Gift shopping is now on everyone’s mind for this coming holiday season (see TreeHugger’s holiday gift guide) and Therapy In A Box is giving shoppers the opportunity to give back. Their new Fair Trade Collection features recycled telephone wire baskets, which are handmade by the Zulu people of South Africa, and are available in four different themes that feature organic and all-natural products: “Imagine,” “Dream,” “Harmony” and “Kindness.” By purchasing one of these gift baskets, Therapy In A Box will donate 10% of this collection’s proceeds to A Bridge For Africa, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting self sufficiency and the dignity of work in rural Africa. The donations pay the artisans a living wage and are also reinvested in further jobs, training and development. The gift baskets range from $86-$250. Thanks for the tip, green LA girl! ::Therapy In A Box
