Beautiful, but colors not true to picture, December 29, 2009
By Star05

"Great, beautiful bowl, excellent craftsmanship. However, the colors are not true to the picture....it appears to be a beautiful orange and light ivory and in reality they were a two shades of brown. The darker was muddy, with no hint of orange, and the lighter shade was just a light brown color. Disappointing colors when compared to the picture.....at first I thought they had sent me the wrong bowl."

Thousand Hills bowl...simply beautiful!!!, December 15, 2009
By FrequentShopper1960 from Tuckahoe, NJ

"I have purchased several of the Rwandan items and have not been disappointed. As mentioned, the sweetgrass retains a pleasant fragrance and the workmanship is second to none. This year I have decided to give some as Christmas gifts and I know they will be a big hit. I like the fact that in a small way I am helping someone less fortunate. If you buy any of these products, I promise you won't be disappointed."

Beautiful and heartwarming..., November 23, 2009
By unhappycustomer24 from Sparta, IL

"the stories behind these make them great to collect, but I fould this to be my favorite. The size is perfect for displaying and it comes with a loop on the back for hanging. It looks great with my other collectibles from around the world. I find it very comforting and the colors are tremendous! I also prefer the larger 16" size over the 12"."

"Thousand Hills" Bowl - Beautiful, August 17, 2009
By Fontaine from Monterey Park, CA

"This bowl is absolutely stunning. I love the pattern, esp. as it spirals out from the center, and the colors are neutral so you can place it anywhere. The bowl is quite large and the craftsmanship is excellent. I would definitely consider giving this bowl as a gift to very special people."

Thousand Hills bowl, March 11, 2009
By blontee from Burlington, NJ

"Oprah talked about these bowls on her show and you could buy them from her website, but I didn't want to use my major credit card to get one. When I received the advertisement from Macy's, I had to order. I'd been looking for over a year for the "right thing" to put in my redecorated bedroom to give it that finished look. I liked the Thousand Suns bowl, but it was too bright. I was unsure about The Thousand Hills bowl when I ordered it as the "house Xmas present", so I held my breathe when it arrived. It is absolutely perfect! I was so excited. Not only is it a beautiful work of art, it is also functional. I put little things in it as not to clutter up my dresser. It's large enough that you can not see the items from a distance. Thank you Macy's for making it so easy for us to help others in need. I'm looking forward to buying one of these bowls for my daughter when she moves in her new apartment."

January 20, 2009
By MomtoKili from Maui, HI

"I gave this and other Rwandan baskets and bowls as Christmas gifts, but managed to keep one for myself! The bowl is absolutely lovely, larger than I expected and it was an experience just to open the packaging and smell the scent of sweet grasses from far away places. It gave me great pleasure to not only have chosen great presents, but also to support sustainability to women from a war-ravaged country and it is a tribute to these women that their artistry has endured."

Fair Winds Trading Rwanda "Thousand Hills" Bowl, December 9, 2008
By Thereitis from Carlsbad, CA

"The pattern is lovely and the bowl well made, however the description says that the vivid colors, etc. The bowl I received was a dull brown, not close in color to the picture on the site. Since it was meant as a gift, I didn't have time to return it and request another if that would even have been possible."

Thousand Hills Bowl from Rwanda, November 24, 2008
By EReynolds from Independence KS

"The bowl was everything I thought it would be and more. I have taken my bowl to work and will hang it on the wall with a plate hanger as art work. Many of my friends at work have asked me where I got the bowl and if they are carried at the local Macy's stores."

Occasion, August 7, 2008
By Occasion from Texas

"I purchased this beautiful bowl. I display it in a place of honor and pride on my livingroom coffee table. Displaying it in a picture frame eisel really gives the bowl more stature and presence. The design and colors are so mesmerizing, vibrant, and unique. This piece catches every eye that visits my home and is always complimented. I would highly recommend this one to anyone wanting something to distinguish their home from any other. I plan to purchase more soon."

Absolutely Beautiful, August 4, 2008
By JoyDC from Washington, DC

"This is one of the most well made baskets I have ever seen. I am more than satisfied with the quality, and I would easily compare these baskets to baskets made by women in the SC Sea Islands. You can not beat the price that you are paying here. I look forward to purchasing more around the holidays."

beautiful basket - beautiful cause, July 23, 2008
By bunnyhums from Sheboygan, WI

"I love this beautifully made basket. It is sturdy and useful for many things, from holding fruit to daily mail to favorite craft supplies. It is a work of art which can be proudly displayed in any room. I especially love that I could make a purchase which in turn helped other women to be self sufficient. I plan to purchase one for each of my five adult daughters, I know they will be pleased with its beauty and functionality as well as my choosing to make purchases for a wonderful cause."

Lovely basket and for a great cause, July 17, 2008
By Anonymous from Miami, Fl

"I received this as a gift, and I loved that it was part of a good cause, as well as beautiful and functional. I intended to display collectible items in it, but it is too pretty on its own. It is now displayed (proudly) by itself in my home. I will give these baskets as gifts this holiday season.
Thank you Macys, for helping the women of Rwanda.

Beautiful colors, craftsmanship, June 28, 2008
By Cutbank from North Dakota

"I have fallen in love with the Rwanda baskets as a whole, and this one is no exception. This is a beautiful bowl, deep and well formed. You have to see these baskets to appreciate them. Order one to look at and I'll bet you do not send it back! If you live near a Macy's that carries them, then go see for yourself. They hold their own in any room - I have them in my casual and comfy family room as well as my dining room with modern decor as art objects, and working hard holding "stuff" in my sewing room. I can't say enough good things about them, and the fact that they are made by skilled artists sustaining themselves by their sales is just frosting on the cake."

"You will LOVE these baskets. I just received my first one and I couldn't wait to order another. It even has a hanger for the wall. It is so beautifully made and the colors are so rich! I really love knowing that I am helping the women in Rwanda. What a unique opportunity to hang something so marvelous in my home knowing they made it. You must buy one --- or two!"
