Baggu Stockings
Do you have a Baggu lover in your life who already owns every possible Baggu bag? Do simply need to own a big puffy stocking because who doesn't need a big puffy stocking? Look no further. We've got you covered. The infamous strawberry print is my favorite (we have socks to match too), but with four patterns to choose from you have options! From Stripes to Starry Fish - there's a Baggu stocking for everyone on your list.

Head & Heal CBN Oil 1:1
The older I get, the more I realize the value of a good night's sleep. Give the gift of rest this holiday season with Head & Heal's hemp oil that blends full-spectrum CBD oil with a relaxing boost of cannabinol (CBN). USDA-Certified organic and grown on a small farm in Cortland, New York, Head & Heal's products are made with the utmost care and attention; there's a reason they're a staff favorite at Cambridge Naturals!
Nora

They are, simply, just little guys. A perfect gift for the weird little guy appreciator in your life (we all know one - if you don't, you may be them). Whether hanging from a rearview mirror, sitting on your desk, or swinging from your handbag, these cozy crocheted friends are sure to brighten your day and emanate immaculate little guy energy.

Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp
While I could by someone gloves, or socks or something of that nature, I believe that food is the greatest gift of all, and that's why I chose the Fly by Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp. This hot sauce is not just an ordinary hot sauce. It is a mild tempered, warm heat, put on anything you please hot sauce. I add at as a condiment of sorts to rice, dumplings, and my most recent favorite, Pizza! I will be giving this as a gift because it's not just something the recipient will eat and forget about. They will have it with them for weeks to come.

Ghia Le Spritz Lime & Salt Soda
This year I've limited my alcohol consumption even further (from the relatively minimal amount I drank before). Maybe it's getting older and wiser, or perhaps just more tired from all-the-life-things, but I've found myself even less tolerant of a morning hangover from a mere couple glasses of wine! So I'm thrilled with our increasingly excellent selection of mocktails and festive NA beverages. I'm really looking forward to holiday friend gatherings this season, and planning to bring a four-pack of Ghia Le Spritz Lime & Salt Soda to share - it's the perfect balance of crisp, bitter, tart and lightly sweet! Complex enough to feel 'adult' and supremely tasty. Crack one open and enjoy!

Soap & Paper Roland Pine Shea Butter Soap Bar
My partner is a big fan of the large Roland Pine candle I gave him last year. He used it all year long because it's his favorite scent! While I do plan on gifting him another candle this year (it's almost out!), I am excited to get him the Roland Pine scented soap bar! I'm sure any fan of our beloved Roland Pine candles will love using this luscious shea butter soap bar with the same scent!

Hot Dates Chocolate Covered Stuffed Dates - Spicy Sunflower Butter Flavor + Chocolate Covered Stuffed Dates - Coffee Dates Flavor
I'm always big on culinary gifts - because your family and friends deserve those things they just wouldn't know to buy themselves, right? They've just got to try you're favorite snack/sauce/spice/drink! For me this year, that's locally-owned-and-made Hot Dates. Fabulously delicious dates stuffed with delectable fillings coated in top notch chocolate - these are as healthy as they are decadent. I couldn't choose a flavor so you'll just have to try both

Ursa Major Alpine Rich Cream
Love the holidays? Have dry skin? Wish you were walking through an alpine meadow as the sun rises and the autumn leaves in the valley glow crimson and gold? Ursa Major’s newest cream offers high quality moisture that is also light and not too oily. Perfect for dropping temps and winter winds.
Mike
Winding Road Ornament - Yellow Chick
Life is hard; this we know. We could all use a little pal to deal with the world, and this yellow chick can be that pal! I personally keep mine hanging in my car as a reminder that no matter what happens, there's a little adorable pal to ground me. What more could you want? And, if you don't want them in your car for whatever reason, this fowl friend can hang just as easily off a tree or a little hook at home. Birds fit anywhere, and I'm personally very glad they do.

Stainless Steel Gua Sha Tool by Mount Lai
Need a gift for the self care enthusiast or skin care curious someone in your life? Look to Mount Lai! I love using this tool for gua sha, a practice used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine for promoting blood circulation, firming the skin, lymphatic drainage, and more. The shape is specifically designed to fit the curves of your face and I appreciate the cooling and antibacterial properties of stainless steel. It's also more durable than a tool made of stone (and I have dropped 1 too many jade gua sha tools for my liking). We carry Mount Lai's plant-based skin care range as well which was intentionally created to pair with their gua sha tools and is safe for all skin types! Wonderful gifts all around from this beautiful, planet conscious, Asian-Woman Owned business.

Mo&Co Beeswax Tapers - Bayberry
Mo&Co always offers a variety of unique handmade beeswax candles. This year, they are offering these limited edition bayberry taper candles! The historic magickal attributes of bayberry are known to draw good luck and success. On the company's website, they advise to burn the candles overnight on New Year's Eve to usher good luck into the New Year. In my eyes, this is the perfect holiday gift- a beautifully handcrafted home item with a touch of magick.
Vicki
Brush With Bamboo - Stainless Steel Tongue Cleaner
Give the gift of a super clean mouth this year, for their sake and for your own ;). This stainless steel tongue scraper will last them forever. If you've never tongue scraped before, it is amazing how much gathers on our tongue after a night's sleep. Make sure to be gently when gliding it over your tongue. This is an ancient Ayurvedic practice, that modern dentists are now recommending! Best done in the morning after oil pulling! But honestly, you don't even have to oil pull! What is oil pulling? That's for another day!

Andes Gifts - Flittens
At some point every Fall I swap out my Summer clothes for my Winter ones. I take inventory of my warm scarves, hats and mittens. This year I must have a new pair of mittens ....or Flittens ! Andes Gifts Flittens would be a perfect gift for me. These fleece lined Flittens - fingerless gloves with a mitten flap option - are fleece lined and this year we have a new beautiful color option of SageBlue and Ochre. These keep your hands warm and your fingers free, until you want to cover them with their very own mitten cap. Andes Gifts is a Fair Trade company , handmade by Aymara and Quechua artisans in the Andes Mountains. There are lots of fun color choices as well as a variety of hats and scarves to match. Happy Winter !

Death Valley Nail Polish - Lily of the Swamp, Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, An Electric Eel in Love & The Whir of Insects
Looking for the perfect stocking stuffer or gift to brighten someone's day? Or nails? Look no further than Death Valley Nail Polish. One of my favorite relaxing activities is painting my nails and either trying out a new color that's out of my comfort zone or even matching my nails to my favorite color scheme of the moment. Death Valley not only has a wonderful selection of colors (ranging from the essentials to more adventurous options), but their color names are equally amazing. With shades such as Lily of the Swamp, Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, An Electric Eel in Love, and The Whir of Insects, these are sure to be a fantastic choice!

Cocokind Ceramide Barrier Serum + Travel Sized Ceramide Barrier Serum
Another great option for the skincare lovers in your life: Cocokind's Ceramide Barrier Serum. As I've learned more about taking care of my skin, I've come to realize the importance of a healthy skin barrier in preventing moisture loss and soothing irritation. This product is safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin like mine and leaves my face feeling hydrated, smooth and supple. This is one of my favorite products of the last year, I recommend it all the time and will certainly be gifting a few this holiday season. AND it comes in a mini travel size, perfect for a stocking stuffer!
