The Perfect Gift for the Crafty Person

Looking for a meaningful gift for the arts-and-crafts lover in your life? Meet the JOYN Blok Print Kits, our craftiest product yet! Whether for a girls’ night, creative weekend project, or kids’ party, these DIY kits make it easy to hand-block print your own keepsake, from tote bags to stationery, using hand-carved wooden blocks made by artisans in India.

                                           

Each Blok Kit comes with everything you need to create your masterpiece, and the best part? The hand-carved wooden printing blocks are completely reusable. Once you’ve designed your tote bag or stationery, you can keep creating! Use the blocks again on fabric, gift wrap, or new paper projects for endless possibilities.

Every block, print, and stitch tells a story, because these kits are fair trade and handmade by JOYN’s talented artisans in Rajpur, India, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas. By crafting each kit by hand, JOYN provides living-wage jobs to artisans who have faced barriers to employment, empowering them to build brighter futures.

                                     

But JOYN is more than beautiful craftsmanship, it’s a movement. Their mission is to create opportunity in underserved communities while sharing handmade products with the world through fairness, equality, and justice. Their commitments include:

• Paying 15% above local minimum wage

• Ensuring a safe and supportive work environment

• Providing training and profit-sharing

• Offering free healthy meals and child care

These values make JOYN one of our favorite fair-trade partners. They prove that ethical business isn’t just possible, it’s powerful.

                                   

When you give a JOYN Blok Kit, you’re giving more than a gift. You’re supporting an artisan, their family, and a community that believes in sustainable livelihoods and creativity with purpose. This is what shopping fair trade means, your purchase directly empowers artisans and helps keep traditional craftsmanship alive.
