Trades of Hope is a great organization to do your Christmas shopping from. Stores like this are my favorites because you can get so much of your shopping done in one shop! They have scarves, jewelry, ornaments, house ware, etc. I love a one stop shop, which is probably why Target gets me in so much trouble.
Trades of Hope is letting me pick two winners for this one and has two great gifts for you. These would both make great gifts for people on your list. I'm hoping to help you scratch people off your list with items that make a difference. Isn't that what we want?!? So good!
This amazing scarf could be yours and let me tell you this scarf is great. I wore this the other night to a party and it automatically makes your daytime outfit go to nighttime when you add this. It's classy and beautiful. Oh I loved it so much!
The next thing that Trades of Hope is offering is a beautiful tri-fold manger scene that is made from recycled tin, once 55-gallon drums! The drums are cut open, hammered flat, and marked with designs. The designs are then implemented with a hammer and chisel. This is more than just a wonderful piece for the Christmas season, but a token of support towards these Haitian people working to provide for their families.
One of our most favorite pieces of wall art in our home is a nativity scene that we bought in Haiti that is made from recycled steel drums. I'm so happy to add this one to my collection. This nativity scene is $38 and would make a great gift for that girlfriend in your life!
Good luck and happy shopping at Trades of Hope!

Nope!
Ha! No!!!
No, no presents wrapped yet!
I have wrapped almost all the gifts we’ve bought so far! But I’ll still be up late doing it the night before Christmas I’m sure.
two weeks out… i’m not that on top of things 🙂
Not the first one!
no way!
I just did this weekend!!!
no, no presents wrapped!
Almost done shopping and wrapping with the exception of a few little items. That nativity would be PERFECT!!
Trades of Hope sounds like another awesome organization. The scarf is beautiful! 2013 has been the year I decided that I really like to wear scarfs, so adding this to my smallish collection would be great. I collect nativity sets, and I absolutely love the one pictured in this post!
I have not had to wrap one single gift because I have ordered everything online!
I haven’t even bought any presents to wrap yet…hahaha.
Have not yet wrapped, but all my shopping is done 🙂
almost done 🙂
Does putting the earrings inside the gift box the store gives you count? If not, no I have not wrapped any presents yet! I have however, been looking on Pinterest for cool ways to wrap and printed off some of my own paper today!
This is wonderful! I hope it’s ok to answer all the questions here! My favorite beach is Race Point Beach in Provincetown…you can watch the sunrise and sunset over the ocean without ever moving! It’s pretty awesome! I pay it forward in small ways all the time….whenever the opportunity arises! Nothing big yet though! Have I wrapped any presents yet…sadly no is the answer…still working feverishly to finish making them….all handmade in our family! Happy Holiday to all!
not a single one!!
I’ve only gotten one present wrapped and it’s already been given…now to wrap some more…
Love the scarf! As for the presents? Nope! Ha! We don’t put presents under the tree until the kids go to bed on Christmas Eve, so I have time. 😉
