During such wild times, we cling even more to the sweet, dreamy moments of holiday goodness. A cozy blanket, a person we love to snuggle, and some twinkly lights does a soul good! Our gift guide offers a solid mix of indie woman-made, eco high-end, and affordable cruelty-free fare that’ll inspire your buying choices. Many of these gifts give back, as you’ll note when you click the image for more information, and many of our gifts are practical items that are bought even when it’s not the holidays! That being said, you do not need to buy one single thing to show someone you love them. The holidays should not need to be about gifts and waste, which only creates stress and pressure – they should be about spending beautiful moments together, and creating traditions. For those of us who can’t bare to not give a gift to someone special in our lives, below you will find all sort of awesome, thoughtful, and lovely items to support conscious businesses and give those you love a big smile.

Happy Holiday Gifting!

Meaningful Gifting Ideas, Beyond The Typical Presents:

Bake assorted desserts from my book and gifted them in boxes decorated with pieces of ribbon or wrapping paper I’d been given in the past. I also included the recipes (printed on recycled paper of course), so my friends could recreate their kind treats.

A subscription to an audiobook app or spotify
A package of online or irl yoga classes to her/his favorite studio
A package of life altering health supplements from mykind, for beginners or health pros
Hand make caramels and package them in vintage jars
A Gift Certificate to The RealReal for stunning, eco-friendly gently used high end fashion
A membership to a non profit you think they’d love.

I suggest:
