Shopping Local

Ben Polzin

Sometimes I think that some companies use “Shopping Local” As a gimmick to sell their wares. For us its a complete lifestyle. Its not just about supporting local artists and local brands here in the Twin Cities.  Its about making sure that our dollars are going to places that we can stand by. When you shop local you reduce your environmental impact by purchasing goods that are made near you, reducing transportation means less fossil fuels being used. Shopping local also helps keep more money in the local economy, creates local jobs, and helps build community by supporting artists in your area. When we strive to be your local crystal destination, its because we love St Paul and love being able to give back to the community that raised me.

Here at Pebbles its also about not being reliant on selling our labor to corporate overlords to make a dollar its also about building community around what we love in the area we love. We love our Twin Cities neighbors and being able to provide them with affordable crystals and stones for their life. We pride ourselves on ethically sourcing, so that if you are using our crystals for metaphysical purposes, you can harness the energy without a heavy weight on your consciousness. We are not only proud to support local brands, we sell locally grown house plants when possible. We have local brands in our shop, we prioritize local restaurants at lunch. Because shopping local is more than just a gimmick, its a way of giving back.
