Gifts for Sustainable Shopping
Give a gift to the Earth this holiday season by keeping your shopping eco-friendly!
Nature’s Way Market (143 Northampton St.)
Bulk herbs and spices from Nature’s Way! The perfect place to stop if you want to make your own tea blends, spice blends, or body care products. You can bring and tare your own containers and get crafty at home! Or pick out one of their tea blends and put in a cute jar (they also have reusable tea bags!). And for the coffee lover, there’s a reusable filter to go with their selection of bulk coffee bean choices!
Plus, local jam and peanut butter, because who doesn’t love this combination? You can’t go wrong with a classic.
Produce bags! Cute for loading up at store or at the Easton Farmers Market!
Easton Exchange (58 Centre Sq.)
Here you can find the coolest of junk. Need to find a way to play all of those CDs you’ve collected? Fantastic, they have CD players. And DVD players. And lots and lots and lots of old physical media that is so much better than anything a streaming service can provide. While not helping eliminate the accumulation of things you own, a visit here will definitely regain your appreciation for physical media and quality of the items you own over the quantity of what streaming services claim to provide. Bring “old” media back to life!
Casa 401 (16 N. 3rd St.)
Casa 401 specializes in supporting fair trade practices and a positive impact on the environment. Say yes to slow fashion!
Salvage Goods (24 S. 3rd St.)
The ethos of brining back pieces of history is alive and well here. Vintage Burberry, well patinated metalware, precious glassware, PA memorabilia, vintage pennants, and just about anything else you can think of. A true treasure chest of used and loved goods!
Belleville Market (20 S. 3rd St.)
There is not a single reason why you can’t find a gift for everyone on your list here. They even have a snack and drink machine in the back to fuel your shopping experience as you browse the dozens of booth spaces. Well curated vintage, a pop-up from FD Market for your sustainable goods, fantastic candles without all those whacky dyes, and soap that isn’t in plastic packaging! I may or may not have left with a gift or two for myself (an unintended consequence of walking in there: you will find something you love.) Oh and they have gift cards.
White Sewing Center (209 Northampton St.)
Do yourself a favor and get a sewing machine to start repairing and patching your old clothes and gear. They will fix broken machines and keep those bobbins full. Well loved clothes and gear never go out of style.
smARTivities (60 Centre Sq.)
Lots of mugs and ways to DIY in this gem. Catch them before they move to their space at the Promenades. They still have plenty of fun art classes to sign up for at their new location, so if you’ve been itching to start making ceramic bowls, plates, and mugs yourself, then treat yourself and some friends and family to an art class! An experience can often be the best gift.
Yellow Balloon Consignment (135 N. 3rd St.)
Find that one-of-a-kind piece they will remember forever!
Book and Puppet (22 Centre Sq.)
Love this little shop that carries books of all kinds for all ages and all interests. Let’s support our local bookstores. 
Looking for something specific for someone that they don’t have in the shop? Andy will order it for you!
Quadrant & ThreeBirds Coffee
1. A gift card to The Quadrant! With an array of wonderful books and food items, they are a sure stop for someone who has an interest in expanding their book collection with unique used books and grabbing a tasty bite. All in a beautiful, historic Easton building.
2. Gift card to Three Birds Coffee House! Situated in another beautiful old Easton building, Three Birds sources all of their coffee locally as well as their pastries (from a modern Crumb). A great place to ponder life’s wonders, read a book, or plot your next bike route…
