The Ultimate 2024 Guide To Sustainable Gifts They’ll Actually Love
Popping in to share this huge 2024 gift guide I've been working on all month.

Recycled outdoor rugs are actually much easier to come by than their indoor-only counterparts, mostly ... Read More

Pastel Moroccan Rugs from Baba Souk + 20% Off!
Big thanks to eco club member Baba Souk for sponsoring this post. We've included their Moroccan rugs in past guides and really appreciate the opportunity to dive into more detail about this fun brand! It's no secret that I love to talk rugs around here. Searching for ethically sourced rugs several years ago set off an obsession with this homeware staple and eventually I began to share my favorites. First, our guide to ethically made rugs online, and later I got even more specific and shared ... Read More
