Danfoth Pewter
Middlebury, Vermont
About Danfoth Pewter
Danforth Pewter’s history stretches all the way to 1775. For nearly a century, the Danforth family made pewter their lifeblood. But then, in the late 19th century, Chinese imports popularized cheap porcelain and glass, and pewter fell out of favor. The Danforth family’s pewter tradition came to a close in 1873… or so it seemed. In 1975, Fred Danforth decided that he would revive the business and apprenticed with artisans to restore his family’s tradition. Today, the company is on solid ground and offers oh so many giftable goods at a variety price-points, from holiday ornaments to photo frames to jewelry to keyrings — all made of timeless pewter handcrafted in Middlebury, Vt.

About Earth Breeze
Earth Breeze makes laundry detergent sheets designed to replace bulky plastic jugs. The sheets are lightweight, take up less space and help cut down on packaging and shipping waste. They’re also made without harsh chemicals like dyes, parabens or optical brighteners, so there’s no heavy residue left on clothes. The company also supports efforts to remove plastic from oceans and waterways. It’s a small switch moving over to sheets, but one that adds up quickly since it’s something most people use every week.
