This store is perfect for all your gifting needs. I love that they carry fair-trade items from all across the globe, and have everything you could want from jewelry to chocolates to decorative pieces to notebooks and more! My favorite are the fluffy alpaca figures that are made from real alpaca wool in Peru. ?

Super cute and cool store. The owner is super informative, fun and you can tell she loves what she does. Can't wait to come back!
Ten Thousand Villages Lincoln was started by a small group of people right here in Lincoln 35 years ago. These people saw a unique opportunity to affect change in alleviating poverty on a global scale, specifically with marginalized people in developing nations. They started very small, by purchasing fair trade handicrafts and selling them in their church basement. As they were able to purchase more and more, they realized they could think even bigger and start a store to support these artisan makers all over the globe! They eventually opened a store front and kept on growing into the non-profit, fair trade store we are today. We are our own non-profit organization, with our own board of directors and a large pool of committed volunteers!
