Rabbit Rabbit Fair Trade

Rabbit Rabbit is the renamed Baksheesh, a local chain that once boasted stores in Healdsburg&Sonoma. They once had a year-​round Nativity display, with Nativity scenes from around the world. Not anymore. They’ve reduced their stock, but they do have an area they will open up soon. They have a good selection of items for children.
Sadly, their
selection has been greatly reduced&located pathetically on the floor. Still a nice place. Hopefully, there will be improvements.

The word «Fair Trade» drew me inside this store and I was not disappointed. We loved the colorful linens, pillows, scarves, owl bookends, puzzle boxes, trivets made out of felt, purses and wallets, jewelry, cosmetic bags, and whimsical birdhouses. If you want to view what they have in the store, just go to their website.
Street parking is 3 hours. If you can’t find some on Main Street, drive two blocks away from Main Street and you should be able to find some parking at the side streets.
Yes, we’ll be back. This was a lovely store to visit.

If you’re in the area, it’s a fun little nook, to look around. Not too friendly to men, when you come in the door, the owner, just sort of gave me a rather surly look, I guess, she decided a «no sale » was written on my forehead? I had followed her ladyship into the store. At an attempt at politeness, I felt I should say some sort of salutation, to who was ever working behind the counter? I started to walk out the door, and wait for her my lady, when out of the corner of my I spied, the HAT! Tried, it on, a perfect fit, «she who MUST BE obeyed» said I must it. So, I did, and my dearest, bought, a few other items, and the lady behind the counter, had to ring up a 188 dollars. We’re life long friends now. .. . anyway, it’s a cute little store, enjoy :)

Not sure if it was seasonal but I bought some amazing wrapping paper here just before Christmas.
It really uped my present giving this year. Blew everyone else out of the water. Classy!
Other than that everything in the store is great and unique. Some gorgeous handmade statement necklaces as well.

This store is fantastic. Their products are made by international artisans in positive working environments and are surprisingly affordable. I bought a pair of earrings for $ 13. The cashier was friendly and knowledgable. It’s a nice alternative to the expensive boutiques in the area that have high mark ups.

My mom and aunt have been going into this store in another location and I finally decided to come into this one. There were so many things that I wanted, I had a hard time choosing just a couple items! They have an excellent selection of everything from bike chain bracelets to prayer flags. Their jewelry items are beautiful too, I could have easily gone home with several pairs of earrings.
I love that everything is fair trade AND that the prices are so affordable. It really does feel good shopping here. I left today with a new Vietnamese ornament for my Christmas tree and an adorable knit hooded sweater from Ecuador for my daughter. While I was shopping the lady behind the counter offered to hold onto something since I was still looking for things that I probably (definitely) needed. That was a nice offer since they dont have baskets or anything to hold your purchases in before you check out. Another thing I liked was that the lady wrapped my ornament up so well to protect it. Other places skimp on the wrapping paper that protects breakables, but not here.
The store was much bigger than I expected it to be from the outside too. Much bigger and much cooler. I ended up spending $ 58 here today (both items could have easily been marked up much higher in other shops too).
I live about 40 minutes away from this shop, but our love of wine brings us to the area often. I will absolutely be back to this shop each time I’m in the area too. This is a new favorite!

Fair Trade! «Baksheesh was originally an Old Persian word meaning gift. Today it can be heard across the Middle East and scattered through Africa and Asia. Its meaning has grown to include alms, tip, blessing, bribe, or a great place to shop in Wine Country!»

They have so many great products that are all handcrafted in over 40 different countries around the world. Scarves, purses, jewelry, children’s clothes, home wares, kitchenware, and much much more. Great for gifts and Christmas shopping! There is something for everyone :) And a lot of things you won’t see anywhere else!

My mom is a big fan of this store and when she finally took me, I can understand why: cute jewelry, adorable knick-​knacks for adults and kids, and so much color everywhere! I love that it’s all fair trade too, so I don’t mind if there’s a slight price increase (which could just be because it’s in St. Helena haha). I personally left with a couple of cute handmade birthday cards and was really happy with my purchases.

I Love stopping by this store when I am up in St. Helena. The overall ambiance of the store is cool with items made from around the world. Staff was super friendly when I was shopping and one of them even showed me how a water bird flute worked. Pretty cool!
I would recommend picking up small gifts and/​or checking out their cool jewelry. Very reasonable prices and cool bracelets and earrings. I bought a bracelet bangle for $ 19 and earrings for $ 11. All hand made and unique looking.
Parking is available on the street for free. And if you don’t take your items in a bag — they give you a free piece of chocolate! Love!

There is such an incredible variety at this place, every time I go I swear I can spend hours browsing through their goods. You can pretty much find something for anyone for any occasion and supporting Fair Trade commerce.

What a treat to find such a gem of a store in St Helena, there is something for everyone. The store offers unique items that make for great gift giving. The staff are very pleasant. I would recommend this store to anyone who needs something that is not run of the mill.

Something for everyone at this gem of a place. What’s better? It’s fair trade AND still offers amazing prices. Kicks Global Exchange’s butt for price and selection.
I could spend hours sifting through cards, jewelry, household items, children’s things… the selection and merchandising are wonderful. I could probably check off everyone on my gift list in one visit too.
I loved this place and was thrilled to see from another review here that there are other wine country locations as well. If I don’t see ya’ll in St. Helena I may see you in Healdsburg. Keep up the good work!

I love stopping in here pretty much every time I’m downtown. Great jewelry and accessories for VERY reasonable prices. They have books, they have toys, they have home décor. Mostly everything is handmade and fair trade and they’ve got some really unique stuff made from recycled goods. Awesome for gifts for others or yourself!

Very nice shop with a helpful staff.
Keep up the good work, love Fair Trade!

this is a great place to find items from different countries. They have a variety of accessories & art (jewelry, cards, crafts, etc) from india, nepal, phillipines, africa, etc… whenever your in st. helena, this is a wonderful place to stop by.

Fantastic place! I don’t what’s better, getting a piece of chocolate if you pass on taking a bag or the unique merchandise. I especially love their earrings! They have a wide selection and every time I go I buy a new pair for my collection!

Back in December ’08, I came across this great find– a store that sells Global Artisans arts, crafts, gifts and jewlery. I ws pleased with the quality of products and their low prices. But what really impressed me was how they doing a World of good by being a part of the Fair Trade Federation. We live 2 hours away, but I would love to make a day trip just to shop at this great store or one of it’s sister locations, Healdsburg or Sonoma.
