicious locally made sauces. These might all be made right here in Wisconsin, but they represent a global array of flavors — from Madame Chu’s Southeast Asian Sauces, to Mango Man’s Caribbean Salsas, to Mojo’s Majik BBQ Sauce to Ernie’s African Kick Sauce. Perfect for the adventurous eater in your life!
	Bath Stuff There’s nothing like a nice warm soak on a cold December evening. Whether you’re shopping for a young bubble bath enthusiast, or a stressed out grown-up who could use the relaxation of a hot mineral bath, we have what you need. We especially like the ethically sourced bath products from Pacha Soap Company, and the bath salts and bubble bath from Aura Cacia. Add in a locally made sugar scrub from LuSa Organics and your loved one will have everything they need for an at-home body treatment!
	Andes Gifts Everyone on your list can use a little extra warmth this winter! This beautiful and functional Fair Trade knitwear is handmade in Peru and Bolivia by Aymara and Quechua artisans. Andes Gifts’ mission is to create employment opportunities for indigenous women that allow them to live and work within their rural communities, rather than commuting to cities to find jobs. Made from alpaca, cotton, wool, and recycled polyester, Andes offers a wide number of beautiful outerwear for kids and adults including hats, mittens, scarves, gloves, handwarmers, earwarmers, and home decor items.
	Local Cheese Assortment The perfect Wisconsin gift! From camembert to cheddar, gouda to gruyere, there’s a cheese to please almost every taste! Pair with locally made Potter’s Crackers or a selection of organic fruit for a delicious gift that will be sure to please.
