Ornaments 4 Orphans $15

My wife, Jamie, and I started Ornaments 4 Orphans out of our love for Christmas and our passion for helping others. We first visited Uganda on a college mission trip. While there, we were struck by the poverty, lack of development, and the people who just wanted a chance to work and provide for their families.

We came back to the states and started a non-profit to help a small orphanage and school. Out of that, we began Ornaments 4 Orphans®. Ornaments 4 Orphans® is a fair trade, social business. We sell handmade products made by artisans in Kenya, Uganda, Peru, and Nepal. All proceeds are invested back into the communities where we work to provide jobs, fight poverty, encourage sustainability, keep vulnerable children with their families and prevent them from becoming orphans. When you purchase from Ornaments 4 Orphans®, you can be certain that you are making a real difference in someone’s life across the world. Our hope is to make our world a brighter place, one fair-trade ornament at a time.

Bee’s Wrap® a Certified B Corp was founded in 2012 by Vermonter Sarah Kaeck. Bee’s Wrap started with a question: How could we eliminate plastics in our kitchen in favor of a healthier, more sustainable way to store our food?

Bee’s Wrap® is made with certified organic cotton that's coated with sustainably sourced beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin. The result? An easy, reusable, all-natural way to store food.

As both a proud B Corp and a certified Green America company, Bee's Wrap is committed to using their business as a vehicle for social change to help better the lives of their customers, employees, community, and the planet. Bee's Wrap is actively working with partners such as 1% for the Planet, The Bee Cause, The Rozalia Project, and National Geographic, pledging their support to ocean conservancy, beach cleanups, and environmental stewardship.

 Wicked Hot Candles was created by 15-year-old Lauren Montemayor of Pflugerville with the help of her Mother Linda Montemayor. While visiting friends in Boston in 2018, we fell in love with the New England area first and first heard the term “wicked” to describe something cool or awesome. One of Lauren’s favorite places is Salem and inspired many of her wax creations.

Lauren is an accomplished artist and specializes in digital art, but also creates clay sculptures, needle felt and traditional oil paintings. Linda specializes in photography and in wax creations and creating art with beads and resin. We both have combined our talents to create unique works of art in both wax and resin.
