If you have a few people left to buy for, and you’d rather shop from your bed than brave the freezing, crowded streets, here are ten ideas for instant gifts from ethical brands.

  1. Monthly Flower Subsctiption. Fresh flowers from a curated collection grown by eco-friendly farms, delivered at variable intervals. From $44 a month.
  2. Health Coaching Consultation. Suzanne specializes in working with busy moms who want to make healthy eating simpler and less time-consuming. Suzanne can help women learn to read food labels with ease, stock pantries, and get kids eating healthier snacks. You can select a date in the calendar, and if the timing doesn’t work, the recipient can reschedule. From $175.
  3. Alltruista Boxes. Creative, kid-friendly volunteer projects created in partnership with amazing nonprofits. $55.
  4. Craft Box Subscription. There are kits for all ages and interests, and Doodle is the best one for crafty kids ages nine and up. From $16 a month.
  5. Clean Beauty Gift Card. Ilia is tops when it comes to performance–so there is truly no better intro to safer cosmetic. From $25.
  6. Annual Membership to Alo Moves. My favorite online service for fitness, yoga, and meditation. $99.
  7. Sakara Gift Card. They can redeem for nutritious, plant-based meals or snacks, delivered. From $50. Use code XOMAIA for 20% off.
  8. Clean Wine Subscription. You can subscribe a friend, or just send them one shipment of a few hangover-free bottles of organic wine. Every bottle is lab-tested for purity and taste-tested for drinkability. From $88.
  9. Organic Meal Kits. Yummy meals come together in minutes with organic ingredients. From $100.
  10. Gift Card for Good Stuff. Let them pick whatever they want from our online store–which is full of hand-picked non-toxic products that I’ve personally used and loved. From $25.
