At the shop:

• JaMpdx is one of our favorites for local, handmade pottery. Not only do we have some of their beautiful stuff here online but they are currently donating 15% of their profit from their sales to a local charity. Get something for mom, help a local small business AND local charity. Total win/win/win!
• You can give the gift of a book AND help an independent bookstore like Powell's Books or any number of other stores around the country on Bookshop.org...
