Glamping & Vintage
Sustainable and eco-friendly shopping is a growing trend. In Habo, you’ll find Vildungar a second-hand shop selling children’s clothing and toys, run by Marika. She says:
“I wanted to offer customers a smart, eco-friendly and economical shop without sacrificing quality. The items are second-hand, but like new. www.

Reuse, which is part of the municipality's sustainability work, is something that gives both people and items a second chance. Habo has shops with second-hand clothing and furniture that offer assembly and tailoring services. Find your own treasures and give yourself and others added value, while reducing your carbon footprint. www.habokommun.se
Shop from circular businesses for the benefit of children and a better world where their dreams can come true. Erikshjälpen one of Habo’s second-hand shops belongs to ERIKS Development Partner, a non-profit organisation that works to ensure children’s rights to education, health and protection. This is where the dream begins. The organisation believes in a future for children whose parents are unemployed, and in a more environmentally sound world with hope for future generations. www.erikshjalpen.se
After a day of second-hand shopping, it's great to stretch out in a comfortable bed and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. At Julared Glamping you will find luxuriously equipped dome tents surrounded by woods, so you can wake up to the sound of birds chirping in the trees. www.julared.se
