As the summer months are fast approaching backyard BBQ’s are definitely on my mind. The one thing that I love buying is new and exciting backyard textiles, table top accessories, and anything else that catches my fancy. This year I’m thinking globally and you should too when buying accessories for the BBQ festivities. World of Good is a fair trade gift company that distributes great quality hand-made crafts and merchandise to many mainstream markets. There are so many wonderful products that are crafted by artisans to help sustain a means to support themselves and their families.
Here are some great finds that will definitely spice up your BBQ bash.
These colorful napkins are woven by the Cakchiquel people in a rural agricultural village in Guatemala. The sale of their products is used to send children to school. Cotton Candy Napkins

These great salad tongs are crafted in the homes of artisans in the Ha Tay province in Vietnam and help create employment, reduce poverty and preserve cultural traditions. Moo-ve Over for Fair Trade Serving Set

Spread these candleholders around (put citronella in to keep pesky mosquitoes away) your backyard for a touch of elegance. This holder is crafted by teacher based in a small Bali village, who earns supplemental income for his family by handcrafting this unique design from real bamboo. Midsummer Light Candle Holder

Independent Vietnamese artisans in the Cat Dang Village craft them using a long tradition of hand-coiled bamboo. Great look and great for the environment! Bamboolicious Bowl
