2021 Holiday Gift Guide
🎁 They’re here!…the Holidays, and our brand NEW 2021 Holiday Gift Guide!
With the holidays here, it is often a time of reflection on the past year and those we love most.
For so many of us, myself included, it’s the small things that really stand out, like spending quality time with the people we love, going on a walk in the crisp fresh air, catching up with a dear friend, or a dinner with our family.
These special gifts of time and presence are the most meaningful gifts of all. ‘Tis the season, and in addition I know we’re all looking for intentional ways to gift our loved ones (and ourselves too), so I am here to help!
I gathered some of my most favorite things that I personally use and love that all made the NICE LIST!
Our guide is filled with unique, healthy, and special gift ideas from small businesses, many of which are local, and almost all women-owned.
Check it out to find that perfect gift (see you later, boring re-gifted sweater 😴) and maybe even create a wishlist for yourself, too! Happy Holidays!

Clean Beauty that Works Wonders
ILIA is my favorite clean beauty brand! They fuse skincare with makeup for products that not only perform but that I feel so confident putting on my skin! A few of my absolute favorites include the “Limitless mascara” (and trust me, I’ve tried them all-this is a just-right balance of length and volume with 0 clumps), the “Multi stick” for cheeks, lips and eyes all in one, and the award-winning “Super Serum Skin Tint” with SPF 40 built in, which I especially love because I am trying to really be conscious of protecting my skin, even when I’m not in the sunshine, so this makes it a no-brainer for me, since its already built in! Talk about the perfect stocking stuffers. Plus, they donate 1% of super serum skin tint sales to environmental causes like planting trees!

Chocolates and Cookies (that are better for you, but don’t taste like it!
Hu makes simple, healthy, organic dark chocolate Gems (chips), Hunks (chocolate covered nuts), and chocolate bars that have none of the junk, and are paleo and vegan. 🍫Cashew Butter with Raspberry (don’t mind me drooling over here ;) and Vanilla Crunch are a few of my favorite chocolate bars! They’re delicious whether you’re snacking, baking, or gifting them as a gift set. And their crunchy mini cookies are taste just like the old fashioned ones but are free of refined sugar and grains…I am obsessed with these and the classic chocolate chip are my favorite but ginger is a close second for a seasonal treat!

Nutre Meals
We love these delicious pre-made healthy meals that taste like restaurant quality and are big servings, too! I have ordered these meals for busy weeks so I can still nourish my body, and have been so impressed. The ingredients are high quality and the meat isn’t weird/rubbery/suspect. Perfect for every day, or for extra busy weeks, families with new babies, or going through hardships, crazy holiday times, etc.. I appreciate this local Boston company’s green initiatives and giving back such as reusable bags for local deliveries with 100% recycled packing materials, and donating meals to those in need.

Women’s Health Supplements
Give the gift of health to yourself or a loved one with the purchase of quality supplements that I personally take and recommend to my health coaching clients. All are professional grade and 3rd party verified, the highest quality supplements to fill in the gaps as I say, and help you feel your best!
Decadent Nut Butters
You all know how much I love nut butter and it’s a part of my daily meals/snacks as I prioritize getting enough healthy fats. You also know that Georgia Grinders is my go-to for high quality, mouthwatering nut butters. With only nuts and sea salt, and NO added sugars or oils, these are an incredibly healthy and satisfying way to get important nutrients and healthy fats, that taste decadent too. I personally love to dip a piece of dark chocolate into a spoonful of their cashew butter (hello cookie dough hack!) pecan butter, or almond butter sprinkled with sea salt as a healthy treat 🍯! It’s also delicious added to smoothies, oatmeal, chia pudding, or to make my maple caramel pumpkin fall balls! Plus, the owner Jaime is the sweetest and they are from her Grandfather’s recipe (I love supporting good-hearted business owners!).
They have fun gift boxes for the foodie, health nut (see what I did there?) or baker on your list where you can any 3 flavors to go inside, and their seasonal “chocolate bourbon pecan butter” is to die for…but hurry because it always sells out!

Nontoxic 100% Essential Oil Candles
The most beautiful relaxing candles! Made from sustainably grown US soy wax and 100% essential oil, nontoxic, clean, long burning, hand poured, reusable glass container, and created by a local, small woman-owned business. I have one in every area of my house, and trust me, you’ll want some for yourself, too…they’re that good; and you can feel good about them being so clean. Available in Lavender, Lavender-Vanilla, Vanilla, and Eucalyptus-Mint!
All-in-one Powerful, Nontoxic Cleaner
Branch Basics is my favorite non-toxic, super effective yet safe cleaner, based on one multi-purpose concentrate that can replace all your products. Use it for your whole home, including dishes, laundry, kitchen, bathroom, hands, even to clean produce and jewelry, and make a bubble bath! You can feel good about using this chemical free product, especially when there are little ones and furry ones around. This is perfect for those in your life who are health-conscious, want to have a greener, cleaner home, and start getting rid of the toxins. Bonus: it’s environmentally friendly since there’s less plastic bottles and you just add water!

Organic Spices, Sauces & Clean Meat Sticks
The New Primal has the highest quality and flavorful organic spices and sauces! We especially love their organic Spice Rack Pack with all of the very best spices, including their everything-but-the-bagel seasoning so you can make my breakfast casserole and sprinkle it on top of everything else too! ;) While you’re at it, their clean sauces like mustard BBQ and Buffalo Ranch make my mouth water every time and we put it on everything!
Lastly, their clean meat sticks are such a convenient and tasty way for you and your kiddos to get more protein (chicken, turkey, and beef options), in a clean, no junk, no fillers, and no sugar way, even when you’re on the go. There’s one in every bag I own and I especially love the new buffalo chicken and the super popular spicy flavors! These make the perfect fun hostess gifts and stocking stuffers.
