61 Ethical Gift Ideas for Your Loved Ones (Including Yourself)

Christmas is coming fast, eh? Full disclosure: I haven’t even started buying my presents. Oops. If the Monica Geller in you is going crazy at the thought of my procrastination, DON’T WORRY. Jojo’s got it under control. We’re doing a gift exchange in my family and my boyfriend’s, so technically, I only have two gifts to find. And let say that after putting this gift guide together, my inspiration is at an all-time high.  

So, what will you find in this list of amazing gifts? First, I decided to focus on my three areas of expertise: fashion, beauty, and home. I could have gone in multiple directions (like tech, wellness, pet accessories, etc.), but limiting myself allowed me to go deeper into each category and hence, give you more thought-out gift ideas. Secondly and most importantly, all the products mentioned are from ethical companies, mostly Canadian.

So, there you go! I hope you’ll find beautiful things for all the precious people around you. And don’t forget to treat yourself with a you-to-you gift in the process. Somethings tells me you deserve it ;) 

Happy holidays everyone!
