Brands We Love: PUBLIC GOODS

Brands We Love: PUBLIC GOODS

PUBLIC GOODS 

From handsoap to chapstick, deodorant to dog shampoo, we stock some of our favorite PUBLIC GOODS' items in store. 

Why we love them: 

  1. PUBLIC GOODS is committed to sustainability in all of their products.They steer away from classic wood and plastic and use bamboo primarily for their packaging needs. Their efforts slow down deforestation as bamboo can be harvested without killing it and bamboo grows back quickly.Additionally, most of their products are vegan as well as compostable/recyclable.
  2. Using primarily essential oils and other natural cleaning ingredients, their bath products are free from Parabens, Phlathlets, Sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. This leaves you feeling good about what you're putting on your hair and body.
  3. PUBLIC GOODS believes in simple and beautiful packaging that leaves a minimal footprint in your space - keeping your bathroom and kitchen feeling clean even when their products are still on the counter. 
They are a favorite. Check them out in store or online to try something new! Continue reading

Brands We Love: Maileg

Brands We Love: Maileg

Have you ever imagined that you could talk to animals or spend time dreaming up an amazing fictional world? 

Maileg's vision is just that - inspiring children to step away from technology and focus on imagination through tangible play.

Based out of Denmark, Maileg focuses on creating products that inspire us all to think like children. 

 "In a busy world of bright lights, bells and whistles, where new stories are continually impressed upon us. Maileg is a world in which matchboxes can be beds for mice; princesses make perfect teatime companions; and adventures can be found on a friendly forest walk. It is a world where cats and mice are friends. Ours is a world of childhood imagination – and this is a world we value." - Maileg Website 

Who doesn't want a mouse in a matchbox with a pillow, blanket, and little mattress or a mouse with their own car, hiking backpack, or beach-house. We love their rattles, dollhouses, stuffed animals and well, really everything they make. In fact, their Little Hippo is my youngest daughter's"special teddy" that she sleeps with each night. 

We are inspired by intentional gift giving to the children (or children at heart) in our lives - gifts that stir our little dreamers.
