Hey Mac families!
It's officially gift giving season!
My love language is gift giving, so I am living my best life right now. Now I just need to win the lottery so that my gift giving abilities are unlimited. A girl can dream, right?
I wanted to bring a bit of attention to our newest partner, Handmade by Friendship Bridge®. They are an amazing group that helps women from Guatemala market their handmade products abroad. They are doing great things, and we are thrilled to collaborate with them! Over the next few months, you will see some unique and stunning handmade gift ideas... and even a giveaway or two! This week, we are giving away one of Jacinta's animal backpacks, which would be a perfect gift this holiday season.
Here are five reasons that I love Friendship Bridge:
- The artists get paid when their products are purchased, not when their products sell, so they get the financial benefit immediately. No waiting for customers to purchase their products to earn money.
- Friendship Bridge takes very little out of the selling price... only enough to cover their minimal expenses.
- Handmade by Friendship Bridge® provides training for hundreds of artisan women, empowering them to become entrepreneurs.
- The products created by the artisan women are awesome. In fact, when I recently shopped at the store, I spent hours admiring the items and trying to narrow down the ones that I would be taking home. It was almost impossible to choose!
- I absolutely love supporting small businesses, and sharing the Handmade by Friendship Bridge® artisans' stories, as well as supporting their mission, brings me joy.
Happy shopping, friends!
Peace ☮️, Love ❤️, & Macaroni 🌼,
Christen
