Fair trade holiday shopping guide

The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally, if incorrectly, thought of as the busiest shopping day of the year in the US. For those of us still in a food coma, it's nice to do the shopping from the couch. Thanks to my fabulous intern Kristina, who took a break from infrastructure regulation to find the excellent sites below, we present ten ways to buy fair trade and/or support artists worldwide:

• Novica - an online arts agent for more than 1,700 artists around the world. Check out the impressive collection of chess sets.
• World of Good - affordably priced bags, house wares, jewelry, more.
• Ganesha - home furnishings and accessories from India. Don't blame me if you spend an hour wandering around this fantastically diverse marketplace. Make sure to visit the Bollywood section.

• Fair Indigo - some luxurious goods, starting with the alpaca. Fair trade men's and women's clothing without a hint of hippie.
• Ten Thousand Villages - a classic. Kristina is enamored of their rug collection.
• League of Artisans - products from India, heavy on the silk.
• Traidcraft Shop - quite a range, from chocolate to clothing to stationery to wine to Christmas decorations.
• Taraluna - fair trade, organic and green gifts. Perfect if your dog buys organic.
• Cred Jewellery - fair trade wedding rings? Why, yes.
• Pangea - I can't leave out the IFC's own store downstairs.
