Do you hear that? The distant sounds of sleigh bells ringing, and that only means one thing - it’s time to get out your naughty and nice list, and start slaying that shopping list. Lucky for you, we’ve rounded up the ultimate gift guide for the discerning conscious shopper. The holiday season is all about giving, and if you’re to part with your dollar, we want to help you feel good (read: guilt-free) about where it’s going.

How did we choose? Well we’ve picked only brands that we love, with philosophies that are aligned with ours – those who are consciously giving a sh*t about our planet, health and other human and animal friends – and making that part of their entire brand ethos. Not only that, we’ve picked out everything that tick our boxes in terms of being unique, eco-friendly, well-made, ethical, vegan, and cruelty-free.

These gifts will be sure to wow without breaking the bank, and won’t end up at the back of someone’s closet and never be seen again - AKA the Xmas gifts graveyard. So here you go, the holiday gift list that keeps on giving.

Captain Blankenship - From $28 (International shipping)

This small women-run company based in the Hudson River Valley focuses on making products from organic and wild-harvested ingredients that are domestically grown when possible.

We particularly love their limited edition Mermaid Magic Sea Salt Shimmer Spray gift set for only $28. Steal.

Joco Cups, from $25.95 (International shipping)

With 58 billion paper cups (not including sleeves and plastic lids) thrown away every year and not recycled, Mother Nature is royally pissed off, and we don’t blame her. Joco Cups are lightweight, stylish and comes in a variety of gorgeous pastel colors that we have trouble choosing just one, so we’ll just get the whole lot thanks. If that doesn’t convince you, coffee lovers out there can agree with us that coffee (and tea), tastes a helluva lot better in a glass than a styrofoam/plastic/paper cup.

Handmade in small batches in British Columbia, Canada, these bath bars are beautiful and smells heavenly.

The perfect gift especially if you get invited along for the soak. Bonus: A portion of proceeds go towards Sea Legacy.

Friends don’t let their friends use products with SLS.

Luxuriate in these ethically sourced and produced Egyptian Cotton clothing for him and her. The idea behind this brand is farm to table - but for clothes, and nothing too fancy here. They’re all about simple, everyday basics, that feels super soft on the skin, yet are also made accessible so you don’t have to be Cleopatra level royalty to afford these luxurious threads.
