Happy holidays!!!! I’ve already set up my tree and hung wreaths on the windows – it’s our fist Christmas in this house, so I just couldn’t wait! I’m equally excited to share these sustainable gift guides I created based on what I’m gifting loved ones this year. If you know me, you know I try to support sustainable, clean, and small businesses whenever I can. I’m hoping these gifts are helpful for you as you shop for your favorite people! Wishing you an amazing holiday season!!

For Her

1. DIME Mega Eye Bundle: they use sustainable packaging, and I am LOVING their mascara in this eye bundle (still testing out the eyebrow and lash serums, but so far so good!).
2. Athleta 7/8 Leggings: as a B-corp, Athleta is dedicated to balancing profits with people and the planet. Plus, these leggings are amazing!!
3. Vejas campo sneakers: made with Amazonian rubber soles, vegan leather, and entirely traceable/ethical materials. I’ve had my pair for a year and they are a true year-round wardrobe staple.
4. Everlane merino half zip sweater: literally anything by Everlane is guaranteed to be the absolute best. They’re not only dedicated to cute clothes, though – their price transparency is amazing, and their commitment to sustainability is truly commendable.
5. J Crew jammies: I bought myself a pair of these on sale because they’re made with responsibly-sourced viscose.
6. Stanley 40 oz water bottle: stainless steel + reusable! I take this with me everywhere.
7. Beyond Bright Minis: Beautycounter is also a B-corp and will have 100% sustainable packaging by next year. I love supporting them because their products are safe, sustainable, and genuinely of the highest quality.
8. Cuyana panama wide-brim hat: I have been eyeing this hat for YEARS because it’s beautiful. Cuyana uses sustainable materials and ethical labor practices. A win-win.

For Him

1. Vejas campo sneakers: he’ll wear these all the time and he’ll look good doing it!
2. Vegan leather cashmere lined gloves: these classic vegan leather gloves will step up any guy’s winter wardrobe.
3. Ember mug: definitely a luxury, but a dang good one at that. This is a temperature-control mug (controlled by your phone). Ember has big ambitions in the packaging world to improve the reusability of food and medicine containers worldwide.
4. Beautycounter face sunscreen: the best clean and sustainable sunscreen, no contest. Goes on clear. This is Jake’s go-to anytime he’s outside.
5. Brooklinen waffle weave robe: Jake practically lives in his. It’s amazingly comfortable and made with responsibly sourced cotton.
6. Monos hard sided carry-on bag: we have Away luggage, but if I could go back in time I’d get Monos instead. Their carry-on bag is great and they’re climate neutral certified.
7. MountainFlow Eco Wax – hot wax for ski/snowboard: the perfect wax to gear up (or touch up) for ski season!
8. REI Lifetime Membership: a one-time $30 fee pays off almost immediately and, certainly over a lifetime of purchases. You’ll get annual cash back, access to great sales, great customer service, etc. I’ve been a member for years and love it.

For Parents/In-Laws

1. NakedWines membership: the gift that keeps on giving! We’ve been NakedWines members for years and absolutely love them. They’re all US winemakers and engage in ongoing sustainability efforts,
2. Ember mug: calling all moms/grandmas! This is the perfect gift for anyone who has ever put their coffee in the microwave to warm it up only to discover that it’s still there an hour later.
3. Renew You Body Duo: this is one of my personal favorite holiday sets! With a tightening boost body serum and a body exfoliator, it’s perfect to split up and give one to your mom and one to your MIL.
4. Aerogarden indoor grow kit: such a fun way to get fresh herbs on your pasta!
5. National Parks Pass: as an outdoorsy family, this is a gift I know my parents would love. Even if your family isn’t the most outdoorsy, this would be a great way to encourage loved ones to get outside!
6. Vegan leather gloves (Downholme): an affordable and luxurious gift for moms, dads, grandparents, etc.
7. Stainless steel gold cheese knife set: these are gorgeous! They’re not the most sustainable brand on the planet, but these are pretty.

For Home + Kitchen

1. In-drawer knife organizer: we have this in our drawer and it’s a great solution for keeping things off countertops! It’s made from maple from responsibly-managed forests in the US.
2. Branch Basics starter kit: this brand is the best clean/sustainable alternative to Clorox that I’ve found so far. The concentrate lasts for a good while – and the streak-free in particular is 12/10.
3. World Market compost bin: composting is a great practice to get into in preparation for gardening next spring 😉 this super cute bin can either go under the sink or on your countertop if that’s your vibe.
4. 3-in-1 Apple charging station: not really sustainable per-say, but truly awesome. I’m obsessed with mine – so efficient!
5. Marley’s Monsters UnPaper Towels: we have these as well and they’re a great alternative to wasteful paper towels! Admittedly it does take some practice to get used to, but for everyday cleaning tasks like wiping down countertops, they’re the best.
6. Stainless steel gold cheese knife set: a great gifts for new homeowners, friends, etc.
7. Over-the-sink drying rack: this silicone drying rack folds up really small and sits over the sink to take up minimal space. The perfect solution for small spaces and totally flies under the radar.
8. Salad spinner: a better alternative than buying salad bags!

For the Outdoors(wo)man

1. National Parks Pass: the ideal gift for anyone who loves to be outside.
2. Portable utensil set: made from sustainable materials and (obviously) reusable. They’re great for campers, but also for folks going into the office.
3. REI Lifetime Membership: still one of the best gifts to give!
4. Beautycounter face sunscreen: it’s so important to protect your skin from sun exposure on all your outdoor adventures.
5. Exped double sleeping pad: we’re so excited to try this out the next time we camp!
6. Rumpl puffer blanket: this puffer-style blanket is not only great for cold nights by the campfire, but also for picnics – and everything in between.
7. OutdoorMaster ski goggles: just ordered these myself! So excited that the lenses are made from cotton extract and the strap is bamboo.
8. MountainFlow Eco Wax – hot wax for ski/snowboard: gear up for the ski season properly!

Stocking Stuffers

1. BC Goodbye Dry Body Duo: this is another perfect gift set to split up and add to multiple stockings! This set includes the AMAZING sugarbuff body polish and the body butter – two of the very best!!
2. Boie USA face scrubber: I’ve had both the face and body scrubber for a couple years and they both are amazing. Made in the USA from silicone and top-rack dishwasher safe.
3. Marley’s Monsters UnPaper Towels: great to test swapping out the use of paper towels!
4. Portable utensil set: great for camping and/or work lunches!
5. Attitude Living Hand Sanitizer: great smells, great price, great ingredients, and great sustainability practices.
6. Etsy Bento Box: dishwasher safe and a much more sustainable option than buying a lunch or using Ilia Overnight Lip Wrap: Ilia is another great sustainable and clean beauty company, and this lip wrap is the absolute best for keeping your lips hydrated throughout the winter.
