2020 Holiday Gift Guide

🎁They’re here!…the Holidays, and my brand NEW 2020 Holiday Gift Guide! 

I gathered some of my most favorite things that I personally use and love that all made the NICE LIST!

This year it’s more important than ever to support small businesses. My guide is filled with unique, healthy gift ideas from small businesses, many of which are local, and almost all women-owned, for all those you love (including you!). 

Check it out to find that perfect gift (see you later, boring sweaters and mugs 😴) and maybe even create a wishlist for yourself, too!

Self Care Kit 

My signature, personalized Self Care Kits offer some much-needed beautiful relaxation and self care with:

Seasonal items: Organic elderberry gummies, immunity support organic teas, and organic Elderberry + Manuka honey lip balm. Plus, soothing nontoxic candle made with 100% essential oil, organic bath products, calming Essential oil, lava rock and gemstone aromatherapy bracelet, gratitude journal, my inspiring Self Care Cards, lavender sachet, organic lip balm, & dark chocolate, all with an emphasis on supporting local women-owned businesses! It’s a win-win to support small, local businesses. I even include a hand-written card and personalize each kit.

These make the most thoughtful gifts for loved ones who could use some extra relaxation and stress relief, or yourself too! 💗

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! Click on the title and use code UNWRAP20 to get 20% off your entire order + Free Shipping + Free eyeliner and mascara (the best!)!

Clean, Fun Protein

As most of you know by now, I am obsessed with Chomps sticks!  These are our go-to source for clean portable protein when I am on the go or don’t have time to make a snack! In our home, we especially love the Italian beef and jalepeno beef.

Super clean, grass fed and finished with 0 fillers, 0 sugar, 0 junk, Whole30, Keto, Paleo, gluten free & dairy free. They even have mini sticks, Chomplings, that are great for kids or smaller snacks + fit right inside a lunchbox or tote bag! These make fun stocking stuffers and word on the street is that it’s the Reindeer’s favorite food, too!

Self Care Inspiration Cards

I created this 52-card deck of Self Care Affirmation Cards to inspire, empower, and support you with beautiful, powerful affirmations journal prompts, reflection questions, and action steps.

These make a perfect addition to your self care routine, meditation or journal practice, as an intention for your day or week, or as a thoughtful gift! They come in a beautiful box, wrapped in ribbon inside a white sachet pouch, ready for gift-giving!

Organic Chocolates

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 (drooling…) and Vanilla Crunch are a few of my yummy favorite bars! They’re delicious whether you’re snacking, baking, or gifting them. Plus, they offer create-your-own bundles and best sellers that make such great gifts. Way better than a lump of coal ;) Click on the title and use code NURSINGYOURWAYTOWELLNESS to get 15% off your entire order + Free Shipping with $75 purchase!

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 probably 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 energy balls!

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! Click on the title and use code NWW for 20% off your order!

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!

Easy Meals to Make Yourself or Already-Prepared

Sunbasket is my favorite meal kit and I’ve tried them all! Organic, healthy and delicious meals your family will love, and you can even choose your meal plan (gluten free, vegetarian, paleo, etc.) or opt for ready-to-eat prepared meals, too.  🍽They reduce waste, encourage you and your family to try new recipes that you wouldn’t otherwise, and they’re affordable and convenient! This also makes a great gift for anyone who can’t get to the grocery store, an elderly neighbor, a new Mom, or any busy woman who doesn’t want to think about “what’s for dinner” again!

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 the women 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! I love it so much in my home, and the women who founded it are also a wealth of knowledge on sustainable, nontoxic living.  Click on the title and use code GIVECLEAN to get 20% off + Free Shipping on your entire order!

The Best Seafood and Meats

Vital Choice is where you come to find the best sustainable, wild caught seafood and meat that is the highest quality, certified for purity, and delivered right to your door! My favorites are the tuna poke, the wild Alaskan sockeye salmon, and the wild blue shrimp (wild shrimp is very hard to find, and so worth it!).
