My Overthinking

Philly Area mom, Life forever changed by adoption

{Purposeful Giveaway} Gneiss Spice for Microfinance Loans

Our popcorn will never been the same.

As, Lydia would say, “Deeeeee-licious in my belly” 
(her version of “yummy in my tummy”)
And, it’s all because of these nifty little things
How come anything little becomes cute? 
These are cute. 
Sweet, spicy, and savory spices to put on our popcorn to spruce it up a bit and make a real treat out of something simple. 
Simple turns Extraordinary. I like that.
Beth has a great shop where she sells these awesome magnetic spice sets that I am so envious of. 

If you all don’t “pin” this organizer set, you all are crazy. So cool.
And, Beth has a heart for people and getting others engaged in helping others. She teaches at an inner city school in Brooklyn, NY and works hard to rally the kids for giving. She runs a knitting/sewing club in the high school and organizes a community service project each quarter for the kids involved. They knit bears for orphans in Haiti, sewed sanitary pads for young women in East Africa, and made gifts for women living in a domestic violence shelter. 
Beth, can you move to my neighborhood? 
In addition to all that, she uses her Etsy site Gneiss Spice to help a great organization–Kiva. 
Beth sells this great salt set with gourmet salts from around the world–Bali, France, Hawaii, India, Nepal, Peru, and Salish. And, honestly, the set simply looks beautiful–look at the colors.

When you purchase this Salts of the World Gift Set, Beth uses $25 of the $48 purchase price to finance a microloan to a low income entrepreneur, a real person somewhere across the world who would not otherwise qualify for a traditional loan at a bank. You can even tell her what part of the world you’d like the person you support to be from. Or, you can go to Kiva’s website and choose the individual yourself from their listing.

Beth loans the $25 and donates 15% ($3.75) to help Kiva cover operating expenses. Beth then will post to her blog about the individual you both have supported. You get your awesome salt set and can follow the progress of your entrepreneur together.

Now, THAT is a good Christmas gift people.

Perfect gift for the person who has pretty much everything already. And, a perfect way to give PURPOSEFULLY.

To get you over to her site and supporting this cause, Beth has offered one salt set here as a giveaway.

You all are so lucky.

  2. Well I really like the wall hanging thingy. But I think my favorite would probably be the “create your own” since I’d get to pick and choose the spices I use the most awesome. How creative!

  13. The CARNIVORE Mini Spice Kit (3 EMBOSSED magnetic jars for ORGANIC meat eaters) sounds amazing!!

  14. I’d love the Super Spice Kit! I loaned to Kiva and was paid back in about a year and reinvested twice!! This is a great spice shop.

  15. I followed you because I find your blog interesting.I love the Create Your Own spice kits because I have a lot of different ones I’ve been wanting to try but I’ve really been wanting new salts and baking spices.

  21. I honestly wish every single project on Kiva’s website could be totally funded. It was a tough decision, but my top choice is Jose Manuel. Jose needs just $200 to purchase a new pump for his well. According to the site a new pump will “help him to get water from the well more easily and with less effort. He wants this loan to help him meet his need, as the installation of the pump will help improve his life and relax a little more with his household tasks.”
