Do you want a different gift idea for Christmas?

I have a few favorite websites that I love visiting often. One of those is Funky Friends Factory. It is an Aussie based business, based in Queensland. Pauline (the owner) designs the most amazing soft toy patterns that are easy to make, most of them can be made in one full day of sewing. Now they have something for those who wouldn't know the front end of the sewing machine from the back. Pauline has recently become involved in a fair trade toy project working with a not-for-profit group in India, Blue Mango.  Pauline has designed the pattern for a special elephant, 'Anu', who is then made by the women of Blue Mango. These elephants are available for purchase from the Funky Friends Factory website, for $39.99 (non-members) and $35.99 (members). Check out the following link http://www.funkyfriendsfactory.com/AllAboutOurProducts/Fair_Trade_Toys.aspxy on the Funky Friends Factory website for more information on this wonderful gift idea, that gives so much back to the people involved.
