I had a lot of fun putting this one together. I hope you find it helpful when creating your holiday shopping list for others as well as your own wish list!
1. Athleta Pranayama Restore Wrap or Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Island Wrap – You can’t go wrong with either of these brands. Barefoot Dreams is a little pricier but oh so soft. I already own the Athleta wrap in a retired plum color, but I modeled the Hermatite Grey color at a breast cancer charity fashion show in October and loved it! It’s going to be on my wish list this year for sure.
2. Kendra Scott Necklace – I have given and received Kendra Scott necklaces as gifts in the past because they are so simple and classy and there’s always great sales during the holidays. You can easily find something under $50 like this Ari Heart Gold Pendant Necklace in Rose Quartz, but one I really like is this simple Beaded Satellite Chain Necklace in 18k Gold Vermeil.
3. Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag – These bags are all the rage…so much so that even the sales associates are wearing them while they work. š They safely hold all the essentials while keeping your hands free.
4. Beautycounter Triple Quench Body Butter Set – I always like to put lotions on gift-giving list because who doesn’t love a good lotion? With this Beautycounter set, you know you are buying high-quality, non-toxic products but they also smell yummy. And this set can easily be divided into multiple gifts or stocking stuffers. Use code “CLEANFORALL20” for 20% off your first order.
5. Makeup brushes and eye shadow palette – Do not underestimate a good set of makeup brushes. If you are still using the little sponge applicator that comes with an eyeshadow palette, or the built in sponge disk in a compact, please stop and invest in a set of good brushes. You won’t regret it. š This Brush Up + Shine Set by Thrive Causmetics is perfect (and here’s a $10 off). And why not pair it with clean, talc-free eyeshadow like this Essentials Eye Palette by Beautycounter.
6. Pajamas – I love a good set of cozy pajamas, and both of these brands are organic and eco-friendly. The Cozy Earth Long Sleeve Bamboo Pajama Set is a luxurious set, or for a more economically-friendly set, there’s the Pact All Ease Sleep Pant and All Ease Sleep Long Sleeve Top (also comes in a short sleeve and this link will give you 20% off your first purchase).
7. Hyggelight The Growing Candle – I love this candle because it’s a 2-for-1. It comes packaged with a label on the outside that is embedded with the seeds of wildflowers. So once the wax is gone, you fill the candle holder with soil and plant the label. It’s a candle, it’s a beautiful pot of flowers. But not only is it sustainable, it is 100% soy and free from petroleum, and the scent is a non-toxic fragrance oil. Win, win, win.
8. Walking Pad – Working from home has made me a lot more sedentary than I have ever been in my life. But if I could conveniently walk while I work? That’s the ideal, healthy, multi-tasking activity! Amazon has an overwhelming number of these, but I liked the reviews, features and dimensions of this one.
9. Theragun Mini – I’ve had this on gift guides before because I love ours. We have both a full size Theragun and a mini. I really like the mini because it’s portable and easier to hold. Plus the price point is a lot more appealing (not to mention this desert rose color!).
10. Thrive Causemetics Eyeliner + Mascara + Brilliant Eye Brightener™ Set – If I had to pick my 3 absolute favorite Thrive Causemetic products, these 3 would be at the top of my list….and Thrive put them all together in a gift set! The mascara is hands-down the best mascara I have ever used (and don’t forget this $10 off referral link). I also forgot to mention that the greatest thing about Thrive Causemetics is they have a Giving Partner program and for every product that is purchased, Thrive donates product to one of its giving partners. This is how my own breast cancer charity has received donations from Thrive to include in our patient care bags. So when you buy from Thrive, you are giving in return.
11. Pura Home or Car Scents – I recently discovered this brand of products and now I am hooked. I want our house to smell good but I know a lot of the conventional ways to scent a home (candles and plug-ins) are filled with chemicals. So after some research, I found Pura. Pura scents are eco-friendly and made “without acetaldehyde, diclorobenzene, ethylhexanol, formaldehyde, GMOs, methyl pyrrolidone, parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, styrene, or animal testing.” But what’s really cool about it is it’s a smart plug-in. It operates via an app which allows you to turn the diffuser on and off remotely or you can set a daily schedule that alternates between 2 scent vials. So it’s a set and forget it product that keeps my home smelling great all day long. And Pura makes a car diffuser as well that definitely beats the toxic, headache-inducing, hanging trees. I can think of at least one person on my list who is getting the car diffuser!
Happy Shopping!
