Ever thought shopping could be more about giving than acquiring? Crescent Moon, an exhibition-cum-sale that is organised for the cause of promoting women entrepreneurs and supporting NGOs, takes place this week, and we suggest you block the date.

"This serves as a platform for enterprising housewives who wanted to do something constructive and so started out from home and are now growing bigger," says Seema Jain, who organises the exhibition with her daughter, Natasha. "Chances are, you won't find these products anywhere else." A fraction of the proceeds from the sales go to the NGOs.

On March 18, 10 am to 7 pm
At Hotel Taj President, Cuffe Parade.
