KIVA STORE IDEA
would you pay $40 to $50 for a KIVA $25.00 gift certificate and a 'nice!' KIVA Christmas tree ornament?
OR!
the same for a Certificate and a KIVAFriends.org ornament?
either one mailed from KIVA to the gift-e.
(idle thoughts...)

I might do that, if I liked the ornament. Maybe the ornaments could be representative of some of the businesses that you can lend to through Kiva. Like a little bike (bicycle repair people), or a cow or other farm animals for farmers, a table with place settings, for a restaurant... I'd probably buy one if it were just a plain (nice) globe type ornament, with "Kiva" written on it too.

No, I would not, because I have already too much junk and I am not much into Christmas ornaments. Maybe that's because I am German.  |

I'd buy one, just because it was my post. I'd like a KIVA Pickle ornament (some meaning to hanging a pickle on your tree)? or a KIVA Goat, since that was my favorite slogan, help buy a goat!

Are you referring to the rumors that Germans put pickles (or pickle ornaments) on their X-mas tree? Take it from me, it is not true.

Yup - I have a pickle....and a carrot....and garlic....and a couple varieties of maize....and a hot pepper......along with myriads of critters. Used to add one ornament a year, and one of my daughters got into the veggies. What the blurb with the pickle said was that the child who found the pickle on the tree got a special prize on Christmas morning. (Probably invented by the guys who made the ornament so that more would sell) |

I like your idea Henry...I like the idea of world map on the ornament....with maybe some of the countries highlighted...hmmm....and I would probably buy one or two as gifts as I no longer put up a tree.
