Here are some fabulous ways to give a special gift to someone you love this Christmas:
Ten Thousand Villages: Run by the Mennonites, this fair-trade website has all kinds of lovely gifts made by men and women all over the world--from home decor to jewelry.
Heavenly Treasures: Recommended by Natalie--it's somewhat similar to Ten Thousand Villages in its offerings. The most fun thing? They have pretty Ethiopian Coptic crosses--for the home, and as necklaces.
Heifer, International: This is a fun idea--in your loved one's name, give a goat, a pig, or little flock of chicks to a family in poverty. Or, of course, a heifer. :)
World Vision: A lot like Heifer: You can even buy fruit tree saplings so a family can start an orchard!
Happy Shopping!
