Biome Christmas Tree Fair Trade Advent Calendar

As part of your eco, organic fair trade christmas planning make sure that your kids start the countdown with the Biome Christmas Tree Fair Trade Advent Calendar. Therefore replace the paper, plastic and chocolate advent calendar from the supermarket with this soft felt Christmas tree.

Each pocket contains a decoration to slowly build up the tree until completion on Christmas Eve and space for your own Christmas goodies, fair trade sweets, chocolates or home baked cookies.

Made by a small collective of Wonderful women in a small backstreet of Kathmandu. They hand produce their own chemical free felt from just hand soap and hot water. And then hand sew each decoration together and place it on a string ready for you to discover in December.

The social enterprise was established in 2003 in order to help many poor, vulnerable and socially excluded women through building their skills and providing opportunity to enhance their economic status and independence. The workers are provided with fair wages and work in a friendly, healthy, clean and safe environment.

The small co-operative has provided economic opportunities to 78 women and aim to develop and support further socially marginalised women.

These retail at £16.00 and can be found at Biomelifestyle.
