Buy a bomb, plant it in your garden and promote peace

The tastemakers at AHAlife, especially its founder Shauna Mei, like to think they are “driving conscious consumption.” The luxury leifestyle blog JustLuxe describes AHAlife “as a hybrid of Gilt Group and Ideal Bite” with a “unique social-media elements and marketing prescience” because all of the products are curated by influencers in the fashion, food, home and other categories, who make their selections because they believe in products, not because they’re being paid an assignment fee.

And, now they want you to buy a bomb for peace — well, really spoon-shaped garden markers ($66) made from bombs dropped on Laos during the Vietnam conflict. The sale of these products benefits the artisan families in the community and helps to clear unexploded weapons from the ground for future use by farmers.

Not into gardening, you can purchase a bomb shell wrap bracelet for $50 — or seek others making good[s] from war.
