Looking for a meaningful way to give this holiday season? HAF\u2019s\u00a0Made in Morocco<\/em>\u00a0partners might just have the thing you are looking for! Our partners are committed to using local materials and talent to produce high quality products that respect both the environment and the people who create them. They partner with us on events, contribute in-kind services and products, and donate a percentage of their sales to HAF.<\/p>\n

When you purchase a gift from one of our partners, you\u00a0will not only\u00a0give something beautiful, but you\u2019ll be\u00a0bringing clean drinking water to rural villages, planting fruit trees\u00a0so families can\u00a0increase household incomes, and helping women form cooperatives to provide for themselves and their children.<\/p>\n

GREEN SAHARA GIFTS: UNIQUE, HANDCRAFTED, AND SUSTAINABLE<\/a><\/h2>\n

A wide assortment of beautiful gifts \u2013 from\u00a0candle holders<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0cutting boards<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0tea trays<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 handcrafted from reclaimed and sustainably harvested Moroccan olive, walnut, cedar, and juniper woods. We were thrilled that Green Sahara Gifts donated their elegant\u00a0three-hole candle holders<\/a>\u00a0for guests at HAF\u2019s fifth annual NYC event to take home. Green Sahara Gifts’ parent company, Green Sahara Furniture, was featured in the fall issue of\u00a0Royal Air Maroc\u2019s in-flight magazine<\/a>\u00a0(and mentions our partnership to replant trees in Morocco!).<\/p>\n

MOROCCAN PRESTIGE: CUSTOM DESIGNS FROM MOROCCO TO YOUR HOME<\/a><\/h2>\n

With so many beautiful things to choose from, where do you start? Our favorites include these\u00a0bright blue glass perfume bottles<\/a>, made from recycled materials and finished with authentic delicate Moroccan metal work. They were recently featured in\u00a0Lucky<\/a>\u00a0magazine.<\/p>\n

We also love these French vintage\u00a0Latoile\u00a0leather poufs<\/a>. \u00a0Fun and colorful, they can be used outdoors or indoors. This design is exclusive to Moroccan Prestige, and they were recently featured in\u00a0Interior Design<\/a>magazine.<\/p>\n

JEANNE BEATRICE: HANDMADE MARKET BASKETS<\/a><\/h2>\n

One woman\u2019s quest to replace paper and plastic bags in US households led to the birth of Jeanne Beatrice. With so many styles to choose from, there is sure to be something for everyone on your list. Perfect for a trip to the\u00a0grocery store, a day at the beach, or a picnic in the park. We are huge fans of\u00a0La Vie<\/a>, featured in the November 2009 issue of\u00a0Romantic Homes Magazine<\/a>. (P.S. free shipping on orders over $100!)<\/p>\n

THE BUTTER MAN: A CHILDREN\u2019S STORY SET IN THE HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS<\/a><\/h2>\n

Recipient of nine notable awards, most recently a\u00a0Children\u2019s Africana Honor Book<\/a>,\u00a0The Butter\u00a0Man is the perfect gift for Morocco lovers \u2013 both young and old. Shortly after its release, in the spring of 2008, HAF teamed up with the book\u2019s authors, Ali Alalou and Elizabeth Letts Alalou (RPCV Morocco 1983-1986), and illustrator, Julie Klear Essakalli, to share their Moroccan tale of \u201cpatience, perseverance, and hope\u201d with HAF friends and supporters.<\/p>\n
