Unique Christmas Gifts & Decor
One of my favorite places to do Christmas shopping is Ten Thousand Villages. This shop is a fair-trade organization that provides a fair income to the Third World artisans whose handicrafts they feature. You can find a variety of unique items from beautiful pottery created in Vietnam to delicate jewelry made in Nepal to purses and scarves handcrafted in Ecuador.
"Ten Thousand Villages provides vital, fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America. Ten Thousand Villages works with artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed. This income helps pay for food, education, health care and housing. Ten Thousand Villages is a nonprofit program of Mennonite Central Committee." -Ten Thousand Villages
Take a second and browse their online shop. Who knows, you may find that perfect unique gift for the most discerning person on your shopping list! Below is a selection of some of my favorite Christmas goodies from Ten Thousand Villages.
