Celebrate Your Mom with Moms Around the World!

With Mother’s Day around the corner, OWM staff and volunteers have had a lot of fun picking out their favorite items that are perfect gifts to celebrate the day!

PLUS at One World Market you not only give a gift to your Mom but also to mothers around the world by shopping Fair Trade and providing them with a meaningful and respectful job!

Everyone loves the new Flip Stone Pendants from Minga Fair Trade in Peru:

Each pendant is double faced with a semi-precious stone, so you can change the color in an instant!

Need a gift for a cat loving Mom?

This mama cat and her kitten is a terra cotta lantern from Bangladesh which comes to us from an artisan group there made up of 4,000 women.  The group works with women regardless of caste, creed and race. It provides job training, develops leadership skills and generates awareness of the women’s plight.

Mom loves to garden?

This set of 3 elephant planters comes to us from the same group of women in Bangladesh.  It’s a perfect herb garden starter set!

We have planters in all shapes, sizes and colors.  Like this pretty green and white one from Vietnam.

Really, we’ve got all your planting needs covered!  From simple colors to whimsical frogs and birds, we have something every mom would love.

Simple gifts are great for moms too.  Stop by and pick up a marbled soapstone soap dish from India.  We love how it captures the suds from our soap, keeping our countertops puddle free!

Don’t forget, Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 13th!  Shop Fair Trade at One World Market, and we’ll be happy to gift wrap all your gifts for Mom.
