With fall right around the corner it’s time to start prepping for the colder days ahead. Hopefully we all get a little taste of fall this year before the snow starts to fall. Although like summer came all at once, I dread that fall will come and go within a blink of an eye. Like every season, there are certain things we can do to keep our lifestyles sustainable as our days grow shorter.   Like most of you, we are always looking for more ways to become more sustainable in our everyday lives. So we thought sharing some of...

I am Steve, the CEO/ President and founder of Bamboozle Home. I am not the owner, that privilege goes to my wife Valerie, who i love working for. We have over the years tried to incorporate charities into our daily lifestyle. To have that emotional "feel good" sentiment, you must understand what you give and what you receive from giving.Charity is not only about monetary donations, but we have also used Bamboozle Home for product donations to two organizations at two different universities. This allows them to upgrade their serve ware and tabletop items. This enhancement makes an overwhelming difference...

I want you to know that taking little steps towards sustainability is okay and...

My name is Mitch, and I am the Senior eCommerce and Media Manager for Bamboozle. I’m an upstate New York native who moved to North Carolina about 20 years ago. I enjoy good barbecue, trips to the mountains, and the first sip of coffee in the morning. I developed a passion for sustainability while attending the University of North Carolina – Greensboro. It was there that I realized how important it was for me to pursue a career that sought to better our environment and the planet we all call “home.” While plastics can do remarkable things that benefit us, the...
