A Basket For Her
CLOSED
We're giving away another basket of some of our most favorite and beautiful things. All in honor of the Congolese mother we don't know, but who needs our support. Read this blog post to learn more about where the proceeds from this basket will go. This collection is worth over $300. Every item was donated by companies and friends who believe in what Reeds of Hope is doing. That means every cent of your $10 donation goes directly to a vulnerable mother in Congo.
Our generous friends over at May Designs have donated one of their super pretty, yet totally functional May Books. You will receive a code to customize your own May Book with their endless choices of layouts, papers, and fonts!
Donated by a generous friend, this aqua and cream colored Bindya NY scarf is the perfect accessory. Lightweight and sophisticated, it is a blend of silk and wool. Inspired by international travel, we hope you love this scarf as much as we do.
Notes from a Blue Bike has challenged us to slow down and consider what it means to live intentionally. This book is a must read for anyone who sometimes finds the world a bit too chaotic and crazy.
A poster from our friends at She Reads Truth. Something beautiful to remind you of something profound. And to think our sisters in Congo read and meditate on this same passage...
Designed exclusively for Reeds of Hope by Josephine Dayco Lock, these postcards put a powerful visual to an ancient Congolese proverb. This message is really at the heart of all we do, we love us some Jos!
In case you haven't noticed, we're a little obsessed with this Theo Congo coffee and cream milk chocolate. Straight up delicious and benefiting people in Eastern Congo, what's not to love?
Made in Tanzania, this basket is both functional and decorative. It measures 11" x 12" and is made from woven grass.
The Fiji Necklace from 31 Bits is just as beautiful as it is purposeful. Made in Uganda, this company seeks to improve the lives of women and their communities by making beautiful jewelry through a holistic development program.
Another gift from the special team over at Sseko. You will receive a $25 gift card to buy something special made by women in East Africa. Not only does your purchase get you something amazing, it also provides an opportunity for young women to go to college!
Coffee + Crumbs is an inspiring, collaborative blog about motherhood. They donated this set of 6 gold foil pressed notecards made by Odd Daughter Paper Company in honor of the mothers we support. Oh how we love them!
Coffee. Need we say more? Delicious, freshly roasted beans from Rwanda. Naturally crop to cup. You're welcome. "This cup springs at you like the impalas that dwell among the region." How can you not want to try it after that?
Nothing sentimental about this, we just love Bare Minerals and their natural approach to beauty. The set includes both a lipstick and a lipgloss in coordinating shades- a soft neutral pink.
A favorite memoir from our team of volunteers. And perfect for the theme of this basket, you're going to want to curl up a cup of your Rwandan coffee and Congolese chocolate to dive in to this book.
This little terrarium holds a tillandsia nestled on a bed of moss. Affectionally called the air plant, this little habitat will bring some green and life to your home with minimal attention. Instructions for care will be mailed to the winner.
