Life Options products


Life Options is proud to launch several new products for sale. In past years we have made and sold holiday ornaments and homemade dog biscuits. These Life Options gifts continued to be available this holiday season. However, greeting cards and hand beaded jewelry were added to our selection of holiday gifts available. Beads used for jewelry are from "green" sources including recycled glass and use of seeds, lava rock, and stone. Greeting cards are hand made by Life Options participants using their own photography and creativity.

Life Options has expanded to these products in order to be able to provide quality gifts to our customers not just through the holiday season, but year round. We can be found at the "NC Craft Gallery" in Carrboro and "Twig" in Chapel Hill. Coming soon, Life Options will have a website where orders can be sent online.
