Cards & Gifts

The Book Corner stocks greeting cards that bring messages of encouragement, sympathy, joy, and celebration. All cards are priced below retail and without tax.



Baskets from South Africa

Baskets made by the Zulu, the largest tribe in South Africa, using recycled telephone wire. These bright, washable and sturdy baskets, called mbenge in the native language, come in myriad colors and intricate, mesmerizing designs. These unique baskets are especially functional and can be washed in warm, soapy water. This Fair Trade cottage industry (Baskets of Africa) has grown from 80 part time weavers to over 600 full time weavers.



Snacks

Grown with care by small farmers here in the US, these snacks are now available in resealable, 5 oz packages. Since 1986, Equal Exchange has been building Fair Trade by partnering with small farmer co-ops in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Now they are extending their model to family farmers, farm workers, and farmer co-operatives here in North America. With your help, let’s Bring Fair Trade Home also.



Gift bags

Small gift bags are now available for purchase. The gift bags are perfect for jewelry, crosses, soap, original T-bag art, etc. Tuck a card into the gift bag and your gift is ready for that special someone.

T-Bag Designs

More coasters, cards, and boxes crafted by South African women, from Original T-Bag Designs.
