Still looking for the perfect gift for the special women in your lives this Holiday Season? The Wellness Feed Gift Guide for Her features some of our favorite brands and products we’ve slipped on, written about, and reviewed this year. They’re the softest organic cotton basics, sparkling ethically sourced gems, and clean beauty picks in refillable or recyclable packaging. These are items we love and hope you’ll love so much you’ll want to share with the women you adore in your lives too.
We’re nearly a month away from Christmas and a week from one of the biggest sales of the year. This season, we’re helping readers give the gift of beautiful treats consciously chosen from ethically made, B-Corp, Fair Trade, and sustainable brands. Just like the big brands they’re having sales too (up to 50% off). But, unlike mainstream fast brands, these brands consciously take initiatives to reduce waste, pollution, and CO2 emissions. That could mean using upcycled materials for dresses to avoid using new materials or organic cotton for denim dyed in facilities that recycle water, or collaborating with factories in regions close to the source material. A lot of these brands also partner with factories to pay living wages and benefits, and give back to organizations and nonprofits working towards making meaningful changes in society.
Still, shopping for the perfect gifts for your mom, sister, or best friend? You’ll love this gift guide for her full of thoughtfully chosen picks the women in your lives will treasure now and for years to come. Happy gifting!
