His + Hers || Ethical Christmas Shopping 2019
We keep Christmas pretty “simple” around here, preferring gifts of experience/time/money over most physical presents. BUT, there’s something special about opening up a brand new piece, chosen specifically with you in mind. Whether you’re the shopper or the recipient of your own gift (no shame in shopping for yourself this time of year!) these pieces are all ethically made, from brands you can feel proud to support, and perfect for real life. I included a wide variety of pieces for a range of budgets and lifestyles — hopefully there’s truly something for everyone here!
To shop the piece, click on the image and head straight to the brand’s website. Be sure to comment below and let me know what you’re planning to buy this season!
Happy shopping!
