Holiday Gift Guide

The Holidays are coming! Are you both partially annoyed because Christmas decorations have been out since Back-to-School but also partially really excited? I’m equal parts elf and Grinch, loving the shopping and gift-giving and music and dreading the pushy crowds.

Here are some of my plans for online shopping (to stay sane!), and be a Thoughtful Consumer this holiday season:

1. Shop through smile.amazon.com. Simply by shopping at smile. instead of www. a small portion of your purchase is donated to your non-profit of choice. #choiceofcharity

2. Posh to Meet You bundle: $20 gets you 3 bath and body products where you can mix and match the flavors or scents to customize it for your giftee. I've previously written about how cool this brand is for being natural, cruelty free, and made in the USA! #madeintheusa #naturalingredients

3. Feeling Balanced is a Gift aromatherapy set from Aveda. Aveda is an amazing company, from supporting clean water causes to using responsible packaging to wrapping their gift products in hand-crafted paper from Nepal. #handmade #naturalingredients
 
4. The Artisan Box - shop for individual gifts or give an artisan box subscription. #fairtrade #artisanmade


5. These sweet bracelets from Divinity LA. Each donates to one of various non-profits, so pick your favorite color, or your favorite cause. This one goes towards the planting of a tree. #choiceofcharity







6. For your animal lovers, "Shop" at the World Wildlife Fund. WWF turns around the concept of a part of your purchase being a donation. Rather, you are making a donation and the item you receive is a Thank You gift. They have everything from Virtual animal adoption where you receive a plush toy and an adoption certificate, to animal print tees and tote bags, to beautiful framed art. #animalwelfare

7. This cute tee from iheartsdogs.com. Each sale provides meals for shelter dogs, with this shirt giving 7 meals. #animalwelfare









8. This tee to show your dog he's loved! Hendrick & Co donates to over 600 animal charities. A purchase of this tee contributes $5.  #animalwelfare

9. Comfy enough for day, and sexy enough for date night, this soft lingerie from Brook There. #organiccotton #madeintheusa #vegan


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. The super soft organic cotton sweatpants for him from Wear PACT. (6 pack not included!) #organiccotton

11. This cross-body bag from Fritz & Fraulein. All of Stacey's products are upcycled from vintage materials. #artisanmade #upcycled







Happy shopping, folks! May your holidays be merry, bright, and filled with Thoughtful gifts.
