Clean Holiday Gift Guide 2021
The days are shorter, the leaves are falling, the air is turning crisp, and it’s that time of year with the holidays right around the corner! With how quickly time seems to be moving these days, the holidays will be upon us in no time, so don’t wait to get your gift shopping done! Here’s my guide for gifting clean this holiday season while supporting small businesses too.
Something for everyone on your list
For your besties
Dry Farm Wines - These naturally crafted wines have seriously been life-changing for me. This wine is made from grapes using dry farm irrigation which significantly decreases the amount of water making it more sustainable than conventional vineyards. There are no added sugars or colorants (did you know, up to 72 chemicals can be added to conventional wine?!), it’s fermented with wild yeast, and it’s some of the BEST wine I’ve tasted! The best part, without all those icky additives, you don’t feel terrible after even a few glasses.
Beautycounter Good Scents Bath Oil Trio - This set is perfect for your bestie who works her butt off and needs to relax! Encourage her with these aromatherapeutic bath oils in 3 different scents.
Beautycounter Good Glitz Duo - This beautiful shadow palette is talc-free AND tested for heavy metals to ensure safety! But safety doesn’t mean compromise on quality. These shades are highly pigmented and buildable. Paired with the best-selling Beyond Gloss in a color exclusive for holiday.
For the Gift Exchange or Coworkers
Basic Bee Candle Co - My favorite alternative to toxic candles! Shaina hand pours her candles using beeswax, a safer alternative to paraffin wax. Her candles are scented with pure essential oils and the wick is 100% cotton. Conventional candles often give off toxic fumes from the wax, synthetic fragrances used, and wicks that contain traces of metal. These candles are locally made in California!
Plant Therapy Essential Oils - I’m loving diffusing the fall and winter scents from Plant Therapy! Essential oils are a great, clean alternative to candles too, and may provide added benefits such as stress reduction or immune boost. What I like about Plant Therapy is their dedication to safety and quality ingredients. They use 3rd party testing to ensure their oils are completely safe before they reach your hands. Check out their Deck the Hall and Winter Night bundles!
Beautycounter Hand Cream Trio - This is hands down (pun intended) my favorite hand cream! They make a perfect gift or stocking stuffer, and I always hold onto one for myself too! They come with 3 aromatherapeutic scents that are light and heavenly. And the non-greasy formula is perfect for dry winter hands.
For Something Cozy
Cozy Earth Pajamas - Made with bamboo these pajamas are ultra-soft and eco friendly. The perfect way to cozy up on a chilly winter morning! With sets for both men and women, this is the perfect gift for a special someone in your life.
MATE the Label - When I tell you I’m obsessed with these sweat pants, that’s an understatement! As soon as the weather gets chilly, I live in a set and sweatpants and a sweatshirt from this brand! They’re clothing is sustainably made with organic cotton right here in LA. They ensure their clothing is free from any harmful toxins such as formaldehyde and other carcinogens and they’re dedicated to ensuring an ethical supply chain with low carbon emissions. But the best part, serious comfort!!
Beautycounter Clean Dreams Set - The perfect gift quality beauty sleep is with this clean and clever trio. The Counter+ Overnight Resurfacing Peel creates smoother, softer feeling skin with AHA/beta-hydroxy acid treatment. This is one of my favorite and go-to products that I use 2-3 times a week for a brighter and smoother complexion. It also acts as an exfoliant by removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell turn over. Then, slather on Countertime Tetrapeptide Supreme Cream, a decadent, deeply hydrating cream that nourishes skin and visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles. The supreme cream is by far my favorite skin care product! I literally cannot complete my skincare routine without. Top it all off with our limited-edition Clean Dreams Eye Mask made from cupro, a silk alternative for the perfect night of shut-eye. This set is the best way to round out a cozy evening in!
For the Parents or In Laws
Greenpan Non-stick Cookware - Both my parents and my in-laws swapped out all their cookware recently for Greenpan after my suggestion and they love it! Most non-stick cookware uses a toxic chemical, called tephlon, to create the non-stick surface. Tephlon breaks down over time, leaches into your food, and can lead to numerous health concerns. Greenpan uses a ceramic coat which is a much safer and cleaner option to Tephlon! This gift is also great any chefs or foodies who love to cook!
Grund Sheets and Towels - I’ve been in love with these products for 2 years now! Conventional cotton often uses tons of pesticides that leave residual chemicals on your final product. When it comes to sheets, that means you’re sleeping with off-gassing of chemicals such as glyphosate often used to treat cotton. Grund uses all organic cotton and is dedicated to sustainability. Their sheets are not only clean but also soft of luxurious! I love their towels and blankets too!
For the Movers
Girlfriend Collective - The perfect athleisure wear for the active person on your list. I love this brand for many reasons and mainly, their clothes are all made from recycled water bottles as they are dedicated to sustainability and protecting the environment. Not only that, they use natural ingredients to dye their fabrics making it a cleaner option than other brands. They’re also made locally in Los Angeles! And don’t be fooled, you can have your cake and eat it to with this brand. Their clothing is top quality and comfortable, rivaling even Lululemon.
