Gifts that Give Back

Silaiwali

This social enterprise in Delhi provides employment to Afghan refugee women and uses upcycled apparel fabric waste. With this scrap fabric, they developed a collection of handmade dolls that were a big hit at the Ambiente trade show in Germany. Soon afterward, World Market commissioned SilaiWali to produce a unique line using scraps from our own clothing production. This has allowed them to hire even more women and grow their concept.

Handicraft Products La Selva

This fair-trade group works with Mayan artisans in the highlands of Guatemala, helping them export handcrafted Worry Dolls so they can earn extra income. The tradition of Worry Dolls comes from the belief that if you tell your worries to one and tuck it under your pillow, you wake up worry-free. These delightful amulets make lovely globally conscious gifts.

Tony's Chocoloney

Thrill any chocoholic with a couple bars of Tony's Chocolonely. Not only is there a variety of delicious flavors, the company is actively fighting to make all chocolate worldwide 100% slave free.

ME to WE

This fair trade brand gives money towards educating children in Ecuador and provides livelihoods to local farmers.

Sackcloth & Ashes

Give two cozy gifts in one! When you buy one of their gorgeous blankets, Sackcloth & Ashes donates another blanket to a shelter for homeless people.
