Ten Thousand Villages

Ten Thousand Villages partners with artisans who depend on the international market for sustainable employment. And I have found many great musical instruments and puzzles on their site, including this terracotta bird water whistle shown here.

There are biographies of the artisans to read and photographs to look at to bring you even closer to those your purchases are benefiting. The online store is certainly worth checking out the next time you're searching for a little gift for a birthday party or your hard-to-shop-for girlfriend!

Terracotta water whistle available from Ten Thousand Villages for $6.00.
