About Giving Gifts
“Buy the change you want to see in the world”. Lisa was on her 3rd maternity leave (in 3 years) when she was watching Oprah and heard that quote. As someone who loves to shop and loves to shop ethically, it inspired her to start an online store in 2010.
We brought together eco-friendly and fair trade brands making a difference in the world. Brands made by local artists were added to the store in 2013 when Giving Gifts opened its first brick and mortar location.
Our Mission
“Buy the change you want to see in the world”
(a variation of the famous Gandhi Quote)
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead
“Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it.”
Wilferd Peterson
Our gifts are a celebration of passion and courage and reflect the lives of people determined to live their dreams.
We empower local artists, promote eco-friendly products, support fair trade practices and carry environmentally and socially sustainable brands making a difference in our world to bring you the best gifts filled with love.
We invite you to step inside and experience the power of community and creativity in the spirit of giving.
We want you to LOVE WHAT YOU GIVE!
About The Store
Lisa founded Giving Gifts as a way of bringing together brands that are changing the world and local artists who are making a difference through their creations.
The store is made up of dreamers and believers. Thanks for inspiring us and being inspired by us. Together we know we can make a difference and leave the world better than when we found it.
A gift is beautiful, but a gift with a story behind it is beautiful and meaningful.
Thanks for Giving Gifts! We know you will LOVE what you give!
