Giving Back & Climate Commitment

We Give Back—Every Year

When you shop with Good Things, you’re not just treating yourself—you’re helping us do a little good in the world too.

At the end of each year, we donate a portion of our proceeds to a local charity or community program in need. It’s our way of paying it forward and supporting the people (and pets!) who make our world brighter.

For 2025, we’ve chosen to support the Thurston County Humane Society—a cause close to our hearts. As a small, independent shop run by a proud dog mom (Ollie and Boots say hi 🐾), helping animals find safe, loving homes feels especially meaningful. Every purchase you make helps us contribute to their mission of compassion and care.

Over the years, our community has helped us give back to:

• Sunny Sky’s Animal Rescue
  
• St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
  
• Black Earth Farms

Whether you’re shopping for a gift or a little joy for yourself, you’re also helping us spread kindness where it’s needed most. Thank you for being part of something good. 💛

Climate Commitment

Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why Good Things supports cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air. Together, participating businesses have:

• Removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
• Provided carbon-neutral shipping on more than ten million orders

Here's how it works: For every eligible order, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.

Let's meet a few of the companies removing our shipping emissions:

• Heirloom's direct air capture technology enhances the carbon mineralization process. Heirloom's technology speeds up the rate at which naturally occurring minerals capture CO₂ rather than using energy-intensive fans to draw air in.
• Remora captures CO₂ from semi-truck tailpipes as they drive, with the CO₂ destined for long-term storage.
• Charm captures CO₂ using plant waste, converts it into a stable, carbon-rich liquid, and safely stores it deep underground—out of reach of wildfires and soil erosion.
