the sustainable (and responsible) gift guide

we’re all ready to get our holiday shopping on early this year & save .. honestly through the entire month as BFCM gets longer & longer!

i wanted to make it easier to shop from sustainable brands with this official “no-size” gift guide ahead of holiday sales.

these brands have sustainable and responsible business practices, and i know they’d make great gifts because these are all products i’ve tried / would love to receive …

Atmo Home | has perfected a non-toxic candle with sustainable and affordable refills.

• The woody santal fragrance ($60) is my favorite, but I’m excited to try the limited edition petrichor fragrance ($64) while it’s in season. I adore the silver vessel, and it can continue to be refilled with any fragrance.

Primally Pure | is most known for their ethical non-vegan beauty products, and their business practices are also regenerative.

• I adore the air-purifying beeswax candles and plan to gift the holiday candle ($46) often. This holiday home collection ($138) is also a great gift, and includes the best non-toxic room spray ($36).

Flamingo Estate | is a lifestyle brand founded by Richard Christiansen with local products made in collaboration with SoCal farmers.

• This personalized candle ($92) could make for a thoughtful, forever vessel. I loved The Guide to Becoming Alive ($50), or gift the bookworm set ($110) to set the mood (or coffee table).

Curio Blvd | was founded by interior designer Chelsey Brown. She speaks on her podcast about supply chain transparency and her experience manufacturing home decor.

• I love this ‘coffee book’ photo album ($100) as a meaningful home decor gift, or invest in the lockable heirloom keepsake box ($280) that’s meant to be passed down for generations.

evolvetogether | has mastered non-toxic daily essentials “crafted for people and the planet.” They primarily use aluminum or glass to package their products, which is more easily (and forever) recyclable.

• I’d love to gift this hand care starter set ($74) as the hand soap refills can be purchased later in any fragrance. The on-the-go essentials set ($70) is also a great deal with best-selling, travel-sized items, plus the hand sanitizer ($40) is also refillable.

Unhide | sells cozy home goods with over half of their cruelty-free vegan fur being recycled. They also have a great branded resale collection to support reuse.

• This marshmallow blanket ($249) is so soft and comes in gorgeous colors. I also love their donut dog bed ($229) or this precious baby blanket ($49) for the perfect niche gift for new mamas (yes, including dogs).

Bearaby | was founded by Dr. Kathrin Hamm to support deeper sleep cycles naturally. They use sustainable materials and are Plastic Negative Certified via rePurpose Global.

• This knit weighted blanket ($199) is incredible, or invest in the knit weighted cooling blanket ($249) for hot sleepers. I love all of the weighted plushies, but both of my sisters chose the dinosaur ($99) as their favorite!

Parachute Home | understands sustainability across people, product, and the planet. They’re working to take their business circular in addition to other brand commitments.

• I love the simplicity of these slipper ($49) and gifting with the cloud cotton robe ($129) would make for an easy matching set. I also love the striped slippers ($59) for a fun but timeless style.

Ugg | produces ethical product made with recycled, renewable, regenerated, and certified preferred materials. They also understand sustainability across people, product, and the planet.

• I adore these easy slip-ons ($125) as a chic, but durable house slipper. Or gift the classic micro ($150) in black, grey, chocolate, or chestnut, and it’s a forever gift — slip details of UggRenew into the gift box!

Crown Affair, Nécessaire & Saie | are within Steibel and can be read here.

• I love this affordable refresh ritual ($49) by Crown Affair, and it’s a great introduction to the brand. I also plan to gift the incredible air-dry ritual ($75) because the hair towel is my favorite!

• The Nécessaire body wash discovery set ($48) makes for such a fun gift, or try their newly launched non-toxic perfume ($60) in their best-selling fragrance.

• Saie’s lip gloss oil holiday set ($30) is incredible, and using this red vanity case ($45) as a gifting vessel would be perfectly sustainable.

Krave Beauty | is a Korean skincare brand focused on simple and sustainable product. They’re B Corp (learn more), Climate Neutral Certified (learn more), and Plastic Neutral Certified via RePurpose Global.

• This is a universal serum ($28) and helps to protect the skin barrier, or gift the matcha cleanser and award-winning, non-comedogenic sunscreen ($20).

Dieux | sells skincare products that are clinically backed, and they’re transparent regarding cruelty-free ingredients and sustainability.

• The glow gospel set ($72) is a great deal with a three-in-one serum and a moisturizer that gets me through the winter. This eye revival duo ($62) is also incredible, and the eye mask is forever reusable!

S’ABLE Labs | is a melanin-inclusive skincare brand formulated specifically to target hyperpigmentation. They’re a B Corp and thoughtfully source raw materials to ensure an ethical and sustainable supply chain.

• This travel-size essentials kit ($48) is the perfect introduction to the three-step skincare routine, or gift the core collection ($110) with full-sized products and a clear bamboo cosmetic bag.

Bare Hands | has reinvented a notion of nail care that’s clean. They work to reduce the amount of nail polish bottles that are discarded annually (toxic waste).

• The dry gloss mani kit ($42) is a game-changer, especially as bare nails are making a comeback. I’d also love this french mani kit ($70) if that was my salon go-to.

Henry Rose | formulates incredible non-toxic fragrances with full ingredient transparency. They’re EWG Verified, Cradle to Cradle, and cruelty-free certified.

• This full collection discovery set ($45) would be the perfect introduction to the brand, and it comes with $20 off their first full-size fragrance. It’s a gift that keeps on giving!

Atelier Saucier | sells beautiful table linens that are sustainably-sourced, rescued, repurposed, and locally made in their LA studio.

• I love the color of the chroma napkins ($128), and proceeds help support farmers using regenerative practices. Or invest in the chroma set ($238), which also includes cocktail napkins and a wooden napkin holder.

Thanks for reading, and happy holidays!
