Need some inspiration for your holiday season? Christmas is just around the corner and this time of year can feel both festive and stressful. We love the holidays and spending time with friends and family, but if I’m being completely honest, all the shopping and gift-giving can get a little overwhelming. That's why we made a list of a handful of our favorite go-to brands for good gifting: Cotopaxi: Gear for good for all the adventurers in your life. Built to last, sustainably sourced, and ethically made, all their gear helps alleviate poverty around the world. https://www.cotopaxi.com/ MiiR: Design forward and generosity-driven, this premium drinkware brand has been a go-to favorite for Stanton and I for years and it never disappoints. https://www.miir.com/ Nisolo Shoes: Nisolo has nailed style and sustainability. Their boot styles are those perfect ones you're always looking for, plus they're super comfortable, high quality, and versatile. They even have all-weather options for us folks in rainy Seattle. https://nisolo.com/ Copper Cow Coffee: Premium Vietnamese Coffee, we discovered CCC when we were looking for ways to make great coffee on the road. They have specialty pour over coffees that you can make on the go in just 90 seconds. And always have lots of delicious and festive seasonal flavors (all made from real herbs and spices, of course!). Plus, they're woman-owned! https://coppercowcoffee.com Particle Goods: Ritual aroma goods from a fellow Seattle-based brand. They make small batch candles and fragrances that smell divine and donate 1% locally. https://particlegoods.com/ And last but not least, we’d be be remiss if we didn’t share our favorite daily self-care essentials! Umanos: Clean & sustainable essentials for your everyday rituals. Our Umanos Sustainable Shower Set and Sustainable Hair Duo are favorite go-to essentials or your daily shower rituals. All sustainably made, beautifully packaged, and gift-giving ready. Happy holidays and happy gifting! 🎄🎁
