Last year, I wrote about Walmart launching a site that gives shoppers who want to buy unique and interesting products the opportunity to do so while supporting small women-owned businesses around the world. 

Empowering Women Together offers shoppers more than 200 items from 19 businesses in nine countries. Available products include jewelry, accessories, home décor, specialty foods and apparel from various countries including Ethiopia, Cambodia, Rwanda, Kenya, Peru, Canada, Haiti, Nepal and the United States. With each purchase, consumers empower the women behind these products by creating new jobs and improving both their lives and the lives of their families and communities.

Well this year, just in time for Mother’s Day, Walmart is taking things another step further, and making these products even easier to get! For the Mother’s Day season, Walmart will be selling the products in 2,700 stores for the very first time!

Walmart sent me a selection of items from the Empowering Women Together collection, and they are some of the prettiest items!

I love the ceramic mugs, and the travel mugs, and straw cups!

I also loved the Infinity Scarves, and the Aprons!

Even the gift box with Hot Chocolate and  a Necklace was pretty, and all of these are perfect for gifting for Mother’s Day in the beautiful gift bags that are also available!

Something that I thought was really neat though, just a little touch that makes each item very special, is the little charm that is included, along with a tag that is signed by the person who handcrafted it, and the country that they are from. That, right there, just makes it even a bit more personal.

I think this is one pretty awesome initiative… If you’d like to learn more about how you can find these items, or about the Empowering Women Together initiative, Business Wire has an article all about it!

FInd these products and so many more at your local Walmart store, or online at Walmart.com’s Empowering Women Together online shop!
