The refillable gift
At all four of the Co-op’s main stores, you’ll find weFill jars—those handsome, screen-printed glass containers that make gifting ridiculously easy. Here’s the beauty of them: They’re not just attractive, they’re sustainable. Recipients can bring them back to refill again and again, earning a 25-cent credit each time they skip new packaging. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, literally.
For your favorite home baker, try filling a jar with Equal Exchange Fair Trade chocolate chips, premium walnuts or pecans, and crystallized ginger. Tuck in a tea towel, and you’ve created a gift that says “I know you, and I know what you love.”
Coffee and tea enthusiasts? The Co-op’s bulk sections are stocked with everything from classic French Roast and Earl Grey to more unique options, including local tea blends. Pair a jar of their new favorite blend with one of Weavers Way’s mugs, and watch their face light up.
The Co-op’s bulk department team members can help you find the perfect offering for just about anyone, from the youngest cocoa drinker, to the seasoned chef interested in the freshest spices available.
Box it up
Can’t decide on just one item? Want to offer a gift that highlights our regional food system for your foodie friend? Weavers Way’s new gift boxes are designed to showcase the best of what our stores have to offer in the bulk department and beyond! Think Valley Milkhouse Cheeses, Bjorn’s Popcorn, Moka Chocolate Bars, and Metropolitan Granola. A weFill jar fits perfectly inside, and looks perfect nested next to a jar of Tait Farm Jam. It’s easy to create a curated collection that celebrates sustainability, local food – or your friend’s personal tastes.
This December, skip the corporate cart and give gifts that nourish, delight, and build community instead.
