Huaywasi's 2019 Ethical Gift Guide
The Holidays are coming faster than ever and we all know the struggle of finding the perfect gifts for your relatives and friends. Use this guide to make your lives a little easier, which not only includes our products but also other Fair Trade and/or ethical goodies to get you inspired!
1. For Him
Whether it’s your brother, uncle, boyfriend, or dad, we all know that gifts for men are more difficult to find than for women. We think that our Zachary Cowlneck fits every style and age and is perfect to keep him warm as winter approaches!
Want to show a little more love? Pair our cowlneck with the Matt+Nat Vegan Leather Card Holder! They keep wallets simple, classy, and functional at an affordable price.

2. For the Moms and Grandma’s
We all know our moms and grandmothers love to have the whole family come together around the holidays, decorating their homes to create a warm Christmas ambiance full of love and laughter. Help them out this season by gifting our Christmas ornaments - each handcrafted with love by Saida. Using our bundle deal to buy all 4 colors, you get a 20% discount and keep one for yourself too!
Add on a nice winter candle to compliment the ornaments for an extra cosy living room with the Terralite Woodlands Candle-- keeping the smell of Christmas pine needles around the house all year around.

3. For your Bestie
Our besties deserve the best, which means we want them to to stay warm and fashionable in the worst winter storms! Our cute Ayacucho Headwrap made from 100% alpaca yarn will keep her/his ears protected while looking cute and classy.
The headwraps are available in three colors and can be paired with other knitwear from our collection. These Terra Gold Hoops from Purpose Jewelry form a beautiful combination while wearing the headwrap to treat your bestie a little more.

4. For your Environmentally Responsible Friend
The Chan Chan wristlet is a useful addition to every wardrobe: a small but practical purse created to fit the essentials- cell phone, cards, and keys.
This wristlet was made by Herminia from upcycled suede in an old collection dress that we never put into production! Pairing a warm tela andina pattern with the camel colored suede produced the perfect ethical and sustainable bag.
Want to take sustainability a step further? We think the Sea Shell (Mandala Edition) Pela Case and the Chan Chan wristlet are the perfect match!
