With two lovely bank holiday weekends under our belts and still another on the way May is a great month to take time to make our homes look and feel fantastic. Fair trade home accessories are a lovely way to add a personal touch to rooms and gardens, useful metal dishes that look beautiful too, sparkling candle sticks and soft, colourful cushions are a few of the fair trade ways for you to make your home your own special place. Hestian Fair Trade has a brilliant range of fair trade children's bedroom products too, so creating a fun, vibrant room for your young one has never been easier.

With the royal wedding just around the corner we are all hoping the weather is beautiful for an extra special weekend. Sunny garden parties are a great way meet up with friends and family and enjoy a few fair trade treats and it's not just fantastic fair trade food that can help your party go with a swing. A few fair trade candles will add a sparkle and the beautiful dragonfly candle holder will add a gorgeous centre piece to your tables, they will really come into their own as dusk falls. Into the evening you can easily create a relaxed atmosphere by lighting a few scented fair trade candles and letting them flicker delicately as you sink back into your favourite garden chair. Here's wishing everyone a wonderful wedding weekend and hopefully everyone will be able to make the most of the long bank holiday with a chance to have some time to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Easter's here.

Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:20:06 +0000

It is almost Easter Sunday, one of the happiest days of the year! After checking that the Easter bunny has visited and then running around like mad things hunting for goodies it is great to divide up the fair trade chocolate loot, relax back with a huge mug of fair trade coffee and decide where to go to walk off the feast. Long may this wonderful warm weather last so that we can make the most of a lovely bank holiday weekend. There will be loads of places to visit, fayres to enjoy and markets to explore. You can really look the part by using a cool fair trade cotton shopper to carry your market finds and why not show off your Easter weekend holiday photo's in a gorgeous fair trade photo frame? Even though Easter is traditionally associated with chocolate there are loads of lovely fair trade gifts here at Hestian Fair Trade that make gorgeous Easter gifts and are sure to be much appreciated. Easter is a great time of year, a lovely spring time break and the perfect time to share and enjoy fantastic fair trade treats.

Beautiful Silver Jewellery for Valentines Day.

Fri, 28 Jan 2011 12:31:47 +0000

In a couple of weeks it will be the most romantic day of the year – at least for some!

Hestian fair trade has a whole host of beautiful fair trade gifts and special Valentine day gifts to help show just how much you care. Have a look through the gorgeous fair trade silver jewellery range which has elegant, traditional and modern pieces that will make thoughtful gifts for the one you love. This silver jewellery is understated enough to wear everyday whilst being eye catching enough to lift any outfit on special occasions. Popping your chosen piece of jewellery into a delicate wooden trinket box will make it look even more fantastic and will give your Valentine a treasured storage place for their special gift.

As the winter weather looks set to last a few more weeks why not treat your Valentine to a super warm fair trade scarf and gloves so you can enjoy a long, romantic walk together without the chilly temperatures spoiling things? When you get home a couple of beautiful, scented candles will help to create a calming, relaxed altmosphere to snuggle up together. The very pretty Dragonfly tealight holder casts delicate fluttering dragonflies around the outside of the frosted glass bowl as your candle burns, creating a lovely focal point.

If your looking for a fun and quirky Valentines Day gift the Stone Cat and Mouse set make an adorable gift, that will say you care in a sweet and lighthearted way. Or if your loved one has a sweet tooth but is avoiding post Christmas calories treat them to a set of cupcake hooks – 3 fun cakes they can enjoy all year long.

And if this year you are not going along the Valentine route then treat yourself... wrap up warm in a cosy fair trade hat and scarf set and go for an invigorating walk in the great outdoors. Come home to the sumptious scents of delicious fair trade scented candles and curl up on the sofa to relax and watch your favourite film – and remember it's brilliant being your own best friend!
