Instead of just running to the Target at the last minute

Check out the sidebar on Puritas Cordis. Great sources for all kinds of gifts and greeting cards produced by monastic orders. I can personally attest to the yumminess that is the fudge sold by the Trappists in Kentucky.
You can also find cooler-than-Pier 1 multi-culti swag at Ten Thousand Villages or watch for a Work of Human Hands Bazaar at a Catholic Church near you brought to you by Catholic Relief Services Fair Trade.
As an alternative to buying the three pack of coffees from Starbucks, maybe try some of these fairtrade options through Heine Brothers in Louisville. Jhai isn't certified fair trade yet, but they have been working on that. They are a coffee company run out of Laos. This has been the brainchild of a VietNam war veteran that participated in bombing Laos and now works toward bringing economic development and opportunity to the region.
