Nothing Fancy Supply
Between meals, store your snacks, supplies or leftovers in a sustainable alternative: beeswax food wraps! Nothing Fancy Supply has everything you need to start making a positive change in your household. You can seal wrap your food or containers with only the warmth of your hands, and “with proper care, the wrap will last between 6-12 months.” We could never pick just one, so we suggest the Beeswax Wrap Bundle (from $18); it contains a wrap in small, medium and large.
GrownUp KidStuff
Feel like a responsible adult, all while indulging like a kid with GrownUp KidStuff! The company known for their tasty sauces cares about more than just the wow factor; they’re committed to using all natural ingredients, they choose glass jars “because they hold the flavor and are nearly infinitely recyclable,” and they dedicate a portion of proceeds “to support local prairie restoration.” Treat yourself to Our Original Chocolate Sauce ($10); it was their first sauce and it’s also their best seller! They call it the “hot fudgiest” sauce, “extraordinarily dark but not bitter.” And while you’re at it, cook up a Flourless Chocolate Cake using their own recipe here!
The Alabama Sweet Tea Company
The Alabama Sweet Tea Company sells exactly what you’d imagine, but it’s like no other you’ll find! They “do things the old-fashioned way: no artificial stuff, no preservatives.” Brew some of their delicious, “custom-blended tea” right in your own home! Snag their Southern Tea by the Box ($8) or by the Family Size Pouch ($14). When you order by the box or pouch it doesn’t include sugar, so it’s completely customizable! Make it your own, sweeten it or even spike it!
Fill My Jar
We’ve got just the thing for your sweet tooth! Fill My Jar creates handcrafted candies. We suggest putting their Peppermint Bark (from $4) on your next hot cocoa board! They infuse their white chocolate “with natural peppermint oil and mix in red and green peppermint candy crunch for a creamy peppermint flavor from start to finish.” Hot chocolate boards are all the rage this winter, and in case you need some ideas here is a great article from EatingWell.
Brewt’s
There’s nothing like kicking off a cold morning with a bloody! We’ve found the experts when it comes to crafting this cocktail, Brewt’s!
