No one can deny the benefits of online shopping. They have brought many jobs to the marketplace including customer service positions, order fulfillers at the warehouse, and independent delivery drivers.

There are a variety of ways to repurpose our glass containers. Our jars can be used as a succulent planter, or to store small sewing kits, bobby pins, hair ties, coins, spices, etc. Our bottles can serve as a vase for a small floral arrangement reed diffuser, or herb garden. I am amazed at the uses our customers come up with.
