*** This giveaway is now closed. ***

I’m excited to be participating in the Dreaming of a Green Christmas Giveaway Bash this week along with several other green bloggers.  We’ll be giving you the opportunity to win green Christmas gifts for your family, friends, or yourself!  Be sure to check out the other great giveaways at the end of this post.

Today’s giveaway is sponsored by Ten Thousand Villages.  I love Ten Thousand Villages.  I really, really do.  They sell high quality products that are unique and look amazing.  I own many things from Ten Thousand Villages.  I’ve often said that I wish my whole house would look like a Ten Thousand Villages store!

Even more impressive than the products, is the mission of store.  Ten Thousand Villages is a fair trade organization.  That means that the products are made by individuals who are being paid a fair price.  In a world filled with sweat shops, trying to make products as cheap as possible, this is huge step in the right direction.  When you buy something from Ten Thousand Villages, you can feel good knowing that you are making a positive financial impact on a real person.

Being fair trade isn’t the only “green” aspect of Ten Thousand Villages.  They also use recycled and natural materials in many of their products.  Check out their green gift suggestions for a glimpse of what they have to offer.

I am thrilled with the Java Sunset Rayon scarf they sent me.  It is light weight enough to wear even in the summer time, the fabric is beautiful, and the length is great for experimenting with different ways to wear the scarf.  Here are a few ways that I came up with:

  

  

Investing in a great scarf is a fun, frugal way to add some excitement to your wardrobe!

Disclosure: One winner will be chosen by random & notified by email after this giveaway closes on November 23, 2011 at 11:59 PM.  Giveaway is open to USA only.  I received one scarf to review and keep.  All opinions are my own.  If you enjoy reading silly fine print like this then be sure to check out my full disclosure policy.

    Those are beautiful scarves! I would choose the Waterfall Painted Scarf, it’s got great colors and love the painted look.

  4. Ruth C. says

    The Fireworks Lacquer Vases caught my eye but I didn’t even scratch the surface while browsing. So much to choose from! Wonderful company, thanks for sharing it with us!

  17. Robin says

    Wow – what unique items – saw several items that caught my eye as personal likes and gifts for friends/relatives.

  23. Julie says

    Love the recycled silk scarf! Love Ten Thousand Villages too! We have a local store that purchases their goods.

  25. Julie says

    Lots of things from the website caught my eye, but I would have to say the Mayan Roots scarf is my favorite. What a beautiful to honor my boys’ heritage (both adopted from Guatemala).

  26. Kristy says

    This is a hard decision…they are all beautiful. I think I’d go for the waterfall painted scarf because I don’t have anything like it. I think my second choice would be the green and blue viscose scarf. So hard to choose though, any would be great!

  32. Emily says

    I went to Ten Thousand Villages site I have always loved the vietnamese blue and white ceremic pieces. Right now they just have one called an all occasions tray.

  44. Emily says

    I love the aqua one. It seems very light and it will add some color for those long winter months.

    P.S. You look beautiful!

  45. Emily says

    I really enjoy their jewelry. I have gotten many items there. My favorite is our brown, wooden necklaces : )

  49. Carrie says

    I’d choose either the Blue&Green Viscose scarf or the Aqua open weave scarf. By the way, cute baby bump!! 🙂

  56. Anita says

    I have a number of things from Ten Thousand Villages and always enjoy browsing the store, especially the sale room. Would probably say the home decor items interest me the most.

  59. Lisa says

    I probably wouldn’t shop online here-there is one in the next town over! I know you know that-I got a gift cert for there once… 🙂

  64. Leah Tillitson says

    I visited ten thousand villages and their toys caught my eye! They looks like older toys and are very unique!

  66. maria says

    I’d love a Nicaraguan hammock from the website…I went there about a year and a half ago and I love to try to support people with a fair wage!

  68. Johnny Rhea says

    Love the scarves! I’ll pass on the give away, but had to stop in and say they look wonderful. They’ll make a great accessory for someone just in time for the cooling seasons.

  70. Kim says

    I’d choose the Paisley Perfect… I love grey!

    I also LOVE Ten Thousand Villages. We used to have a shop nearby when I lived in PA, but I’m not sure about here in CA. I especially love their Christmas stuff and have several decorations from there that I put on my tree every year.

  71. Jess S says

    Hmm, that’s a tough decision, but I think I would go with the Green & Blue Viscose Scarf. I could match that to about anything!

  73. Nicole @ Simple Organic says

    I’d choose the Java one because I have a friend who is a “worker” in in Indo. 🙂
