Welcome
Welcome to the Simple Makes Shop: simple and green products for family & home.

My absolute favorite items are shown below, and you can browse the categories on the right for more.

I list my favorites in the "my picks" categories. "Amazon Green" displays items selected by their new eco-friendly program.

When you buy something here or anything else on Amazon.com (just search via the top-right box on this page), I'll earn a small commission to help me maintain SimpleMakes.com. Thanks for showing your love!

Of course, you might find these or similar items in a thrift store or library, too, so keep your eyes open! (Unfortunently, your local stores don't send me a commission, but I'm sure they'd appreciate your business all the same :-D)
