What’s something literally every woman wants, no matter their age? That’s easy: beautiful, youthful skin. 100% Pure’s skincare line delivers just that with a huge range of naturally healing and age-defying plant-based products, many of which our staff members use religiously.

Their Rose Water Face Mist and Rose Water Gel Cleanser are incredibly refreshing and hydrating, thanks in part to rose water’s anti-inflammatory properties. The former is a gentle, aromatic spritz that helps balance and calm the skin, making it ideal for a quick refresh throughout the day, while the Rose Water Gel Cleanser helps cleanse away the day’s struggles without stripping the skin’s natural moisture.

And while technically more makeup than skincare, their Fruit Pigmented® Blush deserves a mention, too, since it’s just as much a skincare tool as a cosmetic one. With thoughtfully selected ingredients like pomegranate extract to reduce wrinkles and brighten, plus goji berry for collagen support and elasticity, this blush doesn’t just add color—it nourishes and protects for a healthy, radiant glow.

My Personal Review of 100% Pure’s Organic Rosehip Oil:

“I prefer oil-based moisturizing to lotions because, ironically enough, I find oils to be far less oily. This one is no exception. Despite it being pure and completely concentrated rosehip oil, I’m astounded at how quickly my skin eats it up. I like to use it on wounds, too, as I think it really helps heal and lighten scars, as well as on my face because I think it gives my skin a really vibrant look.”

Activewear

Price Range: $35–$228

But we can’t lounge around ALL day (or, we shouldn’t so they say…). But forget jewelry; sustainable activewear is a girl’s real best friend, ESPECIALLY if that activewear means leggings.

tentree’s In Motion High Rise Leggings are everything a woman needs in a pair of leggings: squat-proof, tummy supporting, and made of buttery soft recycled fabric.

If your gal gets her burn from turns on the ski slopes or other winter activities, their Cloud Shell Puffer, which is available in regular and long lengths—in case your lady likes to keep her bum also covered outside since leggings aren’t always the warmest! This light and packable puffer is perfect for all kinds of uses thanks to its recycled PrimaLoft® Black ThermoPlume filling that’s warm without risking our continually warming planet.

Loungewear

Price Range: $55–$115

Blurry Recreation‘s unisex loungewear offers cozy comfort with a sustainable, sporty edge. Made from a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, each piece is OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring it’s free from harmful chemicals and perfect for all-day wear.

Blurry Recreation is a fully made-in-the-USA brand that specializes in small capsule collections, like the current Daytona collection. If you know a woman who likes NASCAR, this collection is on-point. But even if she’s not much of a sports gal, the loungewear is so soft that it could be appreciated by anyone who just digs a cozy vibe, especially given the Decision Time sweats are mostly white with a more subdued graphic presence.

My Personal Review of Blurry Recreation’s Decision Time Hoodie:

“The fabric of Blurry Recreation’s Decision Time Hoodie is incredibly soft, with just the right amount of weight to feel cozy but not too heavy, making it perfect for layering. The fit is relaxed and flattering. Their sizes are unisex and I typically wear a women’s small and the unisex small provided the perfect slouchy fit I like in a hoodie (though note I am happy I got their XS in sweats). I’m also an embroidery artist, so I know I thing or two about quality stitchwork. The very first thing I noticed when unboxing this was how incredibly well-built and reinforced all the seam work is, so I’m stoked to be able to wear this for years and years…even though I’m not personally much of a NASCAR fan! The comfort alone is key for me.

Yoga Mats & Accessories

Price Range: $85–$242

Wellness is a winning gift idea, and an eco-friendly yoga mat is a key tool for developing better movement habitswhether she’s a yogi or just reaching her toes.

Say namaste to the Sustainable Non-Slip Jute Yoga Mat by Complete Unity Yoga. What separates it from traditional options is sustainable materials like jute fibers mixed with ethically harvested natural rubber. The non-slip bottom and grippy top is really appreciated in our tester’s experience.

If the yogi in your life needs yoga accessories, open your heart chakras to Scoria. They have a wide selection of props, blocks, pads, and accessories, mostly made from low-impact materials like cork, wood, GOTS-certified organic cotton, and recyclable carcinogen-free ABS foam. If she’s a beginner, opt for their blocks and straps to help her slowly work into deeper stretches, but if she’s a yoga pro, the Illuminate Yoga Wheel is an excellent way to add a new and exciting level of challenge to any practice.

My Personal Review of Complete Unity Yoga’s Non-Slip Yoga Mat:

“Complete Unity claims this will be the grippiest yoga mat you’ve ever tried, and with their 4mm mat, I’d say they’ve nailed it. The natural rubber and jute combination creates an unbeatable grip both on the floor and on top, so no matter how sweaty my practice gets, I stay completely grounded. Their 100% money-back guarantee? I’d say they won’t be needing it.”

My Personal Review of Scoria’s Illuminate Cork Yoga Wheel:

“The Illuminate Cork Yoga Wheel has brought a whole new level to my practice, and it’s been a game-changer. It’s challenging at first, but using it instead of blocks has boosted my core strength and balance like nothing else. Plus, it is SO GOOD for a nice spinal stretch! With its moon-phase cork design and recyclable ABS core, it’s so beautiful that it serves as decor when not in use.”

Sweaters

Price Range: $100–$249

Some ladies like to keep it simple, and there’s nothing complex about a cozy, sustainable sweater.

Frank And Oak offers a huge range of stylish sweaters, including everything from chunky turtlenecks to classic cardigans, crafted in organic cotton, recycled wool, super-soft yak wool, and some unique propriety fabrics that utilize uncommon ocean waste like seaweed and oyster shells.

A standout piece is their Yak Wool V Neck, featuring a preppy argyle design that proves argyle is anything but dead or condemned to her old prep-school days. Yak wool is considered just as soft as cashmere, but far less impactful on both the environment and the animals from which it comes, especially since Frank And Oak’s is ethically sourced from Himalayan yak.

My Personal Review of Frank And Oak’s Ara Seacell™ Sweater:

“This was my first time trying seaweed fabric, and I have to say, I’m a fan of this sweater. The silky ribbed knit is not only pleasant to the touch but also offers a stylish, flattering fit without clinging too much. I generally lean towards oversized sweaters, and this one finds the perfect balance. Plus, it’s a nice mid-weight piece, making it wearable across different seasons rather than just in the chillier months.”

Handbags

Price Range: $20–$357

Luxury environmental gifts don’t have to break the bank. You can purchase high-quality, ethical gifts for her on a budget, like the handbags from Pixie Mood. The climate-positive brand has a diverse selection of chic backpacks, purses, totes, clutches, bucket bags, and crossbody bags, made of materials like recycled vegan leather and cork. You could even give two gifts in one with the Jane 2-in-1 Crossbody, which features a clutch wallet and purse, that can be cleverly integrated together or used individually.

Or, if you’re looking for a bigger option and are willing to spend a bit more on it, LaBante has luxury in the bag with their best-selling Sophie Tote, a spacious bag perfect for the office, errands, or day trips. The PETA-approved black leather-like texture is phenomenal, so she doesn’t have to worry about spills, scratches, or damage. They also have a broad spectrum of vegan tote bags, crossbody bags, laptop satchels, hobo bags, wallets, and rucksacks.

My Personal Review of Pixie Mood’s Jane 2-in-1 Crossbody:

The Jane 2-in-1 Crossbody makes a great daily driver, as it doubles as a wallet with adjustable straps and durable magnetic latches. I often use the wallet alone, and it’s so easy to unclip and head out the door. The vegan leather looks super stylish and goes with any outfit. For all these reasons, it’s firmly my favorite purse”.

My Personal Review of LaBante’s Sophie Tote:

“I was super excited to try out LaBante’s top-selling Sophie Tote. The black leather-like material is seriously stunning—it’s honestly the best faux leather bag I’ve ever seen. Plus, the boxy shape means it’s super spacious without being bulky. I can fit a 32 oz plastic-free water bottle and my lunch canister in the main slot, and there’s still plenty of room for my everyday stuff and all those ‘just in case’ items. It’s become my go-to for a personal item when I fly.”

Jewelry

Price Range: $14–$13,800

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” Although the saying might be overused, green and gold gifts are a win for that really special someone.

Speaking of, Catbird has a broad catalog of green gifts for women that are truly the cat’s meow. Their jewelry is handmade in their Brooklyn studio out of recycled metals, lab-grown diamonds, conflict-free precious gems, sustainably harvested freshwater pearls, and fair-trade gold. Necklaces like the Slumberous Light Ring are effortlessly attractive and elegant. It features a “moody”, rose-cut black diamond flanked by two white diamonds and set in 100% recycled 14k gold.

If you’re going all-in on this year’s gift and are ready to pop the question, Catbird also makes sustainable wedding rings.

Makeup

Price Range: $4–$74

Animal testing, artificial dyes, and harmful ingredients give us the ick. That’s why we recommend revamping her beauty routine with brands that care about animal welfare, like Dab Herb. They create “medicinal makeup” using natural, food-grade, organic, and vegan formulas.

You’ll find nourishing ingredients like unrefined avocado oil, cocoa butter, and unrefined grapeseed oil in the Organic Herb Lip Paint. The soft, creamy balm moisturizes the lips while it tints them, and is available in four colors with finishes ranging from sheer, high-gloss to satin.

My Personal Review of Dab Herb’s Herb Lip Paint:

“Dab Herb’s Herb Lip Paint is a real treat for your lips! It’s a balm-meets-lipstick that’s smooth and super nourishing—plus, it’s made with all food-grade ingredients, so no worries there. The color comes from natural plant pigments like beetroot and cherries, and the avocado and hemp oils give my lips the perfect moisture boost. I also loved the nude shade for a simple, natural look, but it seems like that one’s no longer available.”

Lingerie

Price Range: $20–$446

Now what about something a bit more sexy for that really special lady in your life?

Understatement’s lingerie is a gift that combines comfort and confidence—across a range of lace bralettes, bras, cheeky briefs, and high-waisted lace thongs made for women made by women. Made from recycled materials with soft, breathable fabrics, each piece is designed to feel as good as it looks. With modern, minimalist designs and thoughtful details, like options to have double layers for those who want to keep things a bit more modest, a gift from Understatement will certainly not feel underwhelming.

My Personal Review of Understatement’s Lace Plunge Bralette & Lace High Waist Briefs:

“Lingerie isn’t usually my thing, but these lacy numbers are my go-to when I want to dress up for something special. I personally combine the Lace Plunge Bralette with the Lace High Waist Briefs for a seductive fit—all in Saboteur black. Both feature recycled nylon, but the Bralette doesn’t skimp out on comfort with its double-layered cups.”

Shoes

Price Range: $97–$250

If leather shoes are on the table (er, floor) check out Nisolo, a Certified B Corp does everything right regarding their closet of flats, mules, sandals, oxfords, loafers, sandals, and boots, like the ultra classy Ana Go-To Heeled Chelsea Boot, a solid choice right down to its chunky and stable wooden heel. They partner with certified Leather Working Group (LWG) tanneries to curate ethically sourced leather, a meat industry’s by-product.

For vegans, VIVAIA’s trendy styles will keep her on her toes. The recycled shoe brand crafts its styles from recycled and plant-based materials, including herbal foam, rice husks, and carbon-free natural rubber. The Melody Slingback is ideal for a night out on the town with its trendy square toe and modest heel made from recycled resources. The heel features the AdaptAll Strap™, allowing for a wide range of adaptability and flexibility.

My Personal Review of Nisolo’s Ana Heeled Chelsea Boot:

“I’ve been wearing the Ana Heeled Chelsea Boot, which features a 2.5” chunky wooden heel, a breathable and water-resistant upper, and memory foam cushioned insoles. They’ve fast become my go-to pair of boots as they are comfortable enough to wear all day long and their classic look means they pair with practically any outfit. They’ve also proven to be super durable, so I’d recommend them to anyone seeking something versatile for all seasons and occasions.”

My Personal Review of VIVAIA’s Melody Slingback Heels:

“I’ve always been a fan of the classy slingback look; unfortunately, I’m not a fan of heels. But the Melody Slingbacks strike the perfect middle ground, giving me the cute and classy look of heels in a comfortable low-rise package that doesn’t make me feel like I’m about to roll my ankle with each step. Plus, as with all their shoes I’ve tested, the recycled stretch knit uppers are just so soft and forgiving on the feet.”

Kitchen Goodies

Price Range: $100–$1,090

Say goodbye to flimsy, toxic Teflon pans and hello to Our Place.

The Always Pan 2.0 makes for a practical gift, as it can replace all kinds of other cookware, cutting down on both toxins and clutter in the kitchen. The 10.5-inch pan does everything—braising, searing, steaming, sauteing, boiling, baking, and serving. It features the innovative Thermakind™ ceramic non-stick coating that contains no harmful materials like PFAS, PTFEs, PFOAs, lead, or cadmium. They also have a mini version for those who cook single-serve meals more.

If she’s more of a baker, consider something from Caraway. The non-toxic cookware brand has many kitchen essentials, like stainless steel pots, pans, bakesheets, cake tins, and food storage, but we’re in loaf with their bakeware.The 11-piece ceramic-coated Bakeware Set is beloved by many bakers for its non-toxic coating without toxic compounds. The gift box set contains baking necessities, including two baking sheets, muffin tins, multiple square pans, two circle pans, a cooling rack, and storage.

My Personal Review of Caraway’s Bakeware Set:

“Besides bread, I’ve never really been into baking because I can’t stand those toxic non-stick sprays. But then I discovered Caraway, and it was a total game-changer! The non-toxic ceramic coating and a little coconut oil mean my muffins and cakes just slide out like magic, and cleanup is super easy. With the handy slots and the nesting design, I can stash the whole bakeware set in a small area, which is a real bonus in a small kitchen.”

My Personal Review of Our Place’s Mini Pan:

“Our Place’s Mini Pan (which is just like the Always Pan but smaller) has been a total game-changer in our kitchen! Both my partner and I often cook single meals just for ourselves, and this little pan is the perfect size for personal portions. It heats evenly, cleans up easily, and takes up hardly any space, which is great for our small kitchen. I love that it’s cute and functional—it’s become our go-to pan for everything from sautees to stir-fries.”
