Over the past 20 years the fair trade movement has developed significantly, with a whopping 74% of the UK now recognising the Fairtrade Mark. It isn’t however only our general awareness that is growing, there are now a phenomenal amount of Fairtrade products readily available for purchase.

We ran a small survey here at Shared Interest HQ to see which Fairtrade products our staff were most surprised to see as certified Fairtrade, or using Fairtrade materials. The top 10 results are as follows:

• Vodka
• Rubber Gloves
• Quinoa
• Socks
• Beer (Hadrian’s Wall celebrated its Fairtrade status with a chocolate beer)
• Flowers
• Cards
• Christmas Pudding
• Bath Salts
• Pyjamas

Please comment below on what were you most surprised to see as certified Fairtrade, or using Fairtrade materials.
