Kind Gift Guide 2016

Whatever the occasion, I always try to give gifts that people need.

Whatever the occasion, I always try to give gifts that people need. Some of my favorite beauty products, natural products, a copy of one my books or mykind Organics vitamins. It’s so important to me that the gifts I give are always vegan, eco, and useful!
From do-it-yourself funky gifts to eco and social conscious goods, here’s a guide to kind gift giving this season:
DIYThe Kind Life

  1. Colorful copper pipe hanging planter – A Beautiful Mess
  2. Funky hot pads – Paper n’ Stitch
  3. Upcycled grocery bags made out of plastic bags – Dana Made It
  4. Organic soap – Lovely Greens

You can’t go wrong with baking delicious goodies! The Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies on page 187 of The Kind Diet would be a pretty holiday cookie to mail to your loved ones. Or my mom’s granola in a jar on page 201 of The Kind Diet is the best ever!
One year, I baked assorted desserts from my book and gifted them in boxes decorated with pieces of ribbon or wrapping paper I’d been given in the past. I also included the recipes (printed on recycled paper of course), so my friends could recreate their kind treats.
