The holiday season is here and there are products we featured during the year that we find worth repeating, plus some others, as possible Christmas, Kwanzaa, and other holiday gifts:
 
Rwandan Tea in America Via the Fair-Trade Economic Model
On my shopping list for gifts are Loose Leaf Tulsi Lemongrass and the loose teas in cannisters. The loose teas were my favorite. The company’s products are gluten free, naturally vegan, pesticide free, plant based, women owned, and BPA (bisphenol A) free.

Artist Commissions Creation of Shoes
The Italian company, Alive Shoes, “are easy to work with,” says Ken Gwira, “every thing is done online. The company provided the shoe platform, Gwira selected the custom materials, colors, and branding. Alive Shoes also provides free shipping to Europe and the USA.

The books are a 20 to 30-year old “pipe dream,” that came true when Covenant Books just released his “If I Lived Next Door To Heaven” ($13.95) and “Naomi, the Raven, and Bullies at the Dance ($14.95).”
