By megret | January 23, 2009 at 8:22 am | 44 comments | Clothing & Accessories, For Moms


On this last day of the Muse Reviews Valentine’s Day Gift Guide, let me introduce you to a company you may know very little or nothing about: Greenheart. Greenheart is a Chicago-based, eco-fair trade organization/retailer that carries a variety of fantastic items. They are a non-profit store, as well as an eco-friendly establishment.

Here are a few facts about them:

~ Their brick-and-mortar shop in Chicago is getting a lot of great buzz around town, and their website is slowly gaining the same well-known reputation.
~ They package using only recycled boxes and packing materials, so as to reduce environmental waste.
~ They carry items from several artisans who specialize in varied crafts.
~ Their cornerstone is the concept of fair trade, the concept of which you can read more about here.

Just look at a few of their eclectic items available:


Handwoven knit “cupcakes.”


Batik note cards.


Beautiful handknit scarves.

Their jewelry selection is equally unique:


Carnelian oval ring.


Multi-strand bracelet.

There is bound to be something in this delightful shop for everyone on your gift list for Valentine’s Day….and beyond. Keep Greenheart in mind for one-of-a-kind gift purchases that you can feel good about buying!

Win it!I have Greenheart’s Glass Heart Pendant AND Glass Heart Bracelet for one of you! Aren’t they stunning? (I fell in love with the necklace and ended up ordering one for myself. Love.It.)

All you need to do is head over to Greenheart’s online store and look around a little. Find something else that really catches your eye in their shop, then come back here and tell me about it in a comment. US entries only; duplicate commenters will not be eligible to win. I’ll close the contest next Sunday, February 1st, 2009 at 11pm EST. Good luck!
