Hello!

Midnight Madness Sale
Spend your evening in our neighborhood on Saturday, December 12 and save! Our neighbors, including Joie de Vivre, Susanna, Abodeon, Irish Imports, and Nomad
will all be open late and offering holiday shopping deals. Some
will also have food, drink, and entertainment. At Greenward we
will be offering 15% off of all sales over $50 from 6pm on!*
*discount does not apply to sale items. Not to be combined with other offers.
Shift Your Shopping
Greenward is a sponsor of the Shift Your Shopping campaign organized by Somerville Local First and Cambridge Local First.
The Shift Your Shopping campaign encourages you to shift your holiday
shopping to local businesses. Money spent at locally-owned
businesses has a much greater positive impact on the local economy than
shopping at a big chain store--and we have much cooler stuff!
Make the shift!
Holiday Hours
Just a reminder that Greenward is open later through Christmas to make it easier to fit a visit to us into your busy schedules.
Holiday Season Hours:
Monday-Saturday: 11am-7pm
Thursday: 11am-8pm
Sunday: 12pm-6pm

Klean Kanteen Insulated Bottles

These new wide mouth insulated bottles from Klean Kanteen are sure to be popular. They will give you
years of service in keeping hot things hot and cold things cold. Use it

cold for up to 24 hours. Try it out with hot chili, coffee, or tea--the
bottle will keep them hot for up to six hours. Each bottle includes a
stainless loop cap. The loop cap has a stainless bottom, so nothing but
18/8 food grade stainless steel touches your foods and drinks. For
convenient drinking, check out the accessory café cap to convert the
bottle to a handy to-go mug. Stainless steel is recyclable, BPA-free,
durable, and easy to clean with a brush and warm, soapy water.

Bambu Hybrid Cutting Boards and Tea Lights
|
 
Bambu has combined two sustainable, functional, and beautiful materials
in one innovative cutting board with the Hybrid series. One side is
bamboo, which is durable, harder than most hardwoods, anti-microbial,
and grows quickly without requiring pesticides and fertilizers. The
other side is cork, which is renewable (just the bark of the cork tree
is harvested), slip resistant, impermeable to liquids, hypo-allergenic
and anti-fungal, and cushions knives to keep them sharp. The are
combined in a sleek cutting board with perfectly smooth, gapless edges
between the materials.
The new Bambu DeLights tea light holders are simple and pleasing. Bambu makes them from scrap
pieces from their many other great products (see hybrid cutting boards, above). The holder accommodates
standard 1.5" tea candles.
Hybrid cutting boards, small $33.99, large $43.99
Tea lights $2.99

Hambone Designs Velopocket
|
 
The
Velopocket. In Franglish, that means "bicycle pocket." Not like a pocket that your
bicycle will fit inside, but a pocket that fits on your bicycle. You
get the idea. You can read the story of Hambone Designs creator Lisa Marie Grillos, just like we did, in this article in the New York Times. Available in two models: cotton print with a shoulder
strap (more like a pocketbook for your bicycle) and nylon cordura with
no shoulder strap. There are four different prints and four different colors to choose from. Hand made in San Francisco!
With strap $44.99, without $39.99
