In 1999 the International Gift Festival was held with the dream of bringing attention to ethical, people focused and earth honoring gift options.

Our goal remains the same, addressing economic and social injustice through purchasing handcrafted objects that have a life of meaning behind them; supporting the empowerment of others both locally and globally. Our partners share in the same vision; using the gifts they are given to care for others.

We are encouraged with each new collaboration and welcome you to get to know more about our friends.
