Holiday Gift Guide 2020
There’s no doubt that this will be a holiday season like no other. It’s been a bloody rough year, and because this year has been over-the-top bizarre, taking care of ourselves and our loved ones has never been more important. Since we can’t have fun at holiday events, big family gatherings, and out at restaurants, we need to find ways to practice good self-care and enjoy ourselves at home and outdoors, even in bad weather.
These are a few of my favorite gift and stocking stuffer ideas to make your gifting a little easier. I hope you and yours stay healthy and enjoy the holidays in every way possible this year!
Evening Kingdom Puzzle by - $25
Puzzles are a fun project to do with family and they can be a very stress relieving, zen activity. This beautiful puzzle with artwork by Japanes artist Sanae Sugimoto will also look beautiful on your table top.
Papa Rozier Farms Eyelash & Brow Growth Serum - $22
This is the perfect stocking stuffer for someone who wants thicker, fuller lashes and brows but doesn’t want all the nasty chemicals and irritating ingredients found in nearly all lash growth serums. This formulation made with only pure castor & moringa oils infused with rosemary is the healthy way to get longer, thicker, fuller lashes and brows. Papa Roziers’ organic Castor Oil of Haiti is also a wonderful product and great gift option at $18-100.
Anima Mundi Apothecary Master Longevity Kit - Portable Pharmacy - $177
My friends and regular clients know that I’m obsessed with Anima Mundi Apothecary products, and this kit is no exception. The Curam Elixir is an anti-aging beauty elixir, the Collagen Booster Elixir supports skin, bone, and tissue strength, and the Viridem Elixir is a detoxifier and mineralizer. The Soma Elixir contains immune supportive mushrooms for natural defense, while the Euphoria Elxir helps boost your mojo and create feelings of euphoria and love. The Dream Elixir has a calming effect and promotes lucid dreaming. Yes, please!
Noize Vic Puffer - $238
I own this in black and it is honestly the warmest, best coat I’ve ever owned. The quality is excellent and you can feel good about that fact that no geese were plucked in the making of this coat! Noize is a Canadian company founded on the belief that what we wear today should not only look and feel great but should also champion positive contributions towards a better tomorrow. All materials used in their products are PETA-Approved vegan and the fill in these coats is made of recycled water bottles. I think this white one is dreamy but the steel color is my other fave.
Côte 6 Piece Traveler Set - $42
Nail polish is one of the more toxic beauty products, but all of Côte’s polishes and treatments are free of the major toxins often associated with nail polish. This means you get all the chip-resistant, long lasting shine without sacrificing your health. I almost never go through an entire full sized bottle of polish so I love this set of minis in 6 chic colors. And when we can finally travel again, these will be the perfect size to throw in your toiletry case.
Kari Gran Essential Cleansing Oil & Luxe Exfoliating Washcloth Bundle - $56.10
This luxurious cleansing oil is one of my all-time favorite clean beauty products. The gentle exfoliating washcloth is the perfect addition for a relaxing cleansing ritual and this set is sure to please even the most discriminating skincare lover.
Tony’s Snow Joe Winter Blend Coffee - $13
Tony’s Coffee is roasted right here in Bellingham, WA and are fair trade, organic and shade grown. This is a great, affordable gift for anyone you’d like to share a little local flavor with. Even the label is designed by local Bellingham artist Jess Bonin. They’re also offering holiday bundles with options to add a super cute retro enamel mug and/or a Tony’s beanie ($25-40).
KMS On Demand Subscription - $29.99/mo
Cat and Chau Le of Krav Maga Seattle have created this great option for home workouts and you’ll learn real self-defense while getting a killer workout! These two and their whole team are such great people and it’s so fun to feel like a badass after a workout! And don’t worry, they have plenty of options that use body weight only, so you don’t need to invest in or have the space for bulky equipment.
Beauty Heroes Subscription - from $58.95/mo
Beauty Heroes is not a sample beauty box; it’s a healthy beauty discovery service. In each monthly box you will receive: One Hero product and ‘Sidekick’ trial or full-size, each valued at least $100, and often much more. Each of the products must meet their Ingredient Standard, the most stringent in the beauty industry as we screen ingredients to ensure that they are good for people AND safe for the planet. Members also receive a 15% discount on almost all products in our Beauty Store, insider exclusives and early access to new product launches.
Molekule Air Mini+ - $399 (with Black Friday sale)
This chic little PECO air purifier PECO is small but mighty. Developed over 25 years by research scientists, PECO is an innovative technology that utilizes free radicals—the same radicals used to destroy cancer cells—to break down pollutants at a molecular level, including VOCs, bacteria, mold, viruses, and allergens. By using nanotechnology, PECO is able to destroy pollutants 1000 times smaller than the standard filters must meet to qualify as HEPA. Many air purifiers are big eyesores, but this beautifully designed unit is a great, easily portable addition to any room.
Ettitude Organic Bamboo Sheet Set - from $168
These silky sheets are made with 100% organic bamboo. Organic bamboo sustainable, hypoallergenic, free from harmful chemicals and ideal for sensitive skin.
Ōura Ring - $299-999
The Ōura Ring tracks key signals from your body, providing you with personalized Readiness, Sleep, and Activity scores each day based on your baselines. This sleek, stylish ring is a much more comfortable option if like me, you hate sleeping with a watch style tracker on.
Jacuzzi Clearlight Infrared Sauna - starting at $3600 with 0% financing
Yes, this one is an investment, but trust me, it’s a really good one! Infrared saunas are incredible for pain and stress relief, healing, and detoxification. All Clearlight Infrared Sauna® models offer the lowest and safest EMF and ELF levels of any infrared sauna on the market and are made from the Western Red Canadian Cedar or North American Basswood.
