Celebrate those mommas, friends, cool ass women you 💗LOVE with these GCM picks- all from woman owned creators.

We adore a heartfelt artisan made work of wonder and whimsy, and we know these special pieces will bring so much joy to their “forever home”.

* not AI, just a retired English major with a soft spot for an em dash😭

Quick note: we will be CLOSED for Mother’s Day 5/10 because these biz owner squirrels have little squirrels.🥰 We hope you all get to enjoy a heartfelt and connective weekend with people who support and love you!

🌎Happy earth day! 🌎

Did you know that here at we have several makers who create with up-cycled goods?! We also have one vendor who donates a portion of their proceeds to habitat preservation for our pollinators!!!

We are so proud to carry these small businesses in our shop!

1. All sales of lip balm benefit habitat preservation for pollinators! We also carry a selection of their lotion bars and gift sets. With these products you can smell good, look good, and feel good!

2. offers handmade cat toys sustainably sewn with vintage, secondhand, and upcycled fabrics and materials. In the shop we have a selection of kickers, squishies, felted balls, mini sewing kits and more!

3. .ginger1 creates upcycled dog toys, collars, and leashes! The most popular item of hers we carry in the shop are the monkey fist toys, made from recycled commercial crabbing robe that would otherwise wise end up in a landfill. Her leashes, collars, and rope toys are made with retired climbing rope. These products are durable and helpful to the environment!

4. Bee sting press is a local artist who screen prints his original designs on thrifted shirts, helping keep clothing out of the landfills. We have three of his designs to choose from and are always updating colors and sizes. Robin also makes beautiful framed prints that he hand crafts his own frames for.

She has framed prints that use upcycled frames, keeping her cost and footprint low! We also carry Renee’s beautiful handmade cards and notebooks in shop!

If you’re tired, come be held.
If you’re angry, come put it somewhere useful.
We’re open for community gathering, resisting ICE violence, and turning care into action.
A storefront on the outside.
A soft rebellion on the inside.
You don’t have to carry this alone.

Image description: Black poster with white and red text announcing that on 1/30/2026 Grit City Made will be closed for business and open for community in solidarity with immigrant communities and in opposition to ICE violence, offering space, call scripts, and protest sign supplies.
