Greater Goods is an institution in Eugene. It’s a terrific place to do a little shopping for yourself, and even more so, a great place to find a gift for someone you love. I think it’s a ton more authentically Eugene than the shiny 5th Street Public Market across the street. Their specialty is selling fair trade items from around the globe. Regardless of your shopping ethics, you’ll find a ton of cool stuff here. They have hats and gloves and other clothing, journals, cards, prayer flags(and other bullshittery) and silver jewelry. I stop in from time to time to buy some earrings. They have a good selection, including studs which I can put in my ears or my nose. I put studs in other places too, but that’s another story.
