What to Get This Holiday Season

Here's the thing about holiday shopping: it doesn't have to be stressful.

We spent weeks pulling together this guide—testing products, narrowing down options, choosing only what we'd actually give to people we love. The result? A thoughtful, intentional collection of gifts that won't end up in the back of a closet.

These aren't just things. They're basics that get used every day. Beauty products made with ingredients you can feel good about. Art supplies that actually inspire creativity. And yes, a few indulgences—because sometimes the best gifts are the ones people wouldn't buy for themselves.

For the Basics They'll Actually Wear

Let's start with ours: our Starter Sets for girls and boys. Simple, elevated essentials made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton in Portugal. The kind of pieces kids reach for over and over—soft, durable, and designed to last. They make gifting easy (and clutter-free).

For the Stylish Little One

Mon Coeur does sustainable kidswear beautifully. We're especially loving their Recycled Cotton Snowy Pine Sweatshirt and Jogger  (both on sale right now!) —cozy, festive, and soft enough for all-day wear.

For the Kids Who Need to Move

The Figgy Play Couch—our answer to the play couch craze, but better. Velcro connectors for endless configurations (fort, slide, obstacle course—you name it). Waterproof, machine-washable covers because spills happen. FiggyFoam that's strong enough to stack and soft enough to crash into. Toxin-free materials, hidden zippers, and made in the USA. It's the kind of gift that gets used every single day—and gives you back your regular couch.

For Natural Beauty Lovers

ILIA's Limitless Lash Mascara is one of those rare mascaras that's clean and performs. No harsh chemicals, recyclable packaging, and it actually works. A solid everyday staple.

For something more indulgent, Tata Harper's Cream Blush is nutrient-rich, beautifully pigmented, and blends like a dream. A Vermont-born, female-founded brand doing luxury skincare the right way.

For the Mini Beauty Lover

Evereden's Barbie Set is adorable—safe, gentle, and designed with fun in mind. It's the kind of starter beauty gift that feels special without being overwhelming, perfect for kids who want to be just like the grown-ups.

For Teens

Evereden's Ultimate Preppy Girl Set has everything—clean skincare, body care, and lip balm in one beautifully packaged gift. It's the kind of set that feels indulgent without being over the top, perfect for the teen who's starting to care about what goes on their skin.

For New Moms

Pioupiou Cosmetics' Mama Gift Set is thoughtful, luxurious, and made for postpartum skin. Clean formulas that actually work, packaged beautifully—because new moms deserve to feel taken care of too.

For Babies (and New Parents)

Our Little Treasures' Santa and Gingerbread Pocketpals are impossibly cute—soft, safe, and the kind of keepsake that gets passed down. Perfect for baby's first holiday or as a thoughtful gift for new parents who appreciate quality over clutter.

For the Creative

Smilogy makes handmade art supplies with natural ingredients, and their beeswax crayons are a standout. They come in fun shapes (we're obsessed with the crayon leaves), making them easy to tailor to whoever you're gifting.

For the Clutter-Free Gift

Sometimes the best gift isn't a thing—it's a subscription. Three Little Plums for anyone curious about non-toxic living. Ecocult for deep dives into everyday toxins. And The Isolation Journals for prompts on meditation and mindfulness.

We hope this makes your holiday shopping a little easier—and a lot more intentional.
