Sustainable Holiday Gift Guide For Women
Oh my gosh- Thanksgiving is tomorrow!! Are you ready for this? I have untraditional plans- my hubby and I are going with his family to a restaurant because his parents recently gutted their kitchen and it is not done yet. I'm into it though- nontraditional is super fun on the occasion.As soon as Thanksgiving is over the holidays will be like BAM!! HERE!! So I have done a holiday gift guide for the men in your life and for all the hostesses of the holidays parties.I now have a gift guide for the women in your life- in fact it is a sustainable holiday gift guide for women. I like pretty things and legitimately beautiful things. Things that empower women and bring about a more beautiful world. The holiday season often gets a bad rap for consumerism and all that craziness- which I understand where that comes from (I used to work in retail and people get ugly).The thing is I love the holidays- I love Christmas trees, twinkle lights, snow, warm fires, lots of food, family, snuggly scarves, snow boots, and giving gifts. I love giving gifts. We can choose what we purchase though and we can choose how we react to the holidays. So I gathered up beautiful items that are sustainable and/or create a better world for others.
