Say Happy Easter by being  a good egg and giving good gifts. Even if you’re shopping last minute, it’s easy to find good gifts right away at stores open on Easter. Instead of buying chocolate made by child labor, choose from these chocolate brands that are fair trade and organic and are available in grocery stores, supermarkets and drug stores.

1. You can find Dagoba Organic Chocolate in Whole foods. Founder Frederick Schilling, explains “If true chocolate is to be kept in existence, we must encourage sustainable production of fine flavor cacao, through partnerships where farmers earn enough to do this.”

2. Luckily, you don’t have to go to Ithaca to find Art Bars (Ithaca Fine Chocolates’). They’re available at several stores throughout the country. Just click the Art Bars Near You link to see where you can buy these fair trade certified chocolates.

3. Newman’s Own Organics chocolate bars are made on child labor-free Latin American farms where nobody “owns” anybody. But if you want to buy, give or own any Newman’s Own chocolate, choose among these stores, including Whole Foods and Henry’s/Wild Oats. Eat like stars (Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward)!

4. Green and Black’s chocolates are green-friendly and slavery-free and available at Whole Foods, Henry’s/Wild Oats.

Last week I promised it was possible to buy your valentine a great gift without selling your soul and Monday I put up a list of 10 great guilt-free jewelry gifts, so you Valentine’s Day shoppers should be all set. But, for those of you who still haven’t bought the special gift for that special someone, it’s not too late. If your valentine has a sweet tooth, and prefers chocolate to jewels, what could be sweeter than chocolate that tastes great and isn’t the product the exploitation and slavery of children. The reality of most chocolate production is sad and scary: According to the State Department, more than 109,000 children in the Ivory Coast’s cocoa industry work under “the worst forms of child labor,” 10,000 of whom are victims of human trafficking or enslavement. And with the U.S. consuming 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate annually, nearly half of the world’s supply, we can help end child labor chocolate production. So this Valentines Day, even if you’re last minute and don’t have time to order online, say “I love you” with slavery-free chocolates!

By searching Fair Trade Federation’s Website, I found 65 stores carrying fair trade chocolates and other fair trade guilt-free Valentine’s Day gifts. Here are some of my faves

1. If you live in the Bay Area (of course) or Portland, you can go to Global Exchange Stores and buy a chocolate assortment box to exchange with your valentine.

2. A Greater Gift, has stores in Maryland and Wisconsin , and is sold in several other locations, so it won’t be hard to find a Divine Chocolate Gift Set and support a farmers’ cooperative in Ghana.
