  • Worldly Goods is a cute, quaint shop on Main Street in Ames. The shop sells crafts made in about 30 different countries. The shop follows along with the Fair Trade ideals. Everything bought here in Ames, the artist/producer will receive closer to about 10 to 30% of the profits, versus less than about 5%. So, it's a pretty worthy little shop and I highly recommend visiting Worldly Goods and just looking at what is coming out of other cultures....

    At Worldly Goods, there are several different genres of artwork, etc. There are different musical instruments from all over the world, which are fun to play with. There are kids toys and games. There are a variety of cookbooks. There are a bunch of little trinkety items. Also, there is a pretty good selection for clothing. Most of the clothing is made by women in India.

    So, buying anything will help people around the world!

    Depending on what you expect to buy, you can spend a wide range. The little trinkety items could cost less than a dollar or so, but the clothing items could cost closer to about $60 or 70 dollars per piece. So, it all depends on what you want to get. There are many choices between the two extremes.
