*2* Gift Ideas 2011

Hello WebWanderers!

Here is the second episode of  'Gift Ideas 2011'.

Today I've chosen a British website MimosaStyle whose philosophy is the following: 

"At Mimosa Style we believe you can have the best of both worlds….. beautiful, stylish products that have been fairly traded without exploitation. We carefully select our suppliers to ensure that the original, chic fashion accessories, jewellery and gifts from around the world that we offer have been made by local craftsmen and women who are fairly paid and work in decent conditions. We are also keen to promote use of natural materials from sustainable sources in the making of the fabulous items you can find at Mimosa Style.  So if you want to look good and feel good then why not add a little Mimosa Style to your life!"

Now that we know something about it let's have a look at my picks...
