This year, the UN Bookshop's annual "Blue Friday" promotion supports the Organization’s call for peace.
With every purchase of $50.00 or more, we're gifting a peace stress ball. It's not just a gift; it's a symbol of our shared commitment to peace.
Peace begins with every one of us, and we hope that the below ideas inspire you to create opportunities to reflect on peace, talk about it, and share it with your community, colleagues, family and friends.
Teach the children in your life about peace: What better way to learn about peace and the UN’s role in peacekeeping than with role playing. The Peacekeeper toy helmet turns children of all ages into peacekeepers and enables them to act out the significant work of maintaining peace worldwide—a gift that entertains and educates.
Dive deep into the concept of peace: Further the cause of peace education by gifting books from our curated selection, providing insights into the UN's pivotal role in global peacekeeping and peacemaking. The UN Bookshop also offers children’s books as part of the global SDG Book Club. A great way to start a conversation about peace and human rights for ages 6-12.
Connect with a colleague and friend: During trying times it’s more important than ever to check in on each other. Invite a colleague or friend for a coffee. The UN Bookshop’s War into Peace coffee mug can serve as a conversation starter and communicates the UN’s mission for peace for everyone to see.
Show your support for peace at the office or at home: The UN Bookshop’s Dove of Peace ornaments do more than beautify your space; they are a daily reminder that we work towards and serve as a beacon of hope, at home or at your desk.
Reach out to a loved one: With the Dove of Peace card you can share your thoughts and wishes for the New Year with family and friends. Sending it from UN Headquarters with a UN stamp gives it an even more individual touch.
This Blue Friday let your gifts echo the message of peace, a cornerstone of the United Nations. With every item you select, you are supporting the ongoing work of the UN.
The promotion will run until 30 November, both online and in-store.
