1. August Teas: All the Teas Sampler

A tea lover’s personal paradise: a thirty tea sampler kit for unique blends and flavors. Three major types of teas: herbal, green/oolong, and black. Each tea bag details the leaves and add-ons plus the ~vibes~ the tea invokes. In total it is 120 cups of tea which will last well through the winter.

Pros:

Various, high quality teas that can be steeped for up to three times
4 cups worth of tea in every package
I enjoyed a majority of the teas (faves are the Psychocandy and Neon Forest flavors)

Cons:

Wish the plastic packaging came in something cuter and more sustainable, like glass
Not great for picky tea drinkers

Price point: $99.99 at time of publication ($136.48 normally)

2. Hai: Smart Showerhead

A water saving shower head is the ‘it’ item for 2024 and Hai offers a sustainable system that hooks up to your phone to track water usage. The handheld showerhead has a nifty slider to adjust the spray from high-pressure all the way to a gentle mist. Customizable LED lights show when the water is heated up which is a major plus.

Pros:

Easy to install with a few tools
Fun to track water usage (money on water bills<money on bao buns)
Comes in cute colors (I recommend pink or yellow!!)

Cons:

Cord can be a bit short for tall people
Doesn’t filter water

Cost: $129 at the time of publication ($199 normally)

3. Sans Savon: Starter Set

Moisturize winter skin, not with lotion, but oil-based soaps from Sans Savon. A Canadian brand, Sans Savon uses fermented oils, esters, and fatty alcohols to cleanse and hydrate skin without disrupting the microbiome. Their Starter Set includes a 500ml Hand Wash, 500ml Body Wash, 90g Body Bar, and Body Scrubber. Post-wash, the skin is left softer, healthier, and moisturized after continuous use (plus lightly scented!)

Pros

Smells like getting lost in a winter evergreen forest (with notes of blue spruce and peppermint)
Social good: Vegan, 100% post consumer recycled plastic, biodegradable, etc
Cute in the bathroom and lasts a long time

Cons

Can be a learning curve with the no foam formula
Liquid body wash is a bit on the thinner side which can be difficult to know if it’s on the skin especially while showering

Price: $90 for the four piece collection

4. Free Yourself: Votive Gift Set

Embody your inner freedom with the Votive Gift Set from Free Yourself. A brand crafted in Grasse, France has rolled out four fragrances inspired by the four elements. These 4 oz candles last a good while with a good scent throw and minimalistic yet chic packaging. They offer bigger sizes in their line and even perfumes (which I tested the sampler set, 10/10 terre is my favorite).

Pros:

4 scents that are uniquely different yet sophisticated for a night in or entertaining guests
Hand poured in Vermont (my favorite state!!)
Impactful messaging to free yourself from fears and worries

Cons:

Wicks can be weak and fall apart quickly if not burning carefully
Wish candles were brighter but not the candle’s fault

Price: $175 (or if that’s out of your wheelhouse try the perfume samples for under 50 dollars)

5. Heyhae: Gel Nail Strips

Gel Mani with a twist… UV curing in under five minutes. An indie brand that offers cute styles that start with the phrase “Hey, It’s…” Glam Night or You’re So Kind or Wanna Brunch? Adorable and affordable strips that range from sparkles, houndstooth, abstract art and pretty gradients. Long lasting gel and easy to remove without nail damage— Heyhae is perfect for as a stocking stuffer.

Pros:

Cruelty-free
Simple designs that look intricate from a distance
Variety of sizes in the pack

Cons:

A bit of a learning curve to put on
Can take a bit of time to let it cure in the sun so patience is key

Price: $13.00 per pack

6. Sodii: Electrolyte Hydration Mix

Water is the elixir of life, yet overhydrating without salt can be harsh on the body. Add a scoop of Sodii, an electrolyte mix from Australia, to the daily routine. Packed with 1000mg of sodium from Lake Deborah, a salt lake in Western Australia that’s over five million years old. It also contains 210mg of potassium to balance fluid in the blood, and 70mg of magnesium to assist in functions like the body’s energy system and muscle wellness. Sodii comes in a variety of flavors that all taste fruity and a bit salty (in a delicious way of course). Ditch Liquid IV for Sodii in the New Year.

Pros:

Comes in various sizes for on the go use or at home scoops
A good selection of flavors, including a sample pack to taste all of them (I adore the Pineapple and Passionfruit flavors)
Mixes well into water, regardless of temperature

Cons:

Can be a bit too salty when you first try it (but you can add more or less depending on your preference)

Price: $11-$43.79

Once a month when blood flows and staying under the sheets is a necessity, make it cozy and cute with Dear Kate period undies. Dear Kate is crafted with three absorbent layers that are anti-microbial, leak resistant, and breathable. Most importantly there are no plastic films or PUL, which can cause health issues. The panties feel like the softest bikini fabric which doesn’t bunch or leave pantie lines. Reusable period undies from Dear Kate is the gift that keeps on giving for years to come.

Pros:

Various styles from hipsters, thongs, and briefs which hold various amounts of blood
Dear Kate gives back at the Center for Safety & Change, which provides life-saving and changing services to people in New York
Dear Kate is designed and manufactured in NYC!

Cons:

Can be on the pricey side compared to other brands but pays off over cost per use
The leg holes can run a bit smaller so I suggest sizing up if you have thick thighs!

Price: $19-$44

8. Urb Apothecary: Vegan Skincare

Gift nourishment for the skin with Urb Apothecary products, a woman owned small business that focuses on cruelty free, plant powered, and handcrafted products.
