Your sustainable Christmas gift guide
With Christmas around the corner it’s time to start thinking about what to gift our loved ones. There are of course many ways of showing your love and appreciation in a non-material way. For example, you can take your friend out for dinner, take your sister to the Spa or spend an afternoon hiking with your partner. But for those who would like to buy something for the holiday season, I have created this Gift Guide with my favorite items to shop. All brands are sustainable of course and can be found on my website as well.
FOR YOUR HOME
Coconut Bowls. Coconut Bowls offers not only beautiful coconut bowls, but also wooden cutlery, bamboo cups and lovely coconut candles. All products are biodegradable and are never exposed to any chemicals and the local artisans who make Coconut Bowls´ products are paid a fair wage. And even better, you can enjoy 10% off with code MYGG10!
Frank Green. One of my favorite reusables brands is Frank Green. Their bottles and cups are so beautiful and make for the perfect sustainable gift under the Christmas tree. Available in soft colors and neo shades, in different sizes for men, women and kids, at Frank Green you can find a present for everyone.
Isle de Nature. The non-toxic, sustainable candles by Isle de Nature not only smell amazing; the luxurious design makes them an addition to any living room or bed room (or just any room period :)). Isle de Nature candles are the perfect gift for those who believe the truest form is luxury is nature.
FOR YOUR SKIN
BAO Laboratory. BAO´s high-quality Canadian-made products are naturally sourced and scientifically developed. Only high-quality ingredients are used and you can feel that. I am so in love with the Lotus Squalene (plant-based) Healing Facial Oil, which makes for the ideal gift for your girlfriend, wife, mother or yourself!
U Beauty. U Beauty’s Resurfacing Compound is the rock star of luxury vegan skincare and quickly diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, and redness. If you want to gift someone the ultimate gift of perfect, glowing skin, look no further.

FOR YOUR HAIR
MASAMI. All of MASAMI's products are infused with Mekabu - a small, miraculous ocean botanical- powder, fresh from Japan where we source it from a family owned seaweed company. MASAMI’s clean formulations leave your hair healthy, shiny and gorgeous and all the products smell insanely good.
Earth Harbor. Earth Harbor brings you formulas for hard, body and face that replace toxic synthetic ingredients with their safe botanical superiors. The Beach Waves Hair Texturizer is a must for my every day hair routine, as it gives my hair the ultimate beach style volume. Another great product for your hair is Sunstone Hair Revive Elixir which nourishes, and revives dull or damaged hair.

Vitamin A Swim. One can never have too many bikinis so to give a bikini is always a good idea! :) Vitamin A Swim has been my favorite swimwear brand for a while because they have so many different styles and patterns, all of which have the same luxury feel and look. Now they even have a collection made from plants, perfect to make a good impression with your Christmas gift!
Organic Basics. Organic Basics is a Copenhagen based clothing brand that makes high-quality, eco-friendly basics for men and for women. Organic Basic products feel superset on the skin and I love the colors of the collections. One gift that fits perfectly under the tree is a product from the Tencel underwear line, for example the Tencel lite bralette.
