Holiday season is on it’s way, and we’re getting an early start this season to allow for extended shipping times as we move most of our shopping online. It’s one of my yearly delights to browse around and seek out unique and memorable gift ideas that align, not just with my aesthetic, but also with my passions for sustainability and wellbeing.
I know finding “the perfect gift” is often at the top of people’s minds each year, but this year, let’s all agree to shift focus. I’m choosing to focus on gifts that not only look fantastic, but also come from responsible sources, and enhance the recipient’s wellness. And above all, I am placing my emphasis this year on gratitude.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to give. The chance to show people that I care. I am grateful to receive, and committed to putting focus on the generosity and thought behind the gifts I receive, rather than the gift itself.
With the goodness of sustainability, wellness, gratitude, and generosity in mind, I am happy to share my top picks for holiday gifts this year, by price range!
