Commonfolk Collective candles featuring artwork by Australian Artist Natalie Jade. Share is donating $15 for every one of these candles sold to the World Wildlife Fund Australia.
Many years ago, share owner Karen O’Sullivan came up with the idea behind her lifestyle shop. Opining on the name she chose, she notes, “not only do we share our curated finds with our customers, but we actively seek out brands that give back to important causes.” It is a win-win when we sell something that brings joy to all who touch it; from the gift giver, to the recipient, to the charity it supports.
Share, and its new outpost Shack, have an extensive selection of give-back products, including the exclusive line designed to celebrate the beautiful North Shore lakefront beaches called 600NS. This exclusive line of t-shirts, hats, bags, and stickers was designed by O’Sullivan and graphic designer, Eileen Noren. Share donates $1 for every 600NS item sold to the Chicago chapter of Surfrider Foundation—an organization passionately protecting our lakes, waves, and beaches.
This page contains a sampling of the fabulous philanthropic finds available at share. Go ahead, share the love.
Share is located at 1177 (Shack is 1181) Wilmette Avenue in Wilmette, 224-408-8166, sharewilmette.com.
