Sustainable Holiday Gift Guide 2020: 50+ Fair Trade, Eco-Friendly, & Ethical Presents
I decided to take the month of December off, though we’ll see how long I can rein in my workaholic tendencies to make that happen. In any case, I thought I would try to offer the most useful, most epic, most thorough ethical wishlist of all time – for StyleWise anyway – to make up for my absence.
Items in this list were selected based on metrics of fair labor, eco-friendliness, quality, and aesthetic. I selected products at a variety of price points, and offer “Shop All” links to help you peruse other items in each brand’s line. I built it out with an idea that there would be something for everyone, and I hope that’s the case!
Happy Holidays and happy shopping!
