Easter products
We have a full range of Easter eggs available, both boxed eggs and mini eggs. In addition we have opened up some sharing boxes of Meaningful Chocolate hen’s egg size 20g hollow milk chocolate eggs in foil, which we are selling at £1 each. An Easter story / activity sheet is included in the price.
In addition we have Easter cards, painted wooden eggs and crosses from Kashmir and olive wood products from Palestine. Our Easter products are illustrated here. [Update 15/5/26: Easter page deleted as Easter products have now all been sold. Thank you for your custom!]
New products and restocks
Some new designs of hand made and hand painted Palestinian pottery have just arrived at Fairer World, along with a restock of other designs. A full range of Palestinian foods, soap products and crafts is in stock.
Everyday bulk print single cards and hand made single cards are now well stocked at Fairer World; examples can be seen here.
We have just had a visit from our friend John, who has a one person business called Just Trade. We have been buying fair trade crafts from Just Trade for over 40 years. We obtained more stock of reasonably priced Mexican earrings and bangles, to complement the more expensive glass earrings from Chile already at Fairer World. Plus we have some budget priced new small silver studs from Mexico via Just Trade, as well as a good range of silver earrings and studs from Bali via Pachamama, which is another one person fair trade set up. Some examples of our jewellery range can be seen here.
Clothing back after Easter
We are going to bring back our clothing stock to the Fairer World shop soon after Easter and also order some new tops and trousers over the next month or two. We no longer have a changing area, as people are aware, so we suggest customers pay for any garments they would like and bring them back to the shop for a refund if they are not a good fit etc. Sorry that this policy may result in an extra journey occasionally.
Palestine stalls
We remain concerned about the very difficult situation that our hard pressed Palestinian producers are facing, although they do so with tremendous resilience. Fair trade helps Palestinian communities to preserve their culture as well as put food on the table.
We have enough stock to be able to supply any people who would like to hold a Palestinian products stall in their own homes, workplaces, churches, communities, villages etc. The stalls would be a mixture of Palestinian foods, soaps, crafts and culture / cookery books. We have a lot of experience in providing stalls and can offer advice, and also help with transport. If you are interested in discussing doing this, please get in touch with us.

Customer contact details
As we mentioned in the Fairer World update dated 25.02.26, Fairer World mobile phone 07877 947793, which had been out-of-action in the run-up to Christmas, is now back in action. We needed to buy a new phone, however, and although we managed to keep the old number 07877 947793, we were not able to keep the memory. So we are asking those customers who haven’t already done so – and wish to do so, of course! – to provide their contact details: name, address, mobile number / land line, if possible, and we will add them to our database. And thank you very much to those customers who have already sent in their contact details to us. We didn’t manage to send an individual thank you at the time but we did appreciate receiving those details.
