The holidays, or any gift-giving moment, are not only a chance to delight loved ones, but to choose presents that carry deeper stories and meaning. They’re a chance to choose ethical gifts that reflect your values, support real communities, and tell meaningful stories.
At LIKHÂ, every handcrafted piece is rooted in Filipino tradition, sustainability, and dignified work. Our ethical artisanal gifts are thoughtfully made using eco-friendly materials and time-honored craftsmanship, and every present carries purpose beyond the moment it’s unwrapped.
Each LIKHÂ product is handcrafted by skilled Filipino artisans who rely on their craft to support their families and communities. These fair-trade gifts are made using natural and responsibly sourced materials, ensuring both environmental and social impact.
Through our work, LIKHÂ proudly contributes to several UN Sustainable Development Goals, including:
-
No Poverty (Goal 1)
-
Decent Work & Economic Growth (Goal 8)
-
Reduced Inequalities (Goal 10)
-
Responsible Consumption & Production (Goal 12)
-
Sustainable Cities & Communities (Goal 11)
Behind The Gift:
This holiday season, we want to feature our planter community and show your impact behind the adorable animal planters. Our planters are NEST verified and ethically crafted.
Through their craft, many artisans are able to provide for their families. Antonio, a father, is able to send his daughter to school, Alberto supports his parents, Jojo has been able to pay off debts, Norma was able to have a stable source of income during the pandemic, and Richard has relied on his artistry for his livelihood his whole life.
The planter community is composed of 19 artisans with an average of 18 years of experience. They work with natural materials like coconut, abaca, and rattan but at LIKHA, are known for our signature coconut animal planters.
These planters elevate any room and are perfect for succulents, cacti, or plant cuttings. The planters are cute statements to nurseries, add a unique piece to bookshelves, or can brighten up your day in an office.
Why Gifts That Give Back Matter:
Choosing gifts that give back creates impact far beyond the recipient. Every LIKHÂ purchase supports a social enterprise committed to ethical production, environmental responsibility, and long-term artisan partnerships.
Empower artisan communities: LIKHÂ partners with Filipino artisans, ensuring fair wages, dignified work, and respect for traditional craftsmanship.
Sustainability and mindful materials: Many pieces are made from natural, eco-friendly materials like coco coir, plant fiber, sustainably sourced wood, and repurposed materials.
Timeless quality and personal meaning: Unlike mass-produced gifts, handcrafted pieces are made with intention, durability, and stories embedded, making them gifts that last and carry meaning.
