13 Holiday Gifts Under $50 Any Woman Would Love
Gifts without the guilt. The holidays are coming up, and we'll all be spending our hard-earned dollars on who-knows-who-made-these-products-and-where-they'll-end-up. I've tried my best to navigate out of all of the mess and consolidated a list of fair-trade, eco-friendly, or vegan gift ideas your sister, girlfriend, or best friend will love. They're all so beautiful you almost forget that they're ethical! (Hey, what's that suppose to mean?)
$40.
This one is Barcelona "Orange Blossom".
It's handmade and a 100% natural vegetable blend.
$45.
If you're tired of your girlfriend stealing your Patagonia, get her this.
Made with U.S.-grown organic cotton and imprinted with PVC- and phthalate-free inks. Fair Trade Certified™ sewing.
$48.
Natural organic ingredients. Non-greasy — dewy and glowing.
4. Soko Petite Paddle Stud Earrings
$40.
Inspired by Maasai culture in Africa. This company employs Kenyan women fairly and is one of my favorites. Minimalistic design. Recycled brass.

$35.
Made with innovative plant-based material, formulated to only break down 100% in a composting environment #zerowaste.
Planning on switching to this case after I save up for an iPhone X as they manufacture in Canada with fair wages.

$42.
A water-based product that's good for on-the go skin moisturizer.
I would never spend $42 on myself for something so small, but for someone else? Oh, yeah.
$49.
Grown alchemist uses technology and natural ingredients to revolutionize anti-aging skincare.
"It is now not only preferable, but finally possible, to achieve real beauty results without harmful chemicals."
$28.
When your girlfriend/bestfriend/sister is the type of girl who's just not that into skincare & beauty and would rather chill at home.
Warning: NOT Vegan as they are made from soft, natural alpaca wool that's much better for the environment than similar fabrics like cashmere. Also fair-trade.
10. Swell Reformation Custom Bottle
$35.
You know what they say the secret to beauty is — water. Added this one to my secret santa wish-list.
Eco-Friendly: BPA-free and reusable.
"S'well supports charity partners that protect our environment, bring clean water to the world's poorest communities, and fund research to live longer, healthier lives."
11. Patagonia Beanie
$45.
Can you tell I love Patagonia? It's a damn shame I don't own one piece of Patagonia clothing (*hint*).
Patagonia has been one of the first companies to ever have gone fair-trade and sustainable. OGs, if you ask me.
$19.99.
For the next year, 5% off all Hibiscus Mask sales on swbasics.com will be donated to Keep a Breast, a pioneering breast cancer education and prevention organization!
Equally as great of a mask is CocoKind's Chlorophyll Mask.

Who carries cash these days anyways?
