Hi pals! Now you KNOW I’m the best gift giver, so I like to do a roundup of gift ideas for you guys because I’m the nicest most helpful. Here’s my roundup for 2016!
For ~fashion~ People:
These cute post earrings from Ethos Collection are not only ~fashion~ but for every pair bought, 7 meals are provided to children in need. PLUS Ethos Collection donates a portion of proceeds to micro-lending org Kiva! And priced at a reasonable $32.
For Warm-Hearted Coffee-Lovers:
We’ve written about Grounds for Hounds before, and now they sent us their newest flavor to try, Sit & Stay, and we’re loving it! It’s 100{ae720e0b436026f867bfa0c31185c2252a138f27e85f5f152ec5acc1c10a8cc9} Fair Trade and Organic Certified PLUS “20{ae720e0b436026f867bfa0c31185c2252a138f27e85f5f152ec5acc1c10a8cc9} of all proceeds received by Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. will be donated to our rescue partner located closest to you.” So not only is the coffee super delish, every time your giftee has a cup, they can be happy they’re helping save dogs!
For the Hip Acquaintance You Want to Impress:
This isn’t just a vegan candle, it has a gold horsy on it!!!! You can get it on Made Fair for $23.99 and it promises to smell like “beach bonfire; smoky firewood enveloped with scents of the beach, including warm sand, sea spray, salt, jasmine and mandarin.” HUBBA HUBBA! And the candle is made with 100{ae720e0b436026f867bfa0c31185c2252a138f27e85f5f152ec5acc1c10a8cc9} sustainable soy wax, recycled US pine wood wicks, US made jars, and vegan fragrances. NOICE!
For bbs:
“Eat Your Veggies” soft cotton rattles from Little Market! The full set is $78 but you could spring for individual ones on there instead for $12 a pop. These are super cute and it would be funny like “lol the vegan gave my bb vegetable rattles lololol vegans.” PLUS “each rattle empowers female artisans at Pebble in Bangladesh.”
For the Comfort-lover:
This sweatshirt is sleek and looks super duper comfy. On top of that, “this good provides fair-wage jobs and empowerment for women in Uganda and Peru.” YAY! You can get it for $68 at Society B, a super-cool shop that’s all fair-trade and donates 10{ae720e0b436026f867bfa0c31185c2252a138f27e85f5f152ec5acc1c10a8cc9} of all sales (not just profits) to their partner organization of your choosing.
For Chic Homey Pals:
I’m loving this basket from Fair Trade Winds–it’s made from recycled telephone wires! There are many sizes, shapes and colors but I’m partial to this small basket with the beige on grey. It’s $39 and I do love a dish to keep by the door; otherwise I’d lose my keys every day and my change would fall out of my pockets at night and embed in the rug. FML.
For the Jewish Cat in Your Life:
My cats love EVERY toy I get them from Fido the Cat! And the store is so nice and sends surprise prezzies sometimes. They also have cat toys for every holiday–like, ahem, this cutie dreidel! And unlike a lot of cat toys I see on Etsy, Fido the Cat toys are made with 100{ae720e0b436026f867bfa0c31185c2252a138f27e85f5f152ec5acc1c10a8cc9} polyester eco-felt and not wool. Plus the catnip is organic; Yay for environmentally-friendly kitties!
For Your Fave Coworkers:
I can’t explain how much I love Hurraw! lip balm. Like, idk what I can say. They are THE BEST! They’re all vegan, organic, and with so many fun scents, they’re all awesome! These lil guys would make the best stocking stuffers!
For the Vegans:
What do vegans love more than eating at vegan restaurants? NOT A DAMN THING. Many of us are also anti-waste, making experiential gifts a great idea. So a really great pres for the vegans in your life would be a gift card to a fancy vegan restaurant! Or a not fancy vegan restaurant! I’m just saying we love food! Sage Bistro has gift cards, Vedge has gift cards, Modern Love has gift cards, even Cinnaholic says you can get gift cards at their locations!
That’s all for this year, my friends! Happy holidays!
