Shop To Stop Slavery and Eye See Media Partner to Produce 2011 Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide

Nov. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Shop To Stop Slavery and Eye See Media have combined their efforts to create the 2nd annual Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide showcasing socially conscious gifts for ethically minded consumers. The year round efforts of both companies to educate consumers on how their actions can make a difference to the issue of human slavery has culminated in multi-media production of a guide that facilitates the ethical purchasing choices that people struggle with this time of year.

Much more than a mere catalog, the 2011 Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide is a collection of the best fair trade businesses and social enterprises that support survivors of human trafficking. The companies, all committed to providing a living wage for their employees, manufacture everything from home décor to textiles to jewelry to toys and beyond. The Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide provides an array of fitting socially conscious gifts for each and every gift recipient this holiday season.

2011 sees a vast improvement to the Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide. More than double the size of the original guide, the go-to source for socially conscious gifts now has its own website: www.EthicalHolidayShoppingGuide.com. Consumers can also request a physical copy of the guide mailed directly to them from Eye See Media. New-this-year additions also include a detailed list of gift suggestions for everyone from grandma to kids to a favorite teacher.

The Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide is the brainchild of Shop To Stop Slavery founder Robin Rossmanith. One of her major goals in starting the online directory Shop To Stop Slavery was to help provide quick and easy solutions to those who were interested in making socially conscious shopping choices. Creating a seasonal guide of socially conscious gifts was a natural addition to her company. The guide enjoyed a huge success in its inaugural year and the demand was high for a second year.


According to Rossmanith, a mom and an abolitionist, “Every socially conscious gift that is chosen this holiday season helps those who are at risk for being trafficked. By choosing such goods, you help to decrease the demand for products that are produced unethically and therefore, pressure those business owners to respond with fair practices. Our guide helps you make those choices easily without having to spend hours researching the ethical options available to you.”
