Reinvent the Wheel

Bodanna Pottery

That time of year. Again. You’re spinning your wheels trying to come up with the perfect gifts for the peeps on your list.

Why not let Bodanna do the spinning for you?

The NYC-based nonprofit uses pottery to develop artistic talent and a work ethic in young adults from low-income communities. And you can help them do that by snapping up their lovely wares online.

Your mod cousin will love a pair of beaker vases in white and gunmetal with horizontal linear texture. Your colorful aunt will prefer classic vases in two-tone combos like spearmint and pale blue. Your studious sister will think of you (lovingly, of course) as she sips her morning cuppa joe from stunning swirl mugs in emerald and raspberry. And send the right message to the kids in your life with the Mr. Piggy Bank in blue, pink, and white.

Not only will your prezzies elicit oohs and aahs from the recipients, but 100 percent of the proceeds goes back to the organization to empower our youth.

Bringing the holiday spirit full circle.
