The Gift Exchange Club is a bartering network which is available to those with an interest or need in obtaining products or services with payment other than money. It is offered through the Essentials of Life Holistic Enrichment Center, and it is open to anyone anywhere who would like to take part. It is centered in Hartville, Ohio, but many services and products do not need to be exchanged locally, such as some of the services that we provide here.

Here's how it works--

Everyone has talents and gifts. If you have a service or product that you'd like to offer for trade, then simply submit your service and rates (or product and cost) by clicking here, for inclusion in a pool of participants who are also looking to make exchanges.

Then...When someone wants to make use of your service (or purchase one of your products), then they will pay with Bartering Buck$ which they have earned by providing a product or service of equivalent value to someone else in the network...(or of course you could always do an even exchange.) The Bartering Buck$ that you earn through the transaction will then go into your account which is maintained by Essentials of Life, to be used in exchanging with anyone else in the pool who has a product or service you'd like! The only charge for this service is a 5 point service fee per transaction which will be deducted from your account by Essentials of Life. There is no cash involved!

Anyone can join the Gift Exchange Club. It isn't only for natural health products and services, although it is a great way to get the natural health services you need, or anything else on the list. You could trade lawn mowing, yard work, typing, massage, office filing, hair cutting, dog grooming, house cleaning, reflexology, song writing, cooking, organizing, pet sitting, doing laundry, painting a picture, painting a house, repairing a car or a washing machine...everyone has something to give!

All of our services are included in the Gift Exchange Program and occassionally a few of our products. Don't let the lack of financial resources be the reason you don't get what it is that you need! Write to Essentials of Life today and request more information if this is something of interest to you!
