Anyone else on a mission to crush it as the best gift giver ever—all while sticking to a budget, avoiding throwaway junk, and nailing that “I didn’t even know I wanted this” moment for your loved ones? Same.
It's gift-giving season, and it’s not always easy to pick the perfect present. But when we think about wellness, it’s not just about physical health; it’s about looking at life holistically. Every purchase you make is a reflection of your values, a vote for what you believe in. By buying from small, thoughtful businesses—many of which give back—you’re not only spreading joy but also improving the health of our communities and the planet. So, why not give gifts that actually matter this year?
Here’s the ultimate guide to meaningful, feel-good gifts from small, mostly women-owned businesses that are making a positive impact on the world around us. Oh, and these gifts? They’re awesome. You’ll officially earn your Best Gift Giver of the Year title.
For your mom: A hand-crafted bag from Rellebee. These bags are the epitome of mindful craftsmanship. Made from ethically sourced hides in small batches to minimize waste, they’re stylish, durable, and show what it means to truly respect materials.
For your dad: A pair of Glerups Slippers. I can’t overstate this: these slippers are so warm and comfortable, they’ll turn your dad into a slipper evangelist. Trust me, he’s going to love them.
For your sister: Jewelry from Nicole at Sweetpeas & Gypsies. Nicole’s rings and necklaces are absolutely stunning, you might’ve seen me wearing her designs. They’re perfect for making you the obvious winner of Sister of the Year.
For your brother: Coffee from Soljurn Coffee. This family-owned company works directly with small farmers in Costa Rica to bring you coffee that’s not only delicious but also sustainably sourced. Your brother will thank you (probably after his first sip).
For your cool aunt: A tee from The Bee & the Fox. Eco-friendly t-shirts with attitude, made by a woman-owned business supporting social change. You’re bound to find something that matches her vibe.
For your uncle that "still has it": PurePro Arnica. The best arnica products out there! Super concentrated and made in small batches, they’re basically the next best thing to Advil for bruises, aches, and sore muscles. The concentrate and cream are travel-ready and perfect for tackling any adventure.
For the kids in your life: Storybutton Say goodbye to screen time battles. Storybutton is the screen-free way to keep kids entertained for hours. Parents will thank you endlessly.
For your best friend: Pillows from Sway Your best friend deserves something as cool as they are. Sway’s chic pillows (or really anything from their collection) are a guaranteed win.
For your favorite coworker: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This book is pure magic, a beautiful blend of science and Indigenous wisdom. Grab a copy at your local indie bookstore or the audiobook on Lebro.fm.
For the foodie: Belly of the Sun's herb-infused ghee. Small-batch, handmade, and absolutely divine. This ghee will take any dish to the next level.
For the non-drinker: Romeo's Gin alcohol-free mocktails. As a gin lover, I was blown away by this alcohol-free cocktail. It’s so good I had to double-check that it wasn’t the real thing.
For that person who has nice taste: Reilo + Seed Skincare. Their Glow moisturizer and Grand Rising exfoliating peel are pure luxury. Perfect for anyone who loves self-care with a side of sophistication.
For that person who you’re always stumped by: A water bottle or tea towel from Phoebe Whal Designs. Adorable, practical, and just too cute to handle. No one has ever been disappointed by one of these gifts.
For the health nut: Sap! Sparking Maple Sap. My favorite drink, hands down. Lightly sweet, packed with minerals and antioxidants, and way cooler than coconut water.
For anyone, including yourself: Biomagnetism Video Plan. You knew this was coming! The gift of health is the ultimate wellness gift. Whether it’s for a loved one or a little self-love, this plan offers the tools to feel your best—because nothing beats giving the gift of better health.
Gift thoughtfully. Gift meaningfully. Gift well. Here’s to making this holiday season one to remember!
