Elegant Roots

ELEGANT ROOTS is a values-based online GIFT BOUTIQUE offering only exquisitely-crafted treasures from eco-conscious and socially responsible designers and small businesses. Because we believe in transparency and encouraging responsible commerce, we explain the WHO, WHAT, WHERE & WHY of each product and we tell the story of each designer.

Also in keeping with our values, we provide beautiful eco-friendly, reusable, locally-made gift packaging free of charge. We use certified "green" materials in our boxes / wrapping and are among the first to use 100% organic, undyed cotton ribbon made in the USA. Our gift cards are carbon-neutral, 100% post-consumer recycled content. A full description of our packaging details is available at our site under "Gift Packaging."

Our eco-friendly gift collection includes unique, handcrafted women's accessories, baby and kids, home decor, jewelry, men's accessories, pets and spa. Our offerings include organic, paraben-free and natural spa sets and botanicals; accessories and jewelry made from sustainable resources, recycled glass and industrial materials, recycled silver, organic cotton and cruelty-free silk; biodegradable wallets; organic dog treats; locally-made and recycled inner tube collars and leads; chemical-free beeswax and soy candles; museum-quality, one-of-a-kind Zulu baskets made with renewable resources and natural dyes; and certified fair trade artisanal gifts; and many other lovely gifts that benefit people and planet.

At ELEGANT ROOTS , we recognize that there are many ways to support the environment and that making responsible consumer choices can be a complicated matter. We also know that we are not perfect, and that we cannot expect perfection from any product, process or company. But we are confident that if we all take positive steps whenever reasonably possible, we can make a significant difference in this world. We invite people to SHOP with us and EVOLVE with us.
