Why not  do some of your holiday shopping early! Check out our gift items area, right across from the wellness area. You will find an assortment of colorful,  fair trade mittens, hats, scarves and socks - great for one-of-a-kind gifts! These hand-knitted fair trade items are from AndesGifts, a west coast US company and a certified member of the Fair Trade Federation which means they respect the rights of those who work for them and make sure that they earn a fair price for what they produce. When you puchase these fair trade items, you are supporting the skilled artisans and knitters who work for AndesGifts to receive at least three times the regional average in wages in South America.  And that is the beauty of fair trade.  

The quality of the alpaca wool used to make the clothing is outstanding. Come early for best selection. Check back at our gift area as the holidays approach for new items coming in every couple of weeks.
