Whether you’re just starting your shopping or wrapping it up (pun intended), it’s time to cross “find the perfect gift” off your to-do list.
EcoPeaCo. Diapers at Target, $47.99: This might seem strange at first, but my brother actually gifted us a diaper subscription for both of my kids and it was THE BEST gift ever. It gives me total peace of mind to have environmentally friendly diapers reliably show up at the door, knowing they don’t contain harmful chemicals that would be against my kids’ skin 24 hours a day. Perfect gift for new parents!
Wet Brush - Go Green Detangler Brush at Ulta, $17.99: My daughter uses this brush all the time to detangle her own hair without crying — and any parents out there know how helpful that is! Complete with sustainable packaging, it’s super forgiving while getting through all the tangles. A great stocking stuffer.
Suntegrity 5-in-1 Tinted Moisturizing Face Sunscreen at Credo Beauty, $48: Great for moms on the go! It takes me 30 seconds to put on and acts as my light foundation, moisturizer, and SPF all in one. It’s one of my “hall of fame” products — I’ve used it for years.”
DedCool 01 “Taunt” Eau de Parfum at Sephora, $90: I get compliments on this perfume every time I wear it! DedCool is intentional about its sourcing and formulation, avoiding water in its products for a smaller carbon footprint and embracing energy-efficient processes. DedCool fragrances are genderless, which makes this perfume a thoughtful gift for anyone.
EcoTools Jade Roller + Gua Sha Stone Facial Duo at Ulta, $14.99: This gift is like giving someone permission to take a moment for themselves. I’ve found gua sha and jade rolling to be incredibly therapeutic — perfect practices for self-care and relaxation.
Youth To The People Superberry Firm + Glow Dream Body Butter at Sephora, $48: I’m on my third jar of this luxurious body butter. Honestly, it makes me look forward to my showers! It delivers incredible hydration and glow — and the brand truly walks the talk when it comes to sustainability by using better sourcing practices, reducing carbon emissions, and donating money via its Planet Fund initiative.”
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Play Body Wash at Ulta, $26: This top-rated body wash from super-buzzy Sol de Janeiro would make a perfect gift for a new mom or any friend who loves self-care.
Outside Dusk Eau de Parfum at Credo Beauty, $196: Treat the guy on your list to this crowd favorite fragrance from a black woman-founded perfumery.
Kate McCloud The Body Moisturizer Stone Mini Sampler Set at Sephora, $42: I’m really into this new brand founded by a mom and former pastry chef in the Hudson Valley who focuses on cocoa butter formulations. I discovered the line through the Sephora Clean + Planet Aware program. This discovery set featuring four solid lotion bars — so no water added — is perfect for travel and camping. I’m gifting these to my besties.”
Caftari Scent of Nirvana candle at Credo Beauty, $58: Clean candles are hard to get right and to me, this one hits all the marks. A thoughtful, substantial gift for nearly anyone.
Exa All Smiles Universal Glow Lip Oil at Credo Beauty, $15: This lip oil is the best thing that ever happened to me! It feels like a true oil on your lips, meaning it doesn’t crust or give you lines of demarcation like some lipsticks. Gift it to your girlfriends or pick it up as a stocking stuffer.
Ellis Brooklyn FAIRY TALES Fragrance Rollerball Gift Set at Ulta Beauty, $60: Ellis Brooklyn scents are decadent, and this 5-star-rated set lets your loved one try a lot of different options.”
