I’m thinking about the holidays a little earlier than usual this year. Many companies are offering holiday deals earlier than ever to allow for extended shipping times, so I wanted to take advantage of these as well. This 2023 holiday gift list contains all of our favorite gifts we’ve given and received as a family over the years. As much as possible, all these gifts are eco-friendly and limit plastic whenever possible. They are also largely natural, organic, or health promoting.
My 2023 Holiday Gift Giving Guide: Natural + Eco-Friendly!
Before jumping into the ultimate list, here are some other gift guides I’ve put together that might spark just the right idea for someone special:
If you’re looking for the mega master gift list, keep scrolling! Christmas & Holiday Gift Ideas: Favorites for the Family in 2023
I’ve included my favorite gifts for every member of the family, age group, and interest level, so keep scrolling if you need ideas for a specific family member. They go in rough age order (from Mom and Dad to kids/babies) and then special interest gift ideas are below that (for the chef, the grandparents, white elephant gifts, etc). Here we go!
Gifts for Her (That She Won’t Just Pretend She Loves)
As a kid, we always got my mom new kitchen gear and equipment as gifts. I remember feeling a little guilty because my brother and I got toys and fun gifts, and I always thought she got the short end of the stick just getting kitchen items that she used for us. Then, I became a mom myself and developed a love for cooking, and now I get just as excited about new kitchen essentials!
This list includes some of the best practical (and some pampering) gifts for moms, wives, sisters, and best friends.
Annmarie Gianni Skincare – Their trial pack is a great stocking stuffer as well as a great way to try their products. I love their cleanser and the anti-aging serum!
Amazon Prime Gift Card – Let her get (almost) everything she wants with an Amazon gift card.
Real Plans Membership – My biggest time saver – this plans all of my meals and shopping lists and can handle allergies, bulk prep day, and more!
Shiatsu Massage Pillow – Seriously rivals an actual massage for half the price.
Hydro Flask Water Bottle – The water bottle I use that keeps water cool (or hot) for days.
Complete Facial Kit – Amazing facial oil with the highest quality ingredients and no junk.
Purity Coffee – If you’re looking for a perfect cup of joe, look no further. Team this up with a coffee maker and you have a perfect gift for any mom, wife, or best friend!
Dry Farm Wines – If she doesn’t like coffee, maybe wine is the way to her heart. I had the opportunity to visit the vineyards with the Dry Farm team a few years ago and I can’t recommend their natural wines enough. They are keto and paleo-friendly, sugar-free, lower alcohol, and organic!
Wake-up Light Gentle Alarm Clock – Wake up gently to gradual light and sound
Himalayan Salt Lamp – Soothing warm orange glow at night from these beautiful lamps. I like this one because it’s unique and is really pretty to look at!
Blue Blocker Glasses – I wear these after dark for better sleep (some studies show that avoiding blue light after dark helps melatonin levels). There are some fun colors and patterns to play with.
10,000 Lux Light – Feel blue in the winter? I use this super-bright light to keep my cortisol levels healthy.
Anything Le Creuset – Incredible (but pricey) dishes. I’ve been collecting a few pieces over the years and resisting the urge to buy it all!
French Press Coffee Maker – Make wonderful coffee with this classic method. (And see above for the perfect coffee to use with this!)
Instant Pot – Revolutionize dinner! This electric pressure cooker makes roasts in about an hour and turns tough cuts of meat into deliciously tender meals.
Grown-up Coloring Book and Markers – Coloring isn’t for kids anymore and studies show it may reduce stress levels. Try a “grown-up coloring book.”
Music – I love to fill our house with Christmas music this time of the year. Whether it’s on while we decorate or when we’re opening presents, it’s a must-have for our family. Another functional option is music by Wholetones as they offer therapeutic music to help Mom sleep or relax.
A good book – Just off the top of my head… maybe The Wellness Mama 5-Step Lifestyle Detox or The Wellness Mama Cookbook? 🙂 Ok, I’m biased, but it’s a great way to have all of the best recipes and health hacks on the site at your fingertips.
Always Pan – This all-in-one pan makes cooking and cleanup a breeze. It comes in different colors and brings some fun into the kitchen!
Plant Therapy has some amazing lotions, body butters, and essential oils! They create everything with high-quality essential oils and are one of the most transparent brands I know.
Anything from Wellnesse – My personal care line has everything from shampoo to hand sanitizer to toothpaste!
Gifts for Him (No Ties or PJs on This List)
I’ve always had the most difficult time finding good gifts for the men in my life. Here are some of their favorite gifts in recent years that might be perfect for the guys on your list too.
Magnetic Wrist Band – Holds nails and screws for the handyman!
Fire Starter Kit – Useful tool from our favorite outdoor brand to start fires without matches or a lighter.
Leather Toiletry Bag – This is a great gift for the guy who loves to travel and can use a fancy way to organize his toiletries.
Meat (and anything else!) Spices – Many of you know Laila Ali (daughter of the great Muhammad Ali) has created an amazing line of spice blends. The GOAT seasoning was inspired by the way the legendary boxer preferred his favorite cheeseburger and is a favorite in our…
