Tearcraft has also produced the traditional advent calendar with fair trade chocolate and Christmas decorations hand made by craftspeople in the developing world.

The new Christmas collection features over 400 products produced in countries such as Bangaldesh, Indiam Thailand, Nepal, Peru and Mexico.
