Tea, Anyone?


We have been searching a long time for a candle in an interesting vessel and we finally found it. These beautiful soy wax candles are hand-poured in Chicago and use vintage teacups and saucers - the result is pure charm. Each one is different, making it a great gift. And the best part? If you bring the clean teacup back in to Grasshopper 510, we'll get it refilled for you.

Teacup Candle, $32 each

Resolutions

Here at Grasshopper 510, we believe it's all about little changes that add up to big results. We resolved to use less plastic water bottles a few years back and have stuck with it, but in 2009 we can feel even better about using our Brita water filter thanks to the new Take Back the Filter Campaign now in effect. It doesn't get much easier than dropping the used (and dried) filters off at a Whole Foods - no excuses any more! (Check with your local Whole Foods to make sure they are participating.)


And what better to take with you to the grocery store than these great shopping bags from Blue Avocado made of recycled materials?
