Holiday Tips from Wellness Category Manager, Lauren Bartel: 

Seasonal and Specialty Foods

• Organic baking ingredients: If you’re baking vegan treats this holiday season, try Dr. Bronner’s ROC-Certified Virgin Coconut Oil as a butter alternative.

Gourmet Gift Items

• Gift baskets: Consider packaging your gifts in a one-of-a-kind, handmade Fairtrade basket from Ayeya. Encourage your customers to incorporate sustainability into their holiday season!

Sustainable and Eco-friendly Products

• Reusable gift wrap and packaging: Matr Boomie offers a lovely assortment of sustainable and Fair-Trade gift wraps – from bags to paper to upcycled sari cloth wrappings.

• Zero-waste stocking stuffers: Bee Lucia, Goodlight, and Big Dipper Waxworks offer beautiful, giftable candles. Klean Kanteen has a wide range of beverage containers and reusable straws. If you’re looking for body care products, Badger offers a lovely assortment of balms, Inesscents has glorious bath salts, and Weleda has rich hand and body lotions.

• Sustainable household products: Food Huggers are a wonderful option for cooks concerned with reducing food waste. Moon Valley Organics offers fun and festive seasonally scented foaming hand soap.

Health and Wellness Products
