2019 Healthy Holiday Gift Guide (Something For Everyone On Your List!)

The holidays are just around the corner!

… the tree lightings and eggnog and parties AND GIFTS!

Call me crazy, but I actually like giving gifts more than I like receiving them (though that’s by no means the only reason you can call me crazy).

And I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’ve always had a real knack for finding that perfect gift for all of my loved ones — you know, something I know they’ll actually appreciate and not just toss in the closet and forget about.

It’s also important to me that I spend money on products I believe in — products that better our lives or world in some way.

Luckily, it’s possible to give the perfect gift to everyone on your list AND spend money on products that are in line with your personal values.

The Healthy Holidays Gift Guide is divided by who you’re shopping for:

• Ladies
• Gentlemen
• Your Healthy Bestie
• Cooks and Foodies
• Coworkers and Party Hosts
• Eco-friendly Friends & Family
• Babies
• Kids
