Holiday Gift Guide 2020
I finally have gotten around to rounding up a list of some of my favorite companies and products to gift this holiday season! I always like to share a gift guide for all of you so you can have products that you know are made with clean ingredients and also sustainably made. I love supporting local and businesses I know are doing good in this world. Now more than ever I believe it is important to support companies other than Amazon this holiday. Yes it takes more time, but this is also why I like to share a gift guide with you to hopefully make life a little easier on your end. I wish I could list every company I love but it's just not possible in a newsletter so here are some of my top choices that I hope you all will also love!! Many of these companies are having sales or will be this week for Black Friday so keep that in mind!
PIQUE TEA ODE TO TEA GIFT BOX
Who wouldn't love this All-in-one music box, tea caddy, and flight of teas. A sensory journey around the planet— and beyond. I have been a fan of Pique tea for a long time now. The company triple toxin screens their teas for heavy metals, pesticides, radiation, and mold and mycotoxins so you can be confident you are ingesting the highest quality tea. Pique Tea is also much higher in antioxidant and polyphenol content than regular tea because it comes in tea crystals compared to tea bags which makes it more concentrated.
RASA IMMUNE ELDERBERRY BUNDLE
What a perfect gift this bundle of immune supporting tonics and a gorgeous hand crafted mug makes for anyone of your gifting list or for gifting yourself. We also could all use immune support during the winter season and this pandemic. You can choose a Large or Small size bundle. the large bundle includes: 8oz Elderberry Boost Rasa
Cold’s Cocktail
Mullein
Diop Ivy Purple Mask
Ceramic Mug in Strawberries and Cream
Adaptogenic 7 Mushroom Immortality
I first discovered Rasa when I took a trip to Boulder a few years ago and I was going through some strict health protocols for my hormones so I was not doing any coffee. The Rasa original blend quickly became my morning ritual. The blend is full of adaptogens, medicinal mushrooms, and liver supporting herbs so works to balance out your hormones and support your overall wellness. This is a local business to Colorado and also woman owned!! All of the RASA products are third party tested and only use organic sustainably harvested herbs.
PRIMALLY PURE:
GUA SHA+ RIGGED FACE ROLLER SET
PALO SANTO COLLECTION
Both of these sets make the most beautiful gifts that will enhance anyones self care and wellness! Last year I purchased the Gua Sha Stone and Quartze Face Roller from Primally Pure and both tools quickly became part of my daily skincare routine. Pair this set with one of the Beautycounter Face Oils and you will have the ultimate skincare gift! The practice of facial Gua Sha and facial rolling will stimulate blood flow to the skin, decrease puffiness, stimulate collagen production, help to smooth out fine lines and will lift your skin by stimulating the facial muscles.
The Palo Santo is a blend of sacred wood essential oils with hints of sweet vanilla and herbal smoke that inspire serenity, purity and peace. I often light a Palo Santo stick while I take a bath for the grounding and calming affects. I also will light a stick to cleanse the air and bring positive energy to a space. This collection includes:
Aromatherapy/Essential Oil Roller
Aromatherapy Mist
Palo Santo Sticks
AGENT NATEUR HOLI BATH
This is currently my most FAVORITE bath product. This milk bath will give you the most luxurious bath experience and it smells amazing!! The blend includes nourishing coconut milk, soothing salts, and nurturing plant extracts was formulated to relax your body and transform your skin. Enriched with tension-releasing natural minerals and organic compounds that soothe, soften, repair, and hydrate, holi (bath) renews from the inside out. And of course NO TOXIC ingredients!!
ROTHY'S SHOES
Shoes made from water bottles!! Yes seriously when a friend first shared this company I was pretty excited and wanted try these shoes out! I own a pair of the sneakers in grey camouflage and they are the most comfy shoes! I love this eco-conscious company because they only use eco-friendly materials and have sustainable manufacturing workshop. Their signature thread is made from plastic water bottles and they also use a bio-based algae strobel boards (aka the spot under the insoles). The shoes are also super cute and they also have a kids line!! So far the company has used 71,049,893 plastic water bottles to make shoes and the number goes up daily. You can learn more about the companies sustainibilty efforts and materials used HERE
SUPPER ATTRACTOR CARD DECK
SPIRIT JUNKIE CARD DECK
I'm a true Gabby Bernstein fan. Her books have helped me tremendously and I recently bought myself these cards. I start my day with picking 1-2 cards to help guide me. We all can use some uplifting and positivity in our lives and these cards will do that which is why I have them on my gift guide. Never underestimate how are day can be shifted with a positive message. the decks I currently own are:
NOONDAY
If you are looking to gift jewelry or accessories check out this company. Noonday is a B corporation that partners with Artisans in underprivileged areas around the world and help develop these businesses through fair trade practices , empowering them to grow sustainably and to create dignified jobs for people who need them. All pieces are hand made representing Artisans all around the world which makes each piece so special and unique. You are changing lives when you shop Noonday and supporting a small businesses of a fellow friend of mine and mama ( Julie) who's link I have share here. I know Noonday always has Black Friday sales.
My favorite clean beauty brand for all the things. I’ve been using these products for over 4 years now and my skin is extremely happy! They recently updates their Never List to include over 1800 ingredients they ban. This expanded from 1500 recently. The company also performs 3rd party testing on all of their makeup multiple times on every single batch and the majority of their products areEWG certified and ingredients are suitably sourced. I love that this company was the first beauty company I know of that can be 100% transparent on their source of Mica never being 100% free of child labor and fair trade. The transparency, safety, and ingredient selection of this company blows my away!! Now through November 29th you can snag almost everything for 15% off sale. There are lots of beautiful holiday sets to choose from and you can't ever go wrong with clean beauty.
This is one of my favorite supplement brands that my family and I use daily and I share often over on my Instagram page. . Olivia is an herbalist that uses the best quality herbs. She has so many options available including a kids line which my kids personally use. My family also uses the Immune Shroom daily and I love her probiotic and Liver Juice! She recently came out with a Zinc Supplement , Microbiome Tincture and an Immune Supporting Tea. All three of these were inspired from hours of her own research when her parents came down early on with COVID 19. I know the Tea is sold out but will be available for pre-order during her Black Friday sale 20% off site wide Friday 11/27 so don’ miss out on that. Take advantage to stock up and also know you are supporting a small business.
I hope you all have a beautiful Thanksgiving full of love and light and are all staying healthy. I hope you enjoy this year's Gift Guide!
xoxo,
Mary
