Feel Good Product: Wool Rug from Worldstock



The Feel Good Product of the Day is this Hand-tufted Indo Rust/ Beige Wool Rug from Overstock.com's Worldstock Fair Trade initiative.

Worldstock is the fair trade initiative from Overstock.com's founder Patrick Byrne. The idea came to him in 2001 when a motorcycle tour in Cambodia came to what can literally be described as a screeching halt. Having crashed his motorcycle, Patrick found himself "tolerably banged up" and laying on the roadside. A group of local children helped him back to their village where he hatched a plan to give back.

Patrick created Worldstock to connect skilled artisans to a global market for quality goods. His ambition was and still is nothing short of transforming the lives of millions of people across the globe. He was asked in a recent interview whether or not people would accept the idea that the owner of a large corporation actually wants to give back to which he responded, "It just felt like the right thing to do."

Caine's Arcade

Whether we are young or not so young, we all have dreams. This is the story of Caine and Nirvan and what one person can do to make another persons's dreams come true.



After the premiere of this short film, a scholarship fund was created to help Caine go to college. The $100,000 target has now been reached, giving Caine the opportunity to take his imagination to new heights. On their way home after the flashmob that day, Caine told his dad, "This was the best day of my whole life." Because one man was inspired by the imagination of a boy, we now know how easy it can be to help others realize their dreams.
