We care about how our business effects the earth. While it is currently not possible to make a 100% green basket, we are committed to providing all that we can to make them earth friendlier. We do this in the following ways:
Besides being more sustainable and supporting our community, we choose local so as to decrease our shipping and therefore our carbon footprint
We use recycled and biodegradable tissues, paper shreds and gift boxes
We use natural shaved aspen wood, also known as excelsior
We re-purpose the cardboard boxes our products come in for our basket supports, as well as collect scrap cardboard and paper from local businesses
We choose tulle fabric wrap as our first choice over plastics for the wrapping of our baskets
While we do use wicker baskets, we also try to use alternative containers that might be more useful and less likely to be thrown out, for example magazine holders, organizational bins and reusable shopping bags
We collect used shipping air pillows from the City of Corvallis and local businesses like Corvallis Custom to package our gift baskets for shipping.
We reuse packing peanuts from the shipments we receive from our vendors to package our own shipments.
In our efforts to be mindful of how our business effects the earth, we do more than use earth friendlier materials in the construction of our gift baskets. We are always looking for ways and ideas on how to repurpose or reuse the packaging or items in our baskets. We have many practical and grand ideas for upcycling on Pinterest and our Blog.
