For this holiday season, I want to give you all some ideas for excellent holiday gifts. Of course, they’re all eco and 100% vegan! Check these out:

 

Vaute Couture Sweatshirts

These sweatshirts are sooo cute and are perfect for any animal-lover. And the most comfy thing you will every touch….I mean seriously comfy. And they're made by the super-cute Leanne, designer of Vaute Couture. The fleece is made from recycled polyester and organic cotton. The animal prints are dyed using water-based ink. And they're super comfy and chic. Get your hands on one here.

 

My 5-Piece Juice Beauty Collection

RQv6EjS2a7Ar65NWA4yIvPH4.jpeg:Amazon:photo

I teamed up with Juice Beauty to make these five special products. They are made with the finest ingredients ever….all organic, all good for you deliciousness. Not only do they work and are so healthy for your skin, they smell delicious and feel great. They’re made from real fruit juices like passion fruit and champagne grapes (sourced from local farmers!) and are made with aloe water. There’s nothing yucky in here! The complete collection includes my Simply Pure Chamomile Cleanser, Simply Nourishing Moisturizer, Irresistible Glow Highlighter, Simply Flawless Pressed Powder, and Purely Kissable Lip Color – I gave the lip color to my mother-in-law and she loved it!  Get my Juice Beauty Collection here. You can also get just the 3-piece Make-up collection or 2-piece Skincare Collection.

 

Leah Wallet by Hearts of Darkness

I really like the bright emerald green one. The  embossed “snakeskin” look is so fancy but not fussy. They have a ton of slots on the inside for all of your credit cards and a little window for your ID, plus an area for money and a zipper compartment for loose change. Grab this guy here. 

 

In-Ear Wooden Environmentally Friendly Headphones by Thinksound

These earphones by Thinksound are perfect for your music-loving friends and family members and can easily be stuffed into a stocking. They are really high quality, sound amazing, and look great. The wooden casing on the earbud makes music and any audio you're listening to sound crisp and clear. What I like best of all is that every component of these headphones has been chosen with care, to make the smallest eco-footprint possible. Grab a pair here. 

 

Mariel Cross Body Bag by Urban Expressions

3kl75U8lzlKVzgFvHrbtZHpl.jpeg:Amazon:photo

This cool little clutch is a perfect go-to bag for any trendy chick. It's simple and stylish. It can dress up simple black skinny jeans, a great worn-in black tee shirt, heels and a little jacket. It dresses up just about any outfit without any fuss. Get it here.

 

Leaf Vibrator by Swan

Ycoxrh2gHcfJxnbL9PHNCC6V.jpeg:Amazon:photo

These vibrators from Leaf come in a bunch of different shapes, all inspired by nature. I like that they look natural and feminine…like leaves and flowers...not scary. Plus they’re made from phalate-free, super-soft (and safe) silicone, and they use rechargeable batteries. And they're shipped to you in packaging that’s not only discreet, but made from recycled materials. They make a great gift for yourself, your partner, or your girlfriends! I gave then as gifts to the female cast members of Performers because it fit the play and they’re so eco and pretty. And I can tell you it works great! Get one here. 

 

My Ecotools Brush Set and Bag

IGbGckQyFQlFNuschdXxXdKW.jpeg:Amazon:photo

I love these bags! They’re so pretty. The brushes feature bamboo handles, recycled aluminum ferrules and incredibly soft, cruelty-free taklon bristles. You can help your mom, aunt, sister, or girlfriend stay kind to herself and the earth with this gift because  this eco-friendly bag is made with natural hemp and cotton, has a recycled PET lining, and the hangtag is printed on tree-free stone paper. Get my Ecotools brush set and bag.

 

Green Chain Strap Shoulder Bag by Izzy & Ali

RfBYD7QP0zUowVOjGNSaud9n.jpeg:Amazon:photo

I really like this color and the detail on this bag is very nice. It's great for the lady on the go… so easy to grab it and go for a lunch date, or a fun outing. Or it can be for funky evening wear. No animals harmed in the making! YIPPIE….it's made of cruelty-free faux leather. Who wouldn't love that? Snag it here.

 

Adidas by Stella McCartney Running Shoe

KlbzhwZK1pOKgQIkJDRWAGCC.jpeg:Amazon:photo

This is for the fitness gurus or athletes that you love. I'm a fan of Stella McCartney’s designs and I'm happy about her collaboration with Adidas for athletic wear. These easy, black slip-on shoes are super lightweight—they say you can wear them without socks and you’ll feel like you are in your bare feet, but better because they’re so cushion-y and comfy. They can wear them to the gym or even just running errands around town—they’re very stylish and slick, so they won't even look like sneakers! Get  ‘em here. 

 

Full Circle Home Composter 

BUy2ziCMJNANDYUNQJtPNVYX.jpeg:Amazon:photo

This little guy makes a great gift for your parents, friends or relatives with a green thumb, or really, anyone! Because who doesn’t want o be kind to Mama Earth? This home composter is easy way to do just that. Composting recycles organic matter—like banana peels, veggie shavings and other plants. It offers 2 great advantages: it keeps garbage out of landfills (where it never has a chance to break down) and it makes amazing soil for your garden. Composting is super-easy to do at home, especially with a compact composter like this one. It's small enough to fit in your kitchen and seals in odors, so your kitchen won't stink! We love ours and hope that anyone who receives it will too! Get the composter here.  

 

TRTL BOT Eco-Functional iPhone 4/4S case

rzc1r0u62WTulOd7UHCdGsSg.jpeg:Amazon:photo

For anyone you know with an iPhone, this case is a must. I have the blue one and I’m obsessed with mine. They feel good to touch and make me so happy every time I use my phone. Plus, I get tons of compliments on it. Each one is made from 100% up-cycled plastic, and contains at least one recycled plastic bottle. How groovy is that? Plus with this one  you can fit your credit card or cash into the back for quick errands. People are always eyeing mine because of that feature. Plus, all of the iPhone cases are shipped to you in biodegradable packing peanuts and come in boxes made of recycled paper. They're also super durable. It has survived many drops by me… and throws from Bear too! Oh, and did I mention they're cute? That, too. Snag one here.  

 

Kind Holiday Cards and Gift Tags

FjnINcTyjRFnzh93g0mfvWST.jpeg:Amazon:photo

If you’re just sending a card or you’re including a card with your gift, you can send one of these. These cards are made from recycled paper. They make recycled holiday cards and recycled gift tags. Get eco-friendly cards and gift tags here. You can also make your own cards and make sure to recycle the cards when you're done! 

 

A few more things worth mentioning… 

These make great stocking stuffers:
Hand-crafted soaps from Estrella
Livin’ Spoonful Crackers
Vegan Divas Gluten-Free Coconut Macaroons

If you’re buying for someone you don’t know too well, try:
Weaver’s Organic and Fair Trade Coffee Bundle
Sunwarrior Warrior Blend Protien
Cookies & Crispy Bars by Pure Sweets

And don’t forget your dog!
Max & Ruffy’s Organic Dog Treats

      Alicia: I have added another item to my eco-vegan wish list: Vegan Tieks. Sooo cute! You can find the 4 vegan styles at http://tieks.com/boutiek/ (an no, I have no affiliation with Tieks whatsoever - just desperately want a pair under my tree!).

      I love that this post includes a vibrator. I think we all should be more open and honest about our sexuality, instead of ashamed or embarrassed. I think that's a great thoughtful gift.

      Like the gift ideas, Alicia. I like the iPhone covers, your Juice Beauty products, sweatshirts and the wallets too, I think. Have a great day, Missy! x.
