Such cute Thank You notes!
Yesterday I posted a little list of gifts I loved and have personally purchased or received. This is part two of my Fair Trade Gift Ideas post. It’s made of things I found and just think are cute, but haven’t seen in real life. It includes some things from Ten Thousand Villages, which not only has an online store, but a physical store in Pasadena!
Literally just saw this style in a non-fair trade store for the same price.
I feel like I see this style everywhere.
Such fun colors. Seriously looks like Pottery Barn to me.
Maybe I like this one more?
Ok, this is a bit fancier and pricier, but it feels like it'd be on HGTV.
There are other wood puzzles and chess sets, but I think the heart is cute.
We have a patio and my husband grows all sorts of things. This is a good size for thyme or any other herb.
One final idea: I love giving in someone’s honor by buying from a Gift Catalog from World Vision, Empowering Lives International, Heifer International, or Compassion. If you get an animal based gift, you can tack on a cute stuffed version of the same animal to go with the card.
What’s missing? I’d love other recommendations!
