Pay It Forward

 • 

ties and whimsy

While giving a little every day might be something we endeavour to practice in our daily lives, there’s no harm in having these values gently reminded to us with International Pay It Forward Day on April 25. To help you get involved, Australian-based online marketplace Andable are making things easy by pairing up with micro-loan initiative Kiva. 10% of every sale made by Andable will be paid forward on your behalf to Kiva, helping support small businesses and up-starters all over the world. With products from Be Genki, Bamboo Village, Ties and Whimsy and a whole host more, Andable is a veritable conscious-shopper heaven. While you’re there, check out Andable’s clever ‘FRESH’ guide to purchases which gives every item in store a code – Fair trade, Reborn, Eco-friendly, Supports local business and Handmade – so that you know exactly what you’re buying.
