‘Live Well, Do Good’ Gift Baskets

September 13th, 2011 by admin

Here is concrete way to live well and do good at the same time! 

The Marquis Project and the website Live Well Do Good are partnering to present The Marquis Project “Live Well, Do Good” gift baskets.

Live Well, Do Good Gift Basket

Enjoy fair trade coffee and other items (like tea and chocolate – depending on size of basket). At the same time support producers in developing countries and also help a great non-profit organization here. The aim of Marquis is to promote international development both by educating Manitobans and participating in projects in developing countries.

These baskets are priced from $25 to $75, and would make excellent Christmas or birthday gifts. They would also be great to mark other special occasions like a graduation, anniversary, new job, or house warming.

Live Well, Do Good Gift Basket
