2018 Conscious Shopping Holiday Guide

This year one of my shopping goals was to shop consciously. Every single choice we make has an impact. I wanted to make sure that the impact I was making was aligning.

I pulled together some of my favorite gifts this year!

TenTree

This brand popped up on my Instagram feed and have been grateful ever since. The reason I fell in love with the brand is because they plant 10 trees for EVERY item purchased. You can even decide what your trees will impact (land, air, sea). In addition, their Bamone pants are the most comfortable lounge pants I own. I gifted them to my sister a few weeks early and we joke that we haven’t been without them for more than 12 hours at a time.

Rothy’s

The plastic situation is a huge issue, so any brand that is finding creative ways to reduce this waste gets my vote. Rothy’s makes fashion forward footwear out of recycled plastic bottles.

Cuddle and Kind

My brother is expecting his first child any day now, and so I have been searching for the perfect present. The Cuddle and Kind stuffed animals are ethically produced, fair trade, and each doll gives 10 meals to a hungry child!

Shop Small

If you know of a local business supporting the small guys is my favorite way to go! This year I am shopping mom and pop stores over Amazon, supporting my friends businesses, and more. Here are a few ways to do this: A Hungry Hippie gift card for the vegan in your life, A massage or 1:1 session with Valisha at my favorite wellness spot Remedy 11, a training package at your local gym.

Anima Mundi

This is one of my favorite Herbal Brands. I use the vegan collagen, the Blue Lotus tea, and the Immunity Blend almost every day and they are amazing products. If you have a friend into herbal remedies this is the perfect place to shop!

Thrive Market Membership

Thrive Market is an online Costco for all things sustainable, organic and non-GMO. Thrive also donates a membership to a family in need for every yearly subscription purchased. A yearly membership costs about $60 and is a great gift for a foodie friend!

Happy Shopping!
