‘Tis the season to make a list and check it twice – and this year you’re doing it all on a budget.
It’s never a good time to cut corners on safe, clean ingredients in the name of sticking to a budget. So here’s your round up gift ideas that are both clean & affordable. You’ll find a “For Her” and “For Him” section and a compilation of gift ideas under $12 at the end. (Click each title to go straight to each product.)
For Her
Holiday Hues Nontoxic Nail Polish
These polishes from Terra Beauty Bars have the performance and durability of regular nail polish and none of the nasty ingredients like Toluene, Formaldehyde, Parabens or Acetone. How gorgeous is this set?
This soap is a thoughtful gift that that friend or family member that is always opening up her home and kitchen to those around her. Peppermint essential oil is so festive and also removes food smells (think onion and garlic) from hands after washing.
This trio of makeup must haves includes mascara, liquid eyeliner, and a 2-in-1 cheek and lip tint (every busy girl’s dream makeup product).
These gorgeous and lightweight earrings are hand made by a busy mama. Check out her store for all the unique options!
Phthalate Free Roll-on Perfume
This roll on set of natural perfumes features earthly, floral, musky, and tropical scents. Each scent also has a matching collection from Lemongrass Spa.
Winter Diffuser and Essential Oil Set
This adorable tree diffuser and oil blend set will fill your home with sweet, holiday scents – without toxins. Plant Therapy also has some lovely soy candles scented with essential oils.
Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin
Even the most sensitive skin will love this rich shaving creme. It is nonfoaming and enriched with shea and panthenol to leave skin so smooth all winter long.
For Him
Not exactly “clean beauty” but the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, right? EPIC makes grass-fed meat snacks without added junk. This sample pack contains 9 meat bars, including bison, venison, and different beefs.
Even a manly man needs an after-poo spray and his own hand soap scent. The guys in your life might not care that there are no parabens, sulfates or synthetic fragrances in here but I know you do.
You’ve probably heard of Patagonia but did you know that they have an entire line of secondhand items? Shop for pants, shirts and accessories in your guy’s size.
Under $12
Keep scrolling for stocking stuffers, friend or teacher gifts, or even something for yourself.
Skip the paper bag and wrap your gifts in this canvas one made by women in India. Every purchase of this gift tote helps support women overcoming disabilities, discrimination, and abuse in India.
This is not your average lip balm. This is the richest lip treatment in a convenient tube – and it smells like a freshly frosted cookie! Also available in Peppermint Stick. This would pair so well with a gift card to your local coffee shop.
This discovery-sized skincare set includes facial cleansing milk, a serum made with apple stem cells, and collagen eye creme. This is a powerhouse trio for smoothing and plumping skin.
These gorgeous hand-poured bar soaps have an incredible lather yet don’t contain any sulfates. Clean Slate is my husband’s and Lemongrass Signature is mine.
This gentle and nourishing balm is made with healing calendula, mango butter, and lavender. Plus, it smells like a cookie! Use it for eczema, diaper rashes, bug bites, burns, and dry patches of skin.
