With a month until Christmas, we could all use a little help getting our shopping done! The holiday season is a beautiful time, and we all love the feeling of watching someone open up a gift that we’re giving them. It’s also a time to share the positive vibes of the holidays, whether that means donating gifts to a toy drive, making meals for the homeless, or thinking about how our purchases affect people and the planet. The best gifts have a story behind them - so we’ve put together a list of our favourite ethical, sustainable and quality goods that are guaranteed to create smiles on Christmas morning. Check out Santa’s bag of ethical goodies!
