🇪🇺 BEDDING AND TOWELS

One changes the world luxuriating with the fair-trade, organic-cotton sheet and towels sets of Yumeko. I have received some of them in bags and pouches that make excellent travel companions.

🌎 Business Cards

These business cards are made from old t-shirts! You can use your own design or templates provided on the site. I do advise noting — when ordering — that you don’t want to receive publicity materials along with the cards, since I got a lot…

🌍 Notebooks

SukhamWomenscraft, which is based in Germany, sells notebooks made by women in rural Bangladesh from environmentally friendly materials. Deliciously soft paper!

🌏 Zippers

Zipper Shipper, a family business based in the United States, offers zippers in all kinds of shapes, colors, and sizes. A long green one gave my good old winter coat a new lease on life. I have to admit the zipper held its own for only two years, but I’ve ordered a new one: Zipper Shipper still offers a great way to keep my coat alive!
