‘Tis the season for giving. Below, you’ll find a curated list of sustainable, thoughtful, and beautiful gifts. These are items from small shops and businesses, with an emphasis on womxn-owned, Black-owned, and Indingenous-owned companies. From meaningful items that provide fair employment, to handmade jewelry that supports non-profits, these are gifts that keep on giving.
When possible, I encourage you to shop local and shop small. At the same time, I understand that is not feasible for everyone. In the very least, I encourage you to give gifts that leave a lasting impact, like buying fair trade coffee or chocolate. This year, if you’re hoping to expand your gift giving to those beyond your immediate family, consider making a donation to a non-profit, like Soul Fire Farm or World Central Kitchen.
