The Gift Sloth
Looking for a special souvenir or a gift to inspire friends and family to visit? The Sloth Souvenirs gift shop offers a wide variety of locally handmade products, crafted with care and love. Every dollar spent directly supports the artist who created the item.
The Gift Sloth is more than just a gift shop. It’s part of a larger initiative at Casitas Tenorio that helps provide professional development for local artists. We offer guidance in areas like design, marketing, and business skills to help these creators succeed. Operating under fair trade principles, our shop ensures that artisans receive fair compensation and valuable opportunities for growth.
More than a gift shop
We’re incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such talented craftspeople and artists, including indigenous Maleku artisans from the Tonjibe and Margarita reserves. Many of these beautiful works come from friends of Pip’s, whom she met while volunteering there in 2001. We hope you find something meaningful to take home, so you can carry a piece of Costa Rica with you wherever you go!
The Gift Sloth is a little more than a gift shop, truth be told. Like so many things at Casitas Tenorio it’s part of a bigger project which provides professional development to artists in things like design practice and marketing skills. The shop operates on the principles of fairtrade whereby local producers are paid a fair price for their products and receive capacity building.
