Register at Ten Thousand Villages for fair trade wedding gifts
Filed under: Gifts and Registries, Culture Clash
Ten Thousand Villages is one of the largest fair trade organizations in North America, operating over 160 retail stores in North America as well as their online shop. The company sells handmade crafts from artisans all over the world, many of which make great wedding gifts. In fact, you can register online or in Ten Thousand Villages stores for gifts like pottery, candlesticks, wall hangings, tablecloths, and much, much more. A great feature of the organization's website is that when you click on any item, you get a description of the item, its maker, and customer reviews.
Personally, I prefer housewares and decorations with a cultural feel over most things that can be purchased at department stores these days anyway. Ten Thousand Villages is always one of my first stops when shopping for wedding gifts, and I give it my highest recommendations.
