THE ECO-FRIENDLY & WELLNESS HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2020


Regardless of events over the course of a year, the holiday season finds its way.  Suffice to say, many are less than prepared this year, and the forthcoming arrangements and gift-giving pose many challenges.  But if we consider the spirit of the season and perceive these challenges as opportunities, we not only see light at the end of the tunnel but see the beauty in letting those we love know how much we cherish them and their well-being. 

So gather your thoughts and exhale a secret sigh of relief that the mall and long lines are not an option, and focus on gifts that are not only wellness-centered but safe for the planet and promise a brighter future.
