There’s nothing quite like a long soak in a deep, hot tub for the ultimate relaxation. To pamper someone special in your life, why not create a gift basket of luxurious fair trade bath products?
Do you know anyone who really loves a good soak in the tub? I’ve created my very first gift guide just for the bath lover in your life!
These products are ones anyone can enjoy – including YOU!
And all of the products included are Fair Trade certified. Why not treat yourself to a little (good for mankind) indulgence today?

Luxurious Fair Trade Bath Products
These luxurious – but reasonably priced – bath items are perfect gifts, for birthdays, holidays, Mother’s Day..anytime, really.
In this guide, I’ve curated items for the bath that would be enjoyed by many.
Each item makes a great gift on its own, but when you combine a few of them together – perhaps in a beautiful gift basket – they become unforgettable.
Ideas for Creating Your One-of-a-Kind Gift Basket:
- Start with a beautiful, fragrant bar of soap
- Add a natural washcloth, pedicure item, or deeply relaxing lavender oil
- After-bath comfort can be offered in the form of a fragrant sachet, moisturizing shea butter, and a soothing warm neck wrap
- A soft, comfortable robe will pull all of these items together into one unforgettable gift collection
Don’t you love when gifts make a real statement?
I was actually thinking of my mother-in-law as I put this list together.
She’s getting older, and her baths are not just opportunities to get clean, they also help take away her everyday aches and pains. I thought, why not make her experience a little more relaxing and luxurious? She deserves to feel pampered!
Bath items also make great gifts for all the other bath lovers in your life, including moms-to-be, young adults on their own for the first time, teachers, and even gift exchanges. Just tailor the items to the situation and your budget, and get ready for the smiles you will receive!
Fair Trade Bath Products
I gathered these items all from one location, to make shopping and selection that much easier for you.
I chose to focus on the Ten Thousand Villages shop because they have high-quality products, prices are excellent, and they will even gift wrap and ship to your recipient directly if you wish.
But most importantly, Ten Thousand Villages is the largest 100% fair trade store in the U.S. How is this important? From the Ten Thousand Villages website, we get this clear explanation:
Ten Thousand Villages is more than a store. We’re a global maker‑to‑market movement. We’re a way for you to shop with intention for ethically-2sourced wares — and to share in the joy of connecting with makers in ten thousand villages.
As a pioneer of fair trade, we do business differently, putting people and planet first. That means you can trust that every handmade purchase you make from us directly impacts the life and community of its maker in a developing country.
Ten Thousand Villages
Honestly, giving a gift of fair trade makes any present that much more special!
Imagine collecting several of these items together in a beautiful basket or gift bag – or be even more creative and wrap them in a bath towel or blanket!

Start with a beautiful, fragrant bar of soap.
Something out of the ordinary, with either a unique scent or special characteristics such as an exfoliant or super-emollient ingredient.
Add a natural washcloth, pedicure item, or deeply relaxing lavender oil.
After-bath comfort can be offered in the form of a fragrant sachet, moisturizing shea butter, and a soothing warm neck wrap.
A soft, comfortable robe will pull all of these items together into one unforgettable gift collection.
There must be quite a few things a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them.

Personally, I’m leaning toward the flowering vines robe for my mother-in-law. She’s always been an incredible flower gardener, so I think it suits her best! And then I will gather matching items for a one-of-a-kind gift basket.
She’s (or he’s) going to love it!

What do you think of this idea of Fair Trade Bath Products in a Gift Basket: A Unique Idea for Someone Special? Who would love to receive this thoughtful gift?
God, I miss having a bath. In our temporary house, until our permanent house will be ready, we have none, and I can’t wait to buy bath bombs again:) In the meantime, the fair trade products you recommended look amazing. I can enjoy a good soap in the shower too. And yes, using fair trade products always feels better to me.
Madi, I rarely take baths but I would certainly miss having a tub if I didn’t have one at all! Patience, my dear, is all I can recommend! I try to buy fair trade products whenever I can, and Ten Thousand Villages (where all of these are from) is a very responsible, ethical retailer.
Great list!
Thank you!
All of these are lovely! I like anything that’s Fair Trade too as I think we should all make sure we’re buying ethical products.
Thanks for sharing!
I think there has been a real shift recently, and people want to know more about how products were produced and who made them, rather than just going for the typical mass-production, and I’m really glad to see this change! Thanks for reading!
