Most people look forward to gift-giving during Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa. Gift-giving is a holiday tradition, so people put a lot of thought into their choices. This year, we give you a wealth of options, from ethical gifts to delightful eye candy.
CONSCIOUS CREATIONS
One primary consideration when giving presents is their longevity. People want their recipients to use the gifts for long, as is the case for quality items. Gifters wish to give experiential gifts. In turn, they hope the giftees will enjoy them and create lasting memories.
At Likha, we invest in creating truly unique, lasting quality pieces. Our artisanal home decor, trinkets, and other handmade creations are carefully made. Some may call it Santa’s Workshop in the spirit of the Christmas season; we call it our artisan atelier. Each product on our website and shelves shows our makers' creativity and hard work. They are skilled craftspeople from our partner communities in the Philippines. Each basket, necklace, or purse bears our makers' mark. It shows excellence, uniqueness, and a rich cultural heritage. Every color, texture, and design reflects the region. They make each product a one-of-a-kind creation.
Our partner communities are educated, empowered, and environmentally conscious. They learn from age-old traditions passed down through the generations. Yet, they also use modern practices to work more efficiently. They earn 41% more than other jobs in the region. They are aware of the ecological impact of our processes. With them, we have earned a NEST-certified and Fair Trade Federation membership. We create products that can be enjoyed over time and offer ongoing benefits.
GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING
Gift-giving is usually a meaningful expression of affection, fondness, or respect. More often, people take the time to consider what to give in the hopes that the recipient will like the gift. As the holidays approach, we aim to help you with your gift list. We offer options that will please almost everyone. Remember, the joy of giving is as rewarding as receiving.

A SEASON OF GIVING
Holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa remind us to pause, no matter how long the year has been or how fast time has passed. These holidays act as year-end reminders to reflect on and celebrate the year that was. Each day is a blessing; the past is gone, and the future is something to look forward to. Treat today as a gift. Be present with others. Choose a gift that will make them remember you fondly as the new year begins.
