This year is different. Everything you feel, say, and do is different and matters like never before.
So, how about we let the good gifts roll?
Explore our brand new GOOD Market, a curated shop of goods that do good, and discover the perfect gifts for your quirky, picky, practical, eccentric, “don’t know what to give them” family and friends.
On the giving side — every one of these is a gift that gives back. We believe in the power of your purchase, in sharing the best of humanity with the rest of the world, so every GOOD Market purchase supports local artisans and social causes around the world.
GOOD Market is a collaboration with NOVICA, one of the world’s largest impact marketplaces for artists and artisans around the world. Here, you’ll find gifts that fit the person, not just the holiday. You’ll find something for every friend and family member and a great way to celebrate a year where some days seem to have been built around waiting for a delivery.
Here are a few suggestions for keeping this holiday season meaningful and memorable.
Gifts for those Home Not Alone or Family Gifts
In a year of laughter and tears, it’s time to find the perfect gift to express all they mean to you whether you’re bound to them 24/7 or only sharing a screen.
GOOD Market’s Artisan Gifts by global artisans range from the cool to the beautiful to the “you’ve got to be kidding me-posting this right now” kind of gifts. They include jewelry and apparel, original one-of-kind artworks, archeological replicas, global decor, and countless other cultural treasures. Gifts as special as they are.

Stocking Stuffers
Face masks have replaced the season’s ubiquitous socks and you’ll find hundreds of GOOD Face Masks perfect for gifting. These are truly gifts that give back. This year tourism is down and local markets have closed forcing many artisans to make face masks to survive and the results have been amazing.
Artisans have been able to support their families, offer work to their neighbors, and keep global craft traditions alive all while helping the rest of us to mask up.

Find the good in everything, after all that’s what this season is all about — show someone you care for them and acknowledge the care they show you. Choose gifts that give back. As the saying goes: it’s the thought that counts. And there is a lot of thought and love behind a handmade gift that gives back to the hands that made it.
