+1 Choose Hungarian
It's easy to get lost in all the sales and promotions during Holiday season, however, if you wish to be a conscious shopper, then you should take a step back and consider the fact that you are putting your time, energy and money into the search for the perfect presents, and you can support small Hungarian businesses and designers instead of unethical multinational companies. Visit Wamp, the Hungarian design market where you can meet many small scale designers and businesses, Szputnyik shop included. You can also support Hungarian nature by purchasing a pin from the Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Society.
The pins are available for 500 Ft (app. 2,00 €) donations at Szputnyik D20 and K22.
