Christmas is a magical time of year. We have the opportunity to show the ones we love that we care with thoughtful and fun gifts. What if the gift you gave could also give back to someone in need?
I have partnered with Whole Foods this holiday to open your eyes to a few of my favorite products they sell that also give back!
Check it out:
- African Market Baskets – These are the bomb. Not only are they cute but they are soooo versatile. Great for gardening or decoration. Heck, throw all the other items in this guide in it as a giant gift basket. The coolest part is that by purchasing them, you are helping to provide healthcare and school supplies for the weavers, their families, and their villages.
- Thistle Farms Soy Wax Candle – This one really touched my heart. Not only does it smell amazing, but they are handmade by survivors of prostitution, trafficking and addiction. Their slogan is “Love heals.” All the feels.
- Alaffia Soap – They are one of the big dogs at Whole Foods and I love all of their products but the soaps make the perfect “thinking of you” gift. Plus proceeds go to helping with reforestation, school construction and so much more in West Africa.
- Global Girlfriend Christmas Ornament – I know you will probably have an ornament exchange you have to attend, so why not get one that helps provide opportunities for women in 20 countries! Plus their adorbs.
- Savannah Bee Hand Cream and Lip Balm – Who doesn’t love a gift that pampers?! Plus this company donates bee hives to schools to help educate them on bees and their importance in our environment!
- Threads 4 Thought Gloves and Scarf – This brand has a lot going for them: We basically have the same name (lol) and they are all about sustainability! And how cute is this infinity scarf?!
Whole Foods really is my one stop shop y’all. I can go there to get groceries, grab a freshly made latte while I shop and now I can get Christmas gifts too! Oh and don’t miss all their sales starting next week…I’ll def be hitting them up for December 20th’s deal 😉 .
Disclosure: I have a partnership with Whole Foods Market and was compensated for my work. All words and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support me!
love love love love love this. will def be purchasing the love heals candles <3333
i had no idea about the 12 Days of Gifting, can’t wait to check it out 🙂
Love this! It’s so important to give back not just during the holidays but all year-long. I’ve made it one of my new years resolutions. This is a great way to get started!!

This is great! Giving back is so important and I want to do more of it in 2017.
Oh this is so great!! Love this list of things and great deals from Whole Foods!
I love the idea of gifting a gift like this!!! So many great small little shops to support!
I love the premise behind this gift list — not only are you giving a gift to the person you bought it for, but your’e giving a gift back to the maker and the hope behind the creation of these products
I love this post! Whole Foods does a great job of giving back and love that you featured this!
