OK so if you really really have to buy something for your friends and family for christmas, why not make it something handmade? That way they’ll love it more. Your community will love you more. The planet will love you more. And of course your soul will love you more.
There’s bazillions of wonderful products on the internet to peruse. Why not start at Mintd. And if you just love the hands on experience, try a market. You might have to do a wee bit of research to find one near you, but that’s not that hard really. And you’re guaranteed to meet some wonderful people in your community who make fabulous things. Melbourne people can check out this site for a guide to all the markets.
Oh and take the pledge!
