Only Good Gifts
You may not think of your neighborhood natural grocer as a source for great gifts, but we are!
Aside from great food, we have kitchen tools and housewares, reusables, candles, mittens, undies even, beauty products, and much more. You really could find something for almost anyone on your list.
This is the time of year when many of us put a little extra thought into what we give each other.
We want to give gifts that are wanted, needed, that convey our values, and that show we care.
It can be hard to find the time and resources to capture all of that. It’s helpful to shop places where you know their standards, but it can still be a lot.
To help you out, we’ve combed through our store looking for brands and products that have a little something more behind them that’s worth celebrating.
The categories we opted to shout out range from who owns and runs them, where they are located, and their impact on the environment. While not wholly complete our focus includes but isn’t limited to (in alphabetical order);
B Corp
BIPOC-owned
Black-owned
Carbon Neutral
Climate Positive
Fair Trade
Handmade
Immigrant-owned
LGTBQ+ Owned
Locally Owned & Made
Low Waste
Woman-owned
Zero Waste
So when you shop, look for our Gift tags throughout our entire store to help you get great gift ideas that elevate the underrepresented, are usable, that give back, that are less damaging to the planet, and support our community.
Those are things that show you care.
PS. Still can’t decide? We have gift cards available in any amount. Stop by or give us a call at 510-925-4749 to get one.
