In order to become one of my favorite place to shop, a store has to have three things: quality, variety, and uniqueness. I honestly cannot remember when, or how, I found Scoutmob.com, but I am supremely glad I did.

Scoutmob believes that “by surrounding ourselves with the authentic, the unique and the curious, our lives are more awesome.” I wholeheartedly agree. Scoutmob celebrates independent makers and their inspired goods by highlighting local artisans. The goods on Scoutmob range from clothing, to furniture, to food.

Hand crafted, locally sourced, organic, beautiful food. Salts, cookies, oils, syrups, jams, candy, teas: you name it they probably have  it.  If you’re looking for gifts, or looking to try something new in the kitchen go check out scoutmob.com. Just don’t spend too much money.

TOMS the philanthropic company known most for their buy one give one shoes has ventured into a new realm of giving. It was the latest announcement by Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS, at SXSW Interactive in Austin, Texas (Yes, the founder of TOMS isn’t named Tom). Mycoskie talked about the social good mission of his company and had a big announcement for the crowd at the end of his talk. TOMS was diving into the world of coffee.  It will sell TOMS coffee online and in Whole Foods to start but will also start opening TOMS Roasting Company location around the country with the first one in Austin, Texas.

What will your purchase of coffee do for the world? TOMS will donate one days worth of water to someone in need in the areas where they get coffee beans from for each cup purchased and one weeks worth of water for each bag of coffee purchased. Water, especially clean water, is an important part of the coffee bean process and to keep people healthy.

“According to studies by the World Health Organization, 20 liters of clean water is the daily requirement per person for adequate drinking and personal hygiene. Just one bag of our coffee provides a week – 140 liters – of clean water to a person in need. TOMS partners with Water For People to provide clean water in 5 countries through sustainable, community-owned water systems.” – TOMS.com

TOMS Roasting Direct Trade Meets One for One

At the TOMS Roasting Company locations, it won’t just be about the coffee but other items sold by TOMS, including shoes, eye wear, and market place goods that all give back to various causes. These location will be a place for non-profits and other groups to meet and have conversations with a cup of social good coffee in hand.
