Beautiful Gifts - Made by Survivors

Who doesn't like to receive beautiful handmade items as gifts? I absolutely love it, and that's why I'm a huge supporter of buying handmade whenever possible.

MadeBySurvivors.com is a unique type of handmade. Everything handcrafted and sold on this site is made by men, women and children that have been rescued out of slavery and are rebuilding their lives through artisan opportunities.

I've gotten absolute joy of wearing this Spring a beautiful handcrafted batik scarf ($25). My favorite part of wearing it is when I get complimented on it (and I get tons) I get to share the story about where it came from and who the artist was.
