Joobles Organic Cotton Stuffed Toys: Fair Trade Has Never Been Cuter!
I am crazy for handmade toys; when I saw the adorable faces of the new line of Joobles friends from Fair Indigo, I was instantly smitten.
Responsible, Sustainable, Adorable™
I want to collect them all!
Joobles are handcrafted in Peru under fair trade conditions.
Joobles were first made by a Peruvian family of three, but the business has since expanded to provide jobs with living wages to hundreds of people in Peru.
Fair Indigo also contributes to the lives of these workers by donating free breakfasts and school supplies to their children.
Each incredibly soft animal is made with eco-friendly dyes and organic cotton grown in Peru. Calley the Cat stands 11” tall (as all the friends do) with adorable whiskers and a huggable green and yellow body. For parents hunting for eco-friendly toys, all of the Joobles are made with cotton grown without the use of pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or other chemicals. Eliminating these chemicals is not only better for baby, but also for workers and for the environment.
Joobles are heirloom-quality toys made from 100% organic cotton, giving them comfortably soft, toxin-free bodies.
I can’t resist Joobles‘ friendly, smiling faces and eco-friendly dyed colors, and I was even more thrilled to learn that they cost only $29.
I have seen knit dolls at online boutiques that retail for twice that amount!
Deeds is a stuffed toy fanatic, so I am so excited to have this well made, organic, fair trade Joobles doll for him to enjoy!
If your child loves to play with dolls and plush animals, you can feel confident in giving them a Joobles for Christmas!
As I mentioned in my previous post, I met someone two weeks ago who works in a sweat shop. She is a twenty-two-year-old girl who sews upholstery for 12 hours per day, earning $25 per month.
The factory is not air conditioned or heated, and is surrounded by high walls and barbed wire. Usually the workers are “given” a place to sleep within the compound walls. These are very simple, shared accommodations that are in worse shape than homeless shelters in the USA.
I don’t know if she gets the weekends off. Probably not, because most blue collar workers in Laos have a 7 day work week. But even if she only works 5 days a week (60 hours), that is about ten cents an hour, right? I do not want to support the people who are making money off of her loss of human rights. If we purchase products made under these conditions, we share the blame that they continue.
I usually try to avoid tangents in my review posts but I think the term sweat shop is glossed over and joked about in the United States, but it is real.
Fair Indigo is giving one Mom Most Traveled reader the Joobles plush of their choice for Christmas!
To enter, visit www.fairindigo.com and click on the tab About Fair Trade to learn what this term really means and why you should care.
Also tell me the name of the Joobles character you would like to win!
Fair Indigo has informed me that because Joobles are hand made, certain styles might run out in the holiday shopping season. Please have a “back up” option in mind in case your first choice is not available.
One winner will be chosen at random.

This saddens me greatly. I think we’re all a bit naive and ignorant to conditions and just how some of the littlest things get made in other countries. Ideally we’d have most things made right here at home in the US, and it’d be better for our economy in the long run. Where we’d have more quality control as well.
I’m glad that you’ve brought this subject to everyone’s attention.
Icy the Penguin is super cute, as is Buzzy Bug. I love how there’s a penguin sweater to match too. That’s adorable.
29 November 2008, 6:33 pm
I learned about fair trade during this election. We should all be conscience of what we buy and how it might affect others. We should also put pressure on big business like the super centers we all shop, to participate in fair trade.
On a lighter note- we like Jiffy the Giraffe ! Love the matching sweater
29 November 2008, 6:37 pm
I stumbled also: coffecup
My back up would be Bella the Bunny. Almost forgot!
29 November 2008, 8:09 pm
Thank you for making me aware of this site. I havbe book marked it with the hopes of doing some of my holiday shopping through it. I am really trying to be more aware of where things I purchase come from, how they were made etc.
I would love Mel the Monkey or Jiffy the Giraffe.
29 November 2008, 9:31 pm
My favorite is Jiffy the Giraffe. I am a firm believer in fair trade and think we need to do more to encourage big businesses to participate.. Thanks for the giveaway!
29 November 2008, 10:07 pm
the Buzzy Bug Joobles is too cute! thanks so much for featuring an item that is fair trade. i’ve really been getting into items that are FT lately. even chocolates and other items we might overlook and not realize need to be ethical. thanks so much!
30 November 2008, 12:09 am
wow i too think thay all are realy sweet and i love o winany one of them as to one of them i like is the monkey thanks
30 November 2008, 4:30 am
Fair trade is a wonderful thing and should be an example to the rest of society.
I love Bella the Bunny!
30 November 2008, 8:39 am
Businesses need to become stakeholders in their own organizations and actively play a wider role.
Equal wages seem to be in todays society- sadly it is not & it should be.
I love Icy the Penguin
30 November 2008, 12:30 pm
Again, thank you Candace for reminding us that when we purchase from those companies, we’re feeding the fuel.
I don’t think that was a tangent at all , it’s a wake up call.
What a wonderful review and I hope you get all your little Joobles because I’m sure they would serve as messengers.
I learned the definition of “fair” and those “employed” by sweat shops (more like prisoners) are certainly not being treated fairly.
How atrocious that for our “gain” anothers rights are taken. I’ll certainly be more conscious of what I purchase now.
After reading about the commodities, I see why it’s much easier to purposely pay farmers more than the going price and how difficult it would be to monitor the manufactured goods fair trade. Hats off to Fair Indigo!
My favorite would be Mel the Monkey although each one of them spoke to me, just as you have.

Calley the Cat is my fave. I learned that Fair Trade is a wonderful way for people in developing countries to lift themselves out of poverty by making crafts.
30 November 2008, 1:50 pm
Wow! All so cute, but my very favorite would be “Fair Bear”. That sweater and hat set are just adorable! Yeah, it would be FAIR BEAR!!!!!
30 November 2008, 2:01 pm
Fait Trade, I do so love Fair Trade stores.
Fair Trade gives workers a living wage rather than a minimium one. Fair Trade stops the abuse of workers; exploitation of young works to long hours in unfavourable conditions for a sadly low, low pay. Fair Trade is allowing indiginous peoples to start selling and raising money to live. Fair Trade has set up programs to help widows learn trades and start up businesses so they can rise above the meager (and I do not mean meager by US living standards). I honestly could go on and on.
This site is wonderful and added to my list of Fair Trade stores to buy from.
My favourite Jooble is: Icy the Penguin with my back-up being Calley the Cat.

Fair Trade is just what it says that you get paid by the work you do so you can rise above poverty. Its very important and I hope all businesses promote. I would love Buzzy Bug. He’s so adorable! Thank you for the chance!
30 November 2008, 2:17 pm
Thanks for having this,an I learned so much that I didnt know ,Fair Trade gives workers a living wage rather than a minimium one. Fair Trade stops the abuse of workers; exploitation of young works to long hours in unfavourable conditions for a sadly low, low pay.We should care because some of the items end up in our house,we supported it due to ignorance,which I for one am stopping,thanks
The Joobie we would choose is Jiffy the Giraffe
30 November 2008, 2:28 pm
I like Mooey Cow. We should only support Fair Trade.
30 November 2008, 3:34 pm
This past year I have been aware of Fair Trade and enjoying the products and food I have been buying because of that. These little critters are ADORABLE!
30 November 2008, 3:50 pm
I THINK PERHAPS THE QUESTION MOST OF YOU SHOULD ASK IS, WHAT DO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THESE JOBS, IN THESE CONDITIONS THINK ABOUT “NOT” HAVING THE JOB AT ALL!!! WHAT WOULD THEIR LIFE BE LIKE WITH NOTHING? YES FAIR TRADE IS HELPFUL>>BUT ONLY HELPFUL. WITH THESE SUB JOBS ATLEAST THEY HAVE SOMETHING, A STARTING POINT> PEOPLE WORKING ARE NOT STARVING AND TOTALLY HOMELESS, THEY CAN STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES, THEY CAN FIND SOMEONE TO HELP THEM. FOR NOW, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE WE SHOULD LET THEM FIND INCOME AND FOOD THE BEST THEY CAN AND THEN PERHAPS FINE THE ABUSERS FOR THE CONDITIONS AND GIVE THAT BACK TO THE WORKERS IN THE FORM OF EDUCATION.
I QUESTION A DECISION TO NOT HELP PEOPLE BECAUSE OF WHO THEY WORK FOR, THEY NEED US MOST! I QUESTION NOT HELPING WHEN WE HAVE NOT SEEN FOR OURSELVES. I QUESTION HOW HAPPY THEY YOUNG WOMAN WAS TO BE MAKING $25.00 A MONTH>> COULD SHE DO BETTER? WHAT WOULD THAT BUY? WAS THAT A LOT OF MONEY IN HER COUNTRY?
OUR COUNTRY STARTED WITH A LOT OF THESE CONDITIONS TOO AND WORSE>> AND TIME AND EFFORT, AND EDUCATION CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR ALL OF US.
I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN HELPING OTHERS AND NOT AS ASKING WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH THE MONEY. I HAVE NEVER INVESTIGATED FAIR TRADE, I DO NOT KNOW THEIR WORKS. I DO KNOW THE PERSON THAT HELPS ME, GIVES ME WORK! YOU CANNOT EAT RULES AND LIMITS. I WOULD RATHER WORK AND HAVE SOMETHING…
I KNOW I CANNOT WIN, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS.
GOD BLESS THE WORKERS IN THESE CONDITIONS AND MAY THEIR LIVES IMPROVE.
30 November 2008, 3:59 pm
Here’s mine: I hope it’s following the rules, Baby Organic Fair Bear Sweater
30 November 2008, 4:13 pm
this is going to sound obvious, but fair trade is important to ensure that everyone gets compensated fairly, not equally, for the work that they do…right now, that isn’t always the case, which is quite sad with the advances we have made in the last 20 years or so.
i think that jiffy the giraffe is my fav
30 November 2008, 5:56 pm
I love the Joobles Mooey Cow
30 November 2008, 6:04 pm
cally the cat
30 November 2008, 6:04 pm
Fair trade is paying fair wages, in the apparel industry here, for work. We should care because currently it’s a very small percentage of the textile/apparel industry! It’s on it’s way up, but needs more public interest and momentum to gain the support of larger apparel companies.
Would love to win Calley the Cat for my friend who’s due in February. Thanks!
30 November 2008, 6:35 pm
My favorite is Calley the Cat!
I like the Fair Trades concept–minimum wage has not kept up with inflation and has become a joke!
30 November 2008, 7:06 pm
You’re so right about the term sweat shop being a bit of a joke here in the US. It’s sad that we take for granted the cheapness of items, yet don’t really think about how they were made, either the human or environmental impact. I’m so impressed that the Joobles are so adorable AND made under the agreements of Fair Trade.
I think Fair Bear and Mel the Monkey are adorable, and I’d be glad to offer one of them a home with us! It would be nice to tell my son that they were made by fairly treated and fairly paid workers.
30 November 2008, 7:09 pm
And in response to Charlotte, first off, DO NOT WRITE IN ALL CAPS!! IT SEEMS LIKE YOU’RE SHOUTING!!!
Secondly, we should do all we can to support fair trade. Yes, sweat shops may be the only income for these people, but it’s also Westerners insistence on the lowest price for everything that fuels sweat shops. Consider buying less and paying more for it (not necessarily you, Charlotte, but people in general).
30 November 2008, 9:04 pm
We try and buy Fair Trade items whenever possible. The Mooey Cow is adorable!
30 November 2008, 9:06 pm
I like that Fair Indigo advocates for the fair trade movement. They provide a list of companies they know to be also involved in fair trade and also have a list that others have provided. There is no excuse for us to purchase cheap goods at the expense of others. Regarding the Joobles, I like Buzzy Bug, Mooey Cow, Icy the Penguin . . . well, gosh, I like them all
30 November 2008, 9:12 pm
Buzzy Bug would be my pick.
gkstratos@yahoo.com
30 November 2008, 9:38 pm
pay fair wages to the good people —great!

30 November 2008, 10:25 pm
I would like to win Icy the Penguin! Great giveaway! Thanks!
30 November 2008, 10:29 pm
The Joobles are all adorable, but the colors and patterns of Buzzy Bug are my favorite. Fair trade is essential if we are to have a peaceful world.
30 November 2008, 10:55 pm
Pip the dog. i believe in fair wages
30 November 2008, 11:03 pm
means fair pay for all workers (and regulations so underage, etc) don’t get abused. would choose pip the dog — adorable!
01 December 2008, 1:14 am
I would love to win the Buzzy Bug for my granddaughter!
01 December 2008, 1:47 am
I love fair trade gives them a living wage not just pay but something that is fair and reasonable…I love fairbare
01 December 2008, 1:48 am
I think it is our duty to support manufactureres who uphold a fair trade policy and NOT support those who don’t
I like
Icy the Penguin
01 December 2008, 2:40 am
I love the Jiffy the Giraffe.
01 December 2008, 2:47 am

01 December 2008, 3:05 am
I like Buzzy Bee. Laicey would love this, she’s so into bugs.
01 December 2008, 3:28 am
It is definitely a duty as a consumer to support companies that believe in fair trade policy! On a side note, I love the Jiffy the Giraffe
01 December 2008, 4:20 am
I love that they’re bringing awareness to fair trade. I’m all about paying the true value of someone’s work. I like Mel the Monkey because my husband loves monkeys as do our kids.
Reizas last blog post..What’s better than friends? Smart friends who say funny things.

Thanks!
01 December 2008, 7:49 am
Very cool site–I’m definitely bookmarking Fair Indigo. Fair trade all the way! As for the Joobles…I’m going to say Pip the Dog. They’re all so cute, it’s hard to decide!
01 December 2008, 4:56 pm
I love Jiffy the Giraffe — such bright colors would be attractive to a very little one!
01 December 2008, 6:30 pm
My favorite is Icy the Penguin. So glad of this awareness, I am a firm believer that people need to be paid what they deserve and are entitled to respect and dignity.

03 December 2008, 3:43 am
I’ve heard about sweat shops & seen them on shows like 20/20, but I didn’t realize how much of what is sold here in the US is manufactured in sweat shops. So sad & inexcusable! I really appreciate this company taking a stand to bring attention to this travesty & leading by example. I like the monkey (and the dog, too)!
Thanks!

a very important subject - fair trade. we need to know that the workers are treated and paid fairly
I like jiffy the giraffe
05 December 2008, 6:29 pm
I love Mooey the Cow, thanks for the contest.
05 December 2008, 6:38 pm
fair trade means that people in any country can make honest and fair wages without being exploited or essentially turned into slaves.
The giraffe or the cat would be fantastic!
06 December 2008, 12:30 pm
Mooey is my favorite (or Pip).
I learned that through fair trade workers are paid fairly and treated with respect. I also read this at the site and was impressed: “Several times a year, we personally visit each and every facility where the Fair Indigo label is sewn and meet the workers who are at the core of bringing you the high-quality clothing and accessories you’ll find here.”
06 December 2008, 7:01 pm
fair trade is important because it’s ethical & sustainable. fair trade also encourages better relationships between owners/management and workers. t’s also important to support fair trade & purchase fair trade products like joobles whenever possible. being an informed consumer is one of the most significant things an individual can do. my favorite jooble is fair bear, such a cute plush!
06 December 2008, 9:36 pm
Mooey Cow and I do try and support Fair Trade countries and items
07 December 2008, 1:58 am
Paying people what they deserve for a days labor. You’d think it would be a simple concept but somehow its one that many corporations have overlooked in order to make more $$$.
I love Icy the Penguin.
07 December 2008, 2:17 am
I like the Buzzie bug
07 December 2008, 5:24 am
Icy the Penguin and Pip the dog. I love that you are featuring a fair trade company. : )
07 December 2008, 5:25 am
Dugg it : ) ecomama
07 December 2008, 4:52 pm
I learned that quite simply, fair trade means that producers are paid fair prices for the products they produce, instead of the minimum prices that the marketplace will allow, as is the case in the mainstream market today.
If I win, I would want Buzzy Bug or Icy the Penguin
07 December 2008, 6:43 pm
When I went to Peru last winter, we did all of our shopping at fair trade companies. I think it is great that this product is made in Peru. I love Icy he Penguin and Jiffy the giraffe.

I dugg it! Sharilht
07 December 2008, 8:19 pm

My favorite is the Calley the Cat
Thanks for a great giveaway.
08 December 2008, 1:27 am
Fair trade is a rapidly growing movement dedicated to paying workers fair wages rather than minimum ones. ”changing the world one purchase at a time.” means that I can change the world one purchase at a time by shopping wisely, buying fair trade, sweatshop free, American made, organic and natural.
I’d like Calley the Cat

I had no idea that fair-trade coffee was so widely available. I hope that clothing follows. I like the Jiffy and Buzzy dolls. So cute. Thank you for offering these adorable dolls.
08 December 2008, 5:21 pm

Fair Trade means essentially fair pay for work in a safe environment, free of child abuse while enforcing fair labor practices. I abhor child abuse, in any form!
I like Mel the Monkey, or Mooey the Cow
09 December 2008, 12:04 am
oh these are too cute i’ve never heard or seen them before how cute- the jiffy giraffe is cutes–i also signed up for the catalog-very cute stuff!!!!

I love Jiffy Giraffe
09 December 2008, 2:47 am
I like Buzzy the Bug.
09 December 2008, 4:30 am
Fair Trade is so important for everyone around the globe. People have been working in sweat shops for far to long and companies have been getting away with it since people need to work to provide for their families. Workers deserve to be paid a fare wage for the work that they do. I refuse to buy from a company that doesn’t promote Fair Trade.
I like Pip the Dog the most.
Thank you for the great giveaway.
09 December 2008, 5:12 am
I think we really need to spread the word about Fair Trade and increase the quality of life around the world. I love the Pip the Dog!

I learned a lot about fair trade while working in a coffee shop years ago and I’m happy to see it’s expanding into other things. Hopefully someday it becomes “the norm”!
I like Jiffy the Giraffe the best. He’s so cute!!

09 December 2008, 3:25 pm
I like Buzzy Bug.
09 December 2008, 3:43 pm
They are so cute…I love Mel the monkey. Fair trade means being paid an actual living wage rather than just a minimum wage required by that country’s law. It is only fair that someone who is willing to work hard should be able to support themselves and their children. Thanks for the chance! justicecw@hotmail.com
09 December 2008, 4:13 pm
Thanks for the introduction to such a wonderful site. I will bookmark it and share it with friends and coworkers.
I love the Mel the Monkey
09 December 2008, 5:09 pm
My daughter saw the animals up on the screen and really liked them all but she picked Jiffy the Giraffe as her favorite.
09 December 2008, 5:34 pm
Bella the Bunny is too cute. The reason why fair trade is so important is because every worker deserves to be paid a fair wage for a fair day’s work, and we, as consumers, should not support products produced by employees who have not been fairly compensated. Thanks for the great product and the great giveaway!
09 December 2008, 5:56 pm
Living in Seattle, I’m well-versed in fair vs free trade (WTO, anyone?), and we support fair trade whenever we can!
I would pick Mel the monkey. My second choice would be buzzy bug. Thanks for a great giveaway!

My first choice is Pip the Dog , but I would really love to have any of them I thought they were all very cute. Fair Trade is just on of those things that is common sense to me, why wouldn’t you do it??
10 December 2008, 1:09 am
I agree that we should all only support Fair Trade…we always try to buy Fair Trade products as this should be the standard! Thanks for this opportunity and I would love Mooey or Icy!
