So, it is a little painful when we fill an order for something costing $49.99 and then the person pays $5.00 for shipping. So here is a suggestion to spend your money on product, instead of shipping. Observe:

$24.99

+ $14.99

+ $14.99
Subtotal

$49.93
Must pay for Shipping

+ $5.00
Total

$54.93

$24.99

+ $14.99

+ $14.99

+ $5.99
Total with FREE SHIPPING!!!

$55.92

So you just got yourself some fine, fair trade coffee for 99 cents!

He was traveling in the US when the earthquake happened. His family is safe as well. Their are about 200 refugees camping near his house with food and water running out quickly. He does not know anything about his workers and he is having difficulty reentering Haiti.

As you probably know, on Tuesday, the island of Haiti has experienced a devastating earthquake destroying much of the infrastructure. The damage and casualties are mounting as international aid is in route.

As of yet, we have heard from some producer groups in Haiti, but we have not heard from the producer groups that make our recycled metal artwork. We are optimistic knowing that they have more urgent needs at this time.

Please keep the people of Haiti in your thoughts and prayers during this tragic struggle.

Committed to Haiti,

Yes it is true. Your favorite fair trade gifts can now be gift wrapped in fair trade, handmade, embroidered, luxury wrapping paper. OK, ok…The luxury might be a stretch, but this paper is so nice it comes in sheets, not rolls. That is, when we buy it, in comes in sheets. When you buy it, it is attached to a box in an attractive way.

Most things can be gift wrapped for $6, but some of our larger items cost $8.

While supplies last, we are sending all jewelry purchases in these handmade pouches from Mariakani, Kenya. They are quite nice and help provide opportunities for women to provide for themselves and their families. Lifeworks Partnership is doing great work preventing HIV through sustainable job creation. Colors, of course, vary. A $5 value!

If Auto Tweet by Joefish is as good as it’s ranking, it will be the newest additions to our list of awesome code. Kind of a fair trade attitude in programming.
