The Village Alliance’s Sustainable Gift Giving Guide

Cross off all your holiday lists with an outing to Greenwich Village. Hit some incredible home goods shops, zero-waste and vintage stores – all in the span of a few blocks.

Avoid plastic packaging and transportation costs by hitting some local stores on foot! You’ll find unique goods and you’ll be supporting your community’s local businesses.

The Village is home to A Sustainable Village, which provides high quality, zero waste home goods and toiletries. Think soaps, shampoos, razors, candles, cleaning goods. Maybe your friend wouldn’t buy a fancy $28 shampoo bar for themselves, but they WILL appreciate one as a gift! Quite literally the gifts that keep on giving, to your friends, fam and the earth!

The Village is home to some of the best vintage shops in the world. Get your people high quality, one-of-a-kind gifts by shopping for vintage and antique goods. Check out the Village’s top vintage shops:

Everybody needs an excuse to go out and enjoy the city without breaking the bank. Maybe it’s a gift card to a fine dining spot, a night at a local hotel, or an art or cooking class…Gifting an experience is the most sustainable gift of all.
