Conscious gifts for adventure seekers and nature lovers
It's that wonderful time of year again, when the air is crisp and everything seems just a little bit more magical. People smile a little more than usual, and you’re spending extra time with loved ones.
Though the holiday season can often feel like a frenzy of consumerism, my hope is that you seek first to support local and small businesses, finding meaningful gifts that will not only delight the recipient, but make an impact for good, too. I've put together this gift guide to suggest some beautiful and meaningful gift ideas for the adventure-loving woman on your list.
Each of these gifts are respectful to our wild places in one way or another - whether by careful choices in their processes and materials, by inspiring us to better enjoy and care for nature, or by directly supporting conservation efforts.
