CARTGrommet Story
Our story is really simple...because it's not about us. It's Citizen Commerce™ and it's all about finding really fresh products and telling their stories. Those products, and their creators, and the people who love them (the products, that is) are the real heroes at Daily Grommet.
And then the best part is, when we tell the story of a great product (or what we call a Grommet), people -- citizens -- all over the world share the story, and help the Grommet get discovered, enjoyed, and dare we say, loved.

Citizen Commerce
Daily Grommet is the birthplace of Citizen Commerce.
We believe every purchase is an act of citizenship. It amplifies something in the world, good, bad or indifferent. At Daily Grommet we're creating a place for people who want their purchases to have meaning -- to support what matters most to them: whether it's technical innovation, green or social enterprises, the creation of jobs, domestic manufacturing, or the preservation of craft.
And we're rethinking the way people fundamentally launch, discover, share, influence and buy these kinds of products, online. Given that our consumer purchases create 70% of the US economy, that's a pretty powerful place to start changing the world.
How you can be part of Citizen Commerce:
- Send us your Grommet ideas
- Talk about and share Grommets with us on Twitter and Facebook
- Follow our Citizen Commerce story and tell us yours
- Transfer 10% (or more!) of your purchases to locally-owned shops, and to online products that directly support your values
- Read more about Citizen Commerce on the Daily Grommet blog and on Jules' blog.
What's a Grommet
- It's a wonderful product still waiting in the wings, just ripe for discovery.
- It has great utility, or style, or invention. Or, very often it has all three.
- It comes from a designer, or inventor, or artist, or manufacturer who is clearly passionate about what they create. Someone who loves to share their creations and talk to people about why they do what they do.
- It comes from a company that treats its customers well.
- Finally, like any intelligent or beautiful product, it has a great story, ready to be told.
