Hello Friends! We at Silver in the City, think you’re pretty great for making the conscious effort to go green this season and we’re here to make that a little easier for you!

Behold our collection of favorite reusable goodies that are both versatile and practical.

We especially love the metal reusable straws (they come with their own cleaning wand!). We know you’re thinking: how much of a difference can a reusable straw really make? If every person used one plastic straw a day, that would mean 7 billion plastic straws are going into the trash every single day. By cutting down on single use plastics, from coffee-stirring straws to plastic sporks, you can help to drastically reduce unnecessary waste.

Looking for an extra-green, extra-special gift? Match our reusable lunch bags, such as this aptly named Hangry tote, which are made of 95% post-consumer recycled materials (as is that sweet lil’ Dino pouch – perfect for snacks), along with a stylish Porter ceramic bowl with silicone lid, and a set of stainless-steel cutlery with handy carrying case for the person with the Instagram worthy homemade lunches. Or consider adding a glass bottle of rainbow tipped matches to those candles you’re planning to give this season. Buying wooden matches instead of plastic lighters can significantly cut down on waste that we don’t even think about.

We’re so passionate about “easy green” choices, that we’re always stocked up on products like stainless steel insulated water bottles and natural charcoal water filters (for cool, clean water on the go without the waste), pretty as a picture hot beverage tumblers to cut down on those takeaway coffee and tea cups that fill our sidewalk trash bins, beeswax foods wraps to use in place of plastic wrap for keeping your foods fresh, and Swedish dish cloths, such as this Cat’s Meow design, which are made from cotton and completely plant-based cellulose fibers, are machine washable, and take the place of plastic scrubbing brushes at the sink.  Mix and match your favorite gifts from our collection, pop them into one of our festive patterned reusable shopping totes and you’ll be walking out the door with a gift ready for the giving.

With a little extra thought, it’s never been easier to help our planet. Stop on by to get some gifts for your earth-lovin’ friends that they won’t stop talking about!

We would like to challenge you to an eco-friendly holiday.

Love, Silver in the City
