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!

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).
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!
I would love to win the paisley perfect viscose scarf. It is so pretty. Thanks.
I would pick the aqua open weave scarf.
Their baskets caught my eye. I like the large Gumbo basket.

I would choose the Waterfall painted scarf, because I love the colors and pattern! 🙂
I would get #5-the paisley one. It would match more of my wardrobe.
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… 🙂

I’d choose the waterfall painted scarf.
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.
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!
I would love the aqua blue on. My daughter’s favorite color is blue
I’d choose the Java one because I have a friend who is a “worker” in in Indo. 🙂
