About

Welcome to the Something Green Gift Shop!

My name is Kristin Frögren, and I am the founder of this unique online store that combines sustainability, creativity and care in every detail. Something Green Gift Shop is more than just a store - it's a dream come true and a personal journey that has led me here.

During my master's degree, I went through a period of exhaustion that affected both my mental and physical health. After being diagnosed with autism a few years ago, I gained a deeper understanding of why I function differently than others. That insight has given me the strength to shape an everyday life that suits my needs, but also pushed me to create a platform where I can express my creativity and give something back to the world.

Starting an online store is a way for me to take control of my health and my working life. By working from home, I can create a safe and flexible environment where I can work at my own pace and on my own terms.

What you will find here

In my shop you will find a carefully selected range of environmentally friendly and often handmade products, created with consideration for nature and with a focus on sustainability. The inspiration comes from my background in biology and earth science, and my interest in qualitative and unique goods. Here you can discover everything from beauty products and notebooks to creative gifts and design items – products that are both functional and meaningful.

I strive to offer unique products that promote a more conscious lifestyle, provide inspiration and encourage making sustainable choices. At the same time, I want to support other small businesses and minority groups by collaborating with ethical and local suppliers.

Sustainability and responsibility

I am determined to run Something Green Gift Shop with high business ethics and a strong focus on responsibility. Here are some of the steps I take to ensure a positive impact:

• Transparency and safety: All handmade products contain clear lists of contents and comply with applicable laws and regulations, including warning labels for customer safety.

• Environmental considerations: I use sustainable and reusable materials as much as possible, and reuse packaging materials from imported goods to reduce waste and resource consumption.

• Data protection: Customers' privacy is prioritized by complying with the GDPR and ensuring safe handling of personal data.

• Support for Small Business Owners: I prioritize working with businesses owned by women, neurodivergents and LGBTQI people, as well as small business owners who share my values.

Through these actions, I hope that Something Green Gift Shop can contribute to a more sustainable and just world, while offering my customers an inspiring shopping experience.
