This simple game has been a hit with children I work with. As a casual relieving Kinder teacher it has become a resource I can throw in my bag, carry anywhere and use to occupy and calm over stressed little minds.

I have a thing about blue horses do when I saw these on line I had to get them. Added bonus that they are handmade by these beautiful women who are making a life for themselves in this not-so-easy world, especially for indigenous women. Brava!

I love this carved shell dish. It is so beautiful. I have ordered these three different times for special gifts for family and friends. They all loved them. They are sturdy and have that normal luminous quality that you can only get from this type of shell. Some of my dishes have natural pearls partially formed in them. I highly recommend them and I have a set that I kept just for me. The carving along the edges just adds to the shellʻs natural beauty. I am trying to collect all of the differen...

I LOVE all the items I have bought from Rise Beyond The Reef. I have supported the site for several years now and everything I have bought is original and of high quality. Friends and family have benefitted from these gifts and also love them. My latest purchases, three oversized clutch/laptop cases in different colours, have been for 2 daughters-in-law, and this time, me! I use mine to carry papers for meetings and it's the perfect size. I love the fabric outer and woven inner - my bag has been...

I ordered two baskets and they are both beautiful! They are actually bigger than I anticipated, but that is a good thing. I plan to use them for outdoor dinning when we entertain family and friends in our yard. I also ordered four Christmas stockings. I live in Hawaii and we often have guests visiting at Christmas time. These stockings will be used for our guests and will go perfectly with the rest of my Christmas decorations.

I was so pleased with my first order (two horses) that I ordered two turtles next. They're so cute!! I gave them both as baby gifts, and the recipients really loved them. The quality of these toys is excellent; the stitching is firm and the patterns of the fabric work beautifully with both the horses and the turtles. I highly recommend this shop; it's filled with outstanding workmanship, and I love supporting these creative women. My items arrived quickly and were packed with care. I will be...

Healing Plants of Fiji is a beautiful book. Very well researched and presented, with a wealth of information using the craft of healing with natural and abundant plants to be found locally in Fiji. I feel it should be used in schools to keep this important tradition of healing alive, and understood by children for their healthy future. Thank you Suliana Siwatibau.

I have always had a love of Fiji, eventhough I have never been there. When I stumbled across the Fijian products for sale, I immediately ordered. I love all my products especially my extremely cute, colorful and well made turtle. It is much larger than I thought. Beautiful products made my beautiful ladies. I hope to visit one day.

The large is the perfect size…Love these so much! I gifted one to a nephew for his bday & one to a friend who lost a loved one. I loved that it had a tag saying who made it & the info about the village it came from. I also love the idea that purchasing contributes to the village. Would gladly order more stuff from their shop…and already did. :)
