Homeware by Hola
Terra by Hola!
I’m Back
@HOLA.TERRA,
@HOLA.IMBACK
Hola Terra, part of the Hola!
I’m Back brand, creates ethically
and environmentally conscious
homewares. Hola Terra’s planters,
coasters and more are made
from ground stone and natural
pigments by founder Natalia
Machado in her Astoria apartment
— and she uses a mold
rather than an oven to keep
her environmental impact low.
Purchasing these chemical-free
products supports a womanowned,
Queens-based business.
Soaps, lotions and candles by
VUVUGOODA
@VUVUGOODA
VUVUGOODA, which focuses on organic, zero-waste
products, worked with Gift Box from the very beginning.
The owner, who lives in Astoria, makes organic
lotion bars, soaps and beeswax candles. Pictured are
soaps that look and smell good enough to eat!
Candles by Dreamscape Candles
@DREAMSCAPECANDLESHOP
Dreamscape Candles owner Emma Brad was born
in Astoria and spent her early childhood in the neighborhood
before moving, but she discovered Gift
Box while visiting family around the corner from the
shop. Her candles are inspired by books, movies and
TV shows like “Harry Potter,” “Clueless,” “Game of
Thrones” and “Schitt’s Creek.”
