The Fig Tree Gift Shop

Beautiful & unique hand-crafted gifts, made by skilled artisans from different corners of the world.

Your purchase goes beyond just the product. It not only helps support the small businesses we source our products from, we also donate 50% of our profits to The Fig Tree Children who are providing orphaned and vulnerable children in Sierra Leone with opportunities to thrive.

About Us

Hi, I’m Jane. I live in Brisbane, Australia with my husband, Jeremy, our son, Harry and our dog, Leila. Thank you for visiting my Gift Shop, I know you’re going to love all the gifts I’ve selected for you. Not only are they all gorgeous, but each one is sustainably and ethically made and is supporting the talented artisans, small businesses and social enterprises I source the products from. Also, please have a look at The Fig Tree Children website and see who your purchase will also be helping. A combination of loving the products and wanting to raise funds to help The Fig Tree Children after they leave school is my inspiration for this social enterprise. Our Story.

Have fun shopping!

Who your purchase is supporting

We donate 50% of our profits to The Fig Tree Children.

The Fig Tree Children are currently supporting 85 orphaned and vulnerable children and youths in Sierra Leone. Through a sponsorship scheme, they are paying school or tertiary education fees and provide school materials every year. They also support the children’s carers by paying them an allowance every month to help care for the child. They now have the challenge of helping the children after leaving school realise their dreams and become self-sufficient in a country where 60% of youths are unemployed.

The Fig Tree Gift Shop is another way we are raising funds for their cause.

So far we have donated $9,465.

Here you can see some of the young people we’re supporting:
