Ocean Gifts is a family owned business located in the fabulous Florida Keys. Founded in 1989 by Bill Sinnamon, a Native to South Florida and The Florida Keys, Ocean Gifts was borne from a love of the Caribbean and many years of world travel. To Bill, it was only natural to share the simple life he discovered growing up in the Caribbean.

A few facts on what we offer:
Most of our home decorating items are made with RECYCLED materials: the metal comes from used drums that brought chemicals, oil and food in Haiti, the paper and cardboard in our Papier-mache comes from scraps taken from old cement bags and rejects of cardboard and boxes from factories.
The companies that we deal with are members of Fair Trade Organizations and do not use child labor. Often the artisans work from their home or in small workshops in the countryside. Not Chinese factories.
It is our mission to promote Haitian art and try to make a difference in every way we can. With your support over the years we have made a huge difference by selling millions of dollars of Haitian handy crafts. That money helps create jobs, food, medical assistance and education for the Haitian People. Please see Our Mission for more information...
