The act of gifting – if we have the privilege and pleasure of being able to purchase presents – doesn’t have to resort to an overwhelming Black Friday bonanza.
Shopping small(er) and with more awareness can make a big difference if we choose meaningful, conscious gifts.
By making a few simple and impactful intentions, commitments, and shifts, we support not only our community and the economy, but also the wellbeing of our bodies, minds, and planet.
We can even explore choosing unique wrapping (reuse newspaper / last year’s boxes!), crafting handmade gifts, making donations to empowering organizations, and offering memorable experiences in lieu of material items.
When we take a bit more time and make an effort to seek and choose more eco-conscious options over more convenient ones, we’ll find a plethora of them – from clothing and furniture, to kitchen and office supplies.
I’ve included a few of my personal favorites – plus some brands I’ve had my eye on. I welcome any and all new discoveries – I know I am barely skimming the surface here.
If you’d like to gift a wellness session, you can peruse my offerings for yoga + meditation, health coaching, and virtual yoga classes of various lengths + levels 🙂
This free holiday ebook I curated in 2016 might also give you some delicious, nourishing recipe ideas – thanks to contributions from a few wonderful women.
Enjoy caring for your beloved loved ones and our beloved Mother Nature by gifting / giving more consciously.
Wishing you all a glorious season of gratitude. Take good care!
