These handcrafted natural soaps, scrubs, and moisturizers are perfect for showering and pampering yourself. Try a sugar scrub--it exfoliates dead skin and moisturizes—leaving your skin glowing.
Soy Candles
Everybody loves scented candles-what we don’t love is breathing in harmful particulates from the petroleum based candles. Soy candles burn cleaner and are made from a renewable ingredient—soybeans! Check your local Village Gift Shop, like Village Gift Shoppe on Hillside Ave in Williston Park.
Organic Sheets & Towels
Everybody loves soft, comfy sheets and fluffy towels—what we don’t love is toxic chemicals. Organic sheets and towels are soft, fluffy and pesticide-free. Better for you and the environment! These sheets and towels can be found at affordable prices in Target and Linens and Things.
Local Wineries:
Long Island has some exceptional vineyards-where the wine grapes are grown locally and wine bottled on the Island. By supporting the local vineyards we are supporting local businesses, ensuring that farmland is not lost to development and giving an exceptional holiday gift—one that all are sure to thank you for.
Dozens of world-renown wineries are scattered throughout eastern Long Island, mostly on the North Fork. Great for gifts or for weekend outing! For listings, check: www.liwines.com
