Holiday Shopping Around the Corner


Check out the products at Global Girlfriend.  My mom brought this site to my attention (go mom!) after having attended a function where they had a number of sample products.  She purcahsed one of the recycled plastic handbags and not only did it look cool, it was a very good quality!  Women would scavenge the trash to find plastic grocery bags, and then iron them flat, layering them and finally ironing against newprint (or another colored material) to pick up the color.  The site supports women's products, paying them so that they can form their own businesses, offering business loans, etc. allowing them to support themselves and improve their situation.
