VBN Holiday Breakfast

This past Friday, our Victoria Store Manager, Megan Johns, attended the VBN's holiday breakfast meeting at Solstice Cafe. It was a wonderful way to start the day. Over 25 like minded business owners and individuals came together to celebrate the holidays, and collect donations for the food bank. It was a wonderful way to get to know members of the sustainable business culture in Victoria. In attendance were individuals from Green Collective businesses, fair trade organizations, and even Denise Savoie, our local MP.

New Product - Level Ground Fair Trade Organic Coffee

This past Saturday, at our ecoeverything launch party, we served free Level Ground Trading fair trade and organic coffee to our holiday shoppers. Level Ground donated the coffee to our event to enhance the experience of our customers, and for that we thank them SO much! Due to our love for Level Ground, we have launched a few of their blends in our Victoria store for the holiday season. They are a fabulous company - a true leader in the fair trade and eco-friendly world and not to mention a leader in business community involvement here in Victoria.

Bamboo Rayon Towels Have Arrived!

Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for someone who has everything? Look no further! Bamboo fiber towels are a fabulous gift for any woman (or man for that matter) in your life. Even if your mum, sister or best friend already has a packed linen closet, if they have not tried bamboo towels, they are missing out! They are softer than cotton, more absorbent than cotton, AND they are more anti-bacterial than cotton. Pick up some facecloth stocking stuffers, or a full gift set! Starting at just $6.00 you can't go wrong!

New Name - New Look - Same Values

Fiber Options Victoria is soon to be Ecoeverything. We are currently making the transition over to this new name and are excited to celebrate with you! Please join us on Saturday December 12th for our launch party. From 10-7 we will be offering our loyal customers with free beverages, sales, our new eco-stocking stuffer area, a chance to join our new gift registry service, and a chance to win one of four $25.00 gift cards to the store. For more information, please feel free to email us at victoria@ecoeverything.com

Why the new name and look?

Since 1997, Fiber Options in Tofino BC has been offering our community with the best eco-friendly clothing and accessories that we could find. In 2000, we opened in Victoria and have carried on doing the same. Back in the late nineties when we opened, the eco-products available were mainly natural clothing and tree-free paper products. The vision however, right from the start of our first store, was to have a store that carried everything eco. With a primary focus on clothing for men and women, we wanted to be able to also offer our communities with the best in baby items, accessories, bed and bath items, home accessories, and gift ideas. Well, we are now making the transition to do just that. We have launched new product lines in the store for the Holiday 2009 season including bamboo charcoal deodorizers, and rayon from bamboo towels and bathrobes. More new items are set to arrive before Christmas, so be sure to check back in regularly!

Cold Hands?

Got cold hands in this chilly weather? Warm up with ethically sourced merino wool gloves from our Icebreaker label. Merino wool is nature's best fabric. Anti-bacterial, temperature regulating, odor resistant and warm when wet. It is the perfect 'wet coast' fabric. After all, it keeps a sheep alive all 365 days of the year through the summer, winter, rain, snow, and heat. Makes sense right?
