Ok, I donāt know about you, but I still have a ways to go with my holiday shopping. As usualā¦
I have a huge family, but gift giving has gotten more manageable the last few years as weāve transitioned to Secret Santaās for the adults. Great, right?!!
BUT, now I have kids old enough to participate in allllll the activities. That means gifts for the soccer and gymnastics coaches, teachers, etcā¦
Itās easy to run to the local stores and pick up some inexpensive hand lotion, candles or chocolate to go with a gift card. But. I donāt know, I just canāt bring myself to do that this year.
If you follow me. You know my thoughts on wellness, and you know how strongly I believe that a lot of the toxins we expose ourselves to daily are wreaking havoc on our bodies. Iām no where near perfect, but Iām making a VERY focused effort to eliminate toxins in my life. Which is why I canāt just give gifts that are loaded with chemicals or unsafe ingredients to the important people in our lives either.
Iāve done a lot of research this year and have compiled a list of some solid gift ideas for everyone on my list- and hopefully yours too!
Clean coffee! āļø Iāve never been sad about a new cute mug and some good quality coffee to sip on these chilly mornings, and I know many people who have a bit of a coffee habit too. But, I know most coffee companies donāt test for mold and microbial activity, and I just donāt wanna mess around with that. So, I bring you my favorite coffee to give as a stocking stuffer and for all the hardworking teachers in our lives:

And, while weāre on the subject of my favorite beverages, letās talk wineā¦
Iāve been SUPER impressed with these clean wines, which are free of loads of sugar, arsenic, glyphosate (aka Round Up), ferrocyanide and animal by products. Does it bother anyone else that that means most wines ARENāT free of those???
Iāve loved every bottle Iāve tried from here, and I think you will too. Great gift to bring to dinner/party hosts, gift for family and friends. Oh, and grab an extra bottle or two for yourself while youāre at it:

Another favorite gift for anyone in your life who might be dealing with stress related health problems would be cbd. And again, quality here matters. I love the gummies but this holiday tincture pak looks like a great stocking stuffer or gift for a family member or friend: https://sarahmckinnon.greencompassglobal.com/product/125MGBSTRIOSET
Letās be honestā¦delivery drivers are working hard this year. Last year, we decided to make a basket to leave outside the front door the last few weeks before the holidays, and I filled it with my favorite healthy crackers, protein bars and this incredible āfunctional beverageā to give our postal workers and delivery drivers as they worked tirelessly through the season. The basket was emptied daily and I happily replenished it, knowing I wasnāt just leaving them more unhealthy, processed snacks but was still leaving them something that tasted amazing and fueled them during these grueling days. Hereās a link to my favorite adaptogenic drink, great for your delivery drivers as well as the teachers and coaches on your list: https://jessicatreadwell1.isagenix.com/en-us/shop/feel-better/bea?pid=e422d75c30464bbe9ba4038a53ff0b5a
Have a girlfriend or coworker on your Secret Santa list this year?? Iāve always loved giving some fun hand lotions, makeup, etcā¦but recent news has me more than paranoid about the level of carcinogens in beauty products. Iāve made the switch to cleaner beauty, and canāt not share the love with those I love. This charcoal mask is incredible and I canāt think of one of my girlfriends who wouldnāt love it, but if thatās not for you, they have some really fun holiday sets:

And finally, while weāre on the subject of cleaning up our products, Iāve recently been introduced to this company and am SUPER impressed. You can get some of the classic gift bundles here (think, candles and lotions) for teacher gifts or Secret Santaās, and while youāre at it, stock up on some healthy personal care products or household cleaning supplies (the multipurpose cleaner is next on my list): http://www.purehaven.com/joyorpin
Iād love to hear what clean gifts you are buying this year too!!
Happy, happy holidays, friends!!
