2022 Conscious Living Holiday Gift Guide
We are quickly approaching the holiday season and gifting is inevitable. I’ve tried to be more conscious about the types of gifts I purchase for others and support local, handmade and responsibly run companies and much as possible. I’ve put together this season’s gift guide based on the principle of gifting better and more consciously BUT making sure that the gifts are still things that people would actually want. Many of these items I have actually purchased for myself and are made by companies with the mission of making better products and supporting ethical and sustainable manufacturing processes.
