Generous Intentions is my first stop whenever I need a meaningful and unique gift! Lorena, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sourcing ethically-made products from around the world. Everything in the shop is fair trade, beautifully crafted, and tells a story.
The variety is amazing—whether I’m looking for handmade jewelry, sustainable home decor, or something totally unexpected, I always find the perfect gift. Lorena’s warmth and dedication to ethical shopping make every visit a pleasure.
I feel good that when I shop at Generous Intentions. I know I am giving back to people who need it, who actually make these beautiful items, and the owner gives the proceeds to local animal shelters. Highly recommend!
These items were for a raffle gift basket. All three of these items are so sophisticated, well made, and unique. The items made it the basket everyone wanted!
Love the design! Super cute and big!
The doggie eye glass holder is really well made. It holds my eye glass really well. Plus you can use them as a decor as well. Thank you I love it.
Yay! They are such a cute addition and a great for functional decor. Thank you for your continued support Carina. You are truly making a difference!
The luminary hummingbird is beautiful. Love the hummingbird and Hibiscus Moscheutos Flower they complement each other. The craftsmanship and details are beautiful. Thank you for the fast shipping.
The ruby hummingbird is one of our best sellers! Our artisans in Nicaragua meticulously craft each luminary with a sharpened bycicle spoke! I am so happy you love it!
My wife loves hummingbirds, and associates them with her late mother, who always kept a hummingbird feeder in her backyard. This beautiful luminary made a meaningful birthday gift, and the ordering and delivery process was easy
It is so wonderful when there is meaning to the things in our home! Thank you for your support!
I found this sculpture when shopping for my wife’s birthday, and she loved it. To me, it captures the feeling of a couple who have built a lifelong bond together.

These totes are so amazing. Sturdy and will literally last a lifetime. I bought 2 as gifts because I know the recipients will love them, use them, and enjoy them for years. They'll be great for trips to the farmers market, or the beach. Hoping they'll think of me each time they use it!

It is absolutely beautiful - Beautiful piece of decor filled with meaning and culture. Love it! Just what I was looking for to put on a special space.
I’m so happy you love your soapstone heart and that it means so much to you to place it near such a special place.
I love this bag. It is not only pretty, but lightweight. I didn’t think that was something I would care about, but walking around with a heavy bag can take its toll. I also like how it’s waterproof. Highly recommend for the conscious individual on the go who likes cute accessories.
You are so right! We don’t think about the weight, but it definitely takes a toll. I am so happy you love your tote and take pride in knowing that it is making a difference in so many ways!
I love buying all of the different items. They make one of a kind gift giving easy, affordable, and my purchases have a purpose. I've loved every piece I've gotten.

Love it!
Rich, so glad you love your lantern from Nicaragua. You are making a difference in the lives of the families who made it and local shelters through your purchase.
We love that these candles are not only great smelling and burn clean but are going to lift up a woman and support our furry friends! We love this give back purchase!
Thank you for sharing Amy! The young moms in Chicago who make them take great pride in their work. And we are so happy you appreciate their effort and your big heart to give back.
