I love this store!!! I usually visit the one in Virginia and was super excited to find one in Salem Oregon. The shop was slightly smaller but still has all the wonderful treasures and staff.

One Fair World has fun , quality, beautiful products. I look forward to seeing their new products. I love their quilling cards. I frame bigger cards for decorations and I make magnets out of the smaller cards. . I also like their Fair Trade Tea and coffee selection. One of my favorite stores for sure.

Such a cute little spot!! I got a shawl from here that's so well made and designed and their African black soap is great. The whole place is nicely put together and they have a great mission that they stand for. So happy I stopped by to check it out.

A great place for gifts. Even better, a wonderful place to teach your children about geography, handwork and ethical behavior in a very child-relatable way. My granddaughter was stunned to find out that many grocery store chocolate bars are made from beans harvested by child slave labor, for example.

Consistently very good selection of nick-nacks for gifts. A favorite stop every year for stocking stuffers. Gotta remember to check it out in Summer ?

They have an awesome collection of things made from artists around the world. Even though my husband and I didn’t need more stuff, I found some cool spices to try.I also decided to try the purple chocolate tea. It doesn’t come out purple (that’s the color of the type of tea leaf). It’s delicious!!

This is a difficult review for me to write. Let me start off by saying that I actually love this store AS A STORE. There aren't many places in Salem where you can feel a part of the world culture. Where else in Salem can you get a figurine of a man on a bicycle made out of a Coke can by an artisan in Madagascar? I have only had positive experiences in this store, and I do believe everyone's heart is in the right place. The reason I give it a three star review is because .... I just am not sure that in the long run this store helps anyone AS A VEHICLE OF SOCIAL JUSTICE. One Fair World is basically a retail store specializing in "world products," no different from Keizer's World Market. But because One Fair World has the designation of "fair trade," the suggestion is that the people in the developing nations who create these products actually earn a sustainable wage from their sale. I'm not so sure that's true. I have read articles that say that fair trade in the long run doesn't benefit anyone, because the cost of certification to be fair trade is so high. It works out the same as retail overall. I do believe that everyone's heart is in the right place. But if you really want to help poor people, shop at the Salvation Army, which actually helps the homeless, or shop at the Goodwill, which actually employs the disabled, etc.

I do almost all of my gift shopping here, and am always tempted to take home half the store for my own home. Hard to describe the variety of inventory here, but the staff are very helpful if you need any kind of assistance.

I was looking for unique gifts for girlfriends. Found everything I needed in 20 minutes - highly unusual for me. I was able to find gifts that seemed 'one of a kind' for each of my friends' special interests. It is fun going in to see what is new to the store. I highly recommend visiting One Fair World.

All or most of the staff are volunteers. Cool, eclectic gifts for yourself and/or others.
