So I might not be the blogger with the fanciest makeup & skincare gift guide, but to me, my gift guide rocks. True, I have no lip gloss trios, no pretty eye shadow sets, no fantastic serum that will change your skin, but I do have what I personally think are thee most important gifts of this season.
As you may or may not know, but I'm big, big, big into the environment. I'm also super into charity and helping people. I like things that are a win-win for everyone. I truly hope that you can find someone on your list who is wonderful enough to receive the ultimate gift...one that helps others and the Earth.
Happy Holidays and thank you so much for reading. It means so much to me, Katie
The Bogobrush A recent find for me. In fact, it was only a few days ago. I think this is BRILLIANT. I'm going to be ordering a year supply for $40. If you can find a toothbrush that looks sleeker than this, I'll be impressed. It's completely biodegradable and with each one purchased, a person in need receives one...I know, right? Do you have anyone on your list who will understand just how totally mind-blowing this is? We could potentially rid ourselves of the tons of plastic toothbrushes in the ocean and in landfills...what a thought! $10 each $40 for year's supply
The Glass Dharma Glass Straw Well, I've already written a post on how much I love my glass straw. It sits in my bag in its little hemp case and I'm beyond thrilled when I can stick it in my drink, knowing that I just saved some plastic. Could it be in my mind, or does everything just taste better out of this beautiful piece of glass? Get a bendy one, a straight one, one with little multi-colored dots on it...magnificent! $10 - $12 each
The FEED Bag This company has grown so much over the past few years and I find that really promising. Buy a bag, belt, bracelet, backpack, t-shirt, anything and help feed children in need. When disaster strikes, you can be sure that FEED will be one of the first to create a product to benefit the people suffering. What's more, the apparel, bags, etc. are very cool. When I see a chick walking around NYC with her FEED bag, well, I just know that she and I could definitely be friends. Prices vary
Hi, the toothbrush looks very funky :-)!!!

Sonja: Thanks for taking the time to post a comment...I know how busy everyone is. Yes, this is probably my favorite post thus far.
