The holiday season is known for overconsumption when it comes to spending (and eating - let's be honest). But what can we do differently? Choosing the right gifts is difficult enough, especially when we want to be responsible shoppers. 

We've compiled all the best sustainable, local, and homemade items we've got in stock. Take a look at what's in the shop!

 

1. Invest in sustainable.

We've all gotten a gift that's best job is collecting dust. You know the type - those gifts that are more about the gesture than its contents. Put an end to that wasted potential by giving intentional, useful gifts that last. Look for products that come in waste-free packaging and companies that believe in a bigger cause. An added bonus: Gifting sustainable products is a sneaky way to encourage your loved ones to reduce waste themselves.

2. Shop local artisans.
