About Us:

Helping others is our passion. Experiencing diverse cultures is enriching. Hearing Artisan stories is heartwarming. From these experiences we bring you authentic treasures rarely available in the US. We support distant villages by offering you fine handcrafted items rich in tradition and cultural diversity.

We are one world with many beautiful things to share and we bring to you these extraordinary connections with those from less fortunate places.

Exotic World Gifts invites you on a journey to far away exotic places where you can experience a remarkable collection of handcrafts that take your breath away; fascinating and diverse people; ancient and exotic cultures. This is where the real treasures are found.

Liz

With over 25 years of global product development and marketing successes; volunteering in hospitals; and doing pet therapy with abused children and the elderly, I am inspired to use my compassion and skills to really make a difference. During world travels, I have been touched by the beauty of different cultures and gifts they offer. With this experience, I'm putting passion into action and helping people in need through Exotic World Gifts.

Mark

Born and raised in New Orleans to experience spicy flavors, exciting aromas, and charming people. My love for people and broad skill set from Engineering to Counseling have enabled me to travel the world and help others along the path. So many wonderful people with great skills creating beautiful gifts to be shared. My dream is to present these exotic gifts to you and then share the proceeds with their community. One world, one heart, loving what I do.

Passionate about a sustainable planet and helping people, I am inspired to spread the word about our mission to improve artisans lives around the world. Connecting others to our products and artisans brings such joy and fulfillment because it proves that each person can truly make a difference. What a gift it is to be using my experience in sales and marketing for such a heart-centered cause. For retail inquiries please email me:
