I’ve been getting a bunch of requests for a holiday gift guide, so today I’ve gathered up the best clean beauty and low tox living gifts.

This is my personal curation for people who like natural and non toxic living, and you get a little bit of everything, usually at a better price than buying each item on its own. Plus, some brands have already started their Black Friday sales early!

I Tried OGEE Rosy All Day Set

OGEE is one of my favorite certified organic makeup brands, and the Rosy All Day set is a pretty, rose-inspired trio for cheeks and lips that’s perfect for anyone on the fence about organic makeup. There’s NO plastics, silicones, and petroleum, and their products are certified organic, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and made in the USA. The gift set includes the Sculpted Face Stick in Rose Quartz, a creamy, buildable cheek color with a radiant, skin-like finish, the Beyond Clean Lip Gloss in Wild Rose, and the Tinted Sculpted Lip Oil in Rosalia, a sheer, luminous tint that hydrates and conditions. Each formula is made with organic plant oils like olive, jojoba, and coconut, plus ceramides to keep lips soft and smooth.

I tried Our Place Wonder Oven Pro

I’ve been so impressed by Our Place’s Wonder Oven Pro (after being disappointed by the original version) and I think it would be an incredible gift for anyone looking to reduce their toxic exposure in the kitchen (I also have a non-toxic air fryer guide and slow cooker guide). Wonder Oven Pro is a do-it-all countertop oven and air fryer in one that air fries, bakes, roasts, toasts, broils, reheats, proofs and dehydrates, with room for a whole roast chicken or a 12-inch pizza. I can confirm that the Wonder Oven Pro is a MAJOR upgrade from the original with quartz heating elements that preheat faster and cook more quickly, a sleek touchscreen in place of the old knobs, and a steam infusion feature that adds a little moisture so food crisps on the outside without drying out. It’s made mostly of stainless steel and glass with PFAS-free finishes, and like everything from Our Place, it’s pretty enough to leave out on the counter.

I Tried MERIT x ERDEM Winter Gift Set

MERIT’s limited-edition holiday collaboration with British fashion designer ERDEM is a dream for anyone who loves minimalist, clean makeup that looks like it costs over a hundred bucks but doesn’t. The set comes in a custom gift box covered in ERDEM’s signature florals, and it includes four of MERIT’s best-sellers, with two shades made exclusively for the season. Inside, you get Day Glow highlighting balm in Tulle, a new rose bronze, Mini Flush Balm in Carnation, a soft warm pink cream blush, Solo Shadow Sheen in Mink, a soft brown-grey shimmer, and the Mini Clean Volume Mascara in Black. It’s everything you need for an easy, glowy holiday look. The set is vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free, and it’s made without parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and mineral oil.

I Tried MAWEICAO Incense Set

For someone who loves a calming ritual, meditation or TCM, MAWEICAO is a hidden gem that makes beautifully packaged, natural Eastern incense. This is as authentic as it gets, made with no synthetics and all natural materials, and their set feels like a true gifting experience. Incense has been used for over 2,000 years in China in Taoist and Buddhist rituals and daily life and came from ancient India, then made its way to China then Japan. The Pixiu Backflow Incense Burner is a hand-painted guardian figure for wealth. When a backflow cone is lit on top, the smoke flows down and pours out of its mouth like a little waterfall, which is mesmerizing to watch. It comes with its own set of complimentary incense cones or you can add their stunning Backflow Incense Cones Gift Box of 32 cones in a book-style box with scents like sandalwood, agarwood and mugwort.

The 24-Ingredient Chinese Incense Sticks have NO synthetics and are hand-kneaded from botanicals like sandalwood, agarwood, saffron and frankincense, with no artificial fragrance. These are thick incense sticks and the amethyst and jade holders are stable and beautiful.

Shipping was very quick and took about a week!

I Tried LILYSILK Organic Silk Pillowcase and Pajama Set

Organic silk pajamas and pillowcases are one of those luxuries most people won’t buy for themselves, which is exactly why they make such an awesome gift. LILYSILK’s Full Length Silk Pajama Set is GOTS-certified organic, made from 22 momme silk, a heavier, more durable weight that feels incredibly smooth against your skin. The set includes a long-sleeved, button-front shirt and matching relaxed-fit pants that are easy to slip on after a bath. It comes in sizes XS to XL, and you can add a monogram or order a custom size for an extra-personal touch.

I Tried DIME Beauty Perfume Mini Set

DIME’s Mini Scent Trio is a fun, low-commitment way to gift clean fragrance, and it’s one of the most affordable holiday gift ideas on this list. It comes with three 7 mL rollerballs: 7 Summers, a creamy, sunlit vanilla, Dans Les Bois, a bold woody scent with smooth cedarwood, and the brand’s newest fragrance, Stay Awhile, a nostalgic gourmand with toasted pistachio. The rollerballs are small enough to toss in a purse or carry-on, and the scents layer beautifully, so you can mix them to create your own signature scent. DIME’s fragrances are vegan and Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free.

For Tea and Astrology Lovers: I Tried Magic Hour Tea Queen of Wellness Gift Set

Magic Hour makes organic, fair trade, and biodynamic teas, and its Winter Wellness Wishes Gift Set is the coziest gift for tea lovers. I love their artisanal tea filter because of the cool celestial design and ultra fine mesh. This on its own is already a really great gift, especially for those with a taste for astrology, the divine feminine or the esoteric. You choose one of three seasonal teas: Pecan Pie Chai, a blend of warming chai spices and toasty pecans with ashwagandha, Peppermint Bark Puerh, a naturally sweet blend of peppermint and cocoa, or Apple Almond Nog, an eggnog-inspired black tea with organic apple and almond.

The tea comes with a cream-colored, handmade ceremonial tea bowl, and everything arrives in Magic Hour’s black and gold gift box, so it’s ready to give right away. It’s a lovely way to turn an everyday cup of tea into a little ritual.

Hatch Alarm Clock

In my experience, you can’t go wrong with either the Hatch Restore 3 or their new Alarm Clock, which is basically the Restore with sleep tracking technology. This is a gamechanging device that will transform anyone’s bedtime routine, sleep hygiene and morning routine. The only downside is the subscription required to access their entire library, which is actually very impressive. It’s easier for me to show what it’s like to use the clock than describe it. But basically you set up three routines: unwind, sleep and wake up. You can customize each one to have up to five recordings. I personally like meditation, book readings, ASMR and nature soundscapes (these can get geographically super specific like Icelandic waterfalls or Caribbean oceanfront). For my sleep routine I have different white noise sounds ranging from shower in the next room to Barcelona nightcap. And for my Wake Up Routine I enjoy “Annoying Personal Trainer”, meditation recordings and Pacific Ocean sounds. There’s hundreds to choose from and the alarms are comically specific. The unwind routine can be automatically scheduled to start so it really makes you mindful of when you should start putting away your device and preparing your body to get restful sleep and the alarm gives me less anxiety than a blaring iPhone alarm.

For the Jewelry Lover: Ana Luisa

I have a whole guide to ethical jewelry, but for affordable gifting check out Ana Luisa. Ana Luisa makes everyday fine jewelry that looks elevated without the fine jewelry price tag, and it’s made with the planet in mind. Wherever possible, the brand uses certified recycled sterling silver and gold, along with lab-grown diamonds and recycled glass, so you get sparkle without the impact of newly mined materials. The pieces are tested to be hypoallergenic, tarnish-proof and water-resistant, which makes them easy to wear every day, from the shower to the gym without worrying about turning green or dull. They come with a generous 2 year warranty and are designed to be lifeproof: tarnish-free, water-resistant, and hypoallergenic.

I tried Caraway Home Whistling Tea Kettle and Dutch Oven

For a plastic free kitchen, Caraway Home makes non-toxic cookware, bakeware and kitchen essentials that are just as pretty on the stovetop as they are practical. I love their non-toxic Whistling Tea Kettle, cutting board made in the USA and Dutch Oven. The black and gold version is stunning, exceptionally high quality and extremely giftable. Their best-known line is ceramic nonstick, made with a mineral-based sol-gel coating instead of traditional Teflon, and it’s free of PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, lead and cadmium. I love their Dutch Oven, non toxic cutting board and tea kettle. Beyond nonstick, Caraway also makes stainless steel and enameled cast iron cookware, ceramic bakeware, tea kettles and glass food storage, all in soft colors like cream, sage and navy.

For the New Mom: Mori Welcome to Our World Set

If you know any soon-to-be or new moms, MORI makes baby and kids’ clothing from a signature blend of bamboo and organic cotton. It’s super soft against sensitive newborn skin and helps regulate temperature, so little ones stay comfortable through the night. The Welcome to Our World Set is a sweet gift for new parents, with four pieces that cover the first few months: zip pajamas, a kimono bodysuit, a blanket and a hat. The pajamas have a concealed, non-metal zipper with a safety tab, so middle-of-the-night changes are quicker. Both the pajamas and the bodysuit have fold-over scratch mitts, and the hat has a roll-up brim that grows with your baby. It comes in soft neutrals and stripes, and you can add a gift box when you check out.

For the Coffee Lover: Biodynamic Coffee by Holistic Roasters

Biodynamic Coffee is the healthiest, highest quality in the organic coffee world in my experience. Holistic Roasters’ is grown on Demeter-certified Biodynamic farms that focus on soil health, biodiversity and regenerative growing practices, and the roaster itself is Demeter certified too. The beans are certified organic and third-party lab tested for mold, mycotoxins and heavy metals, which matters since coffee can be a common source of mold exposure. Rubicon is the light roast, with a clean, delicate cup that’s especially nice as a pour over. Rise & Shine is the medium roast, rich, balanced and bold for an everyday morning cup. Décaf is made from beans grown by a Demeter-certified farming collective in Honduras and decaffeinated with the Swiss Water Process, which removes 99.9% of the caffeine using only water, temperature and time, with no chemical solvents. Pair it with a fully plastic free coffee maker for an even more impressive gift!

For the Yogi: I Tried AyurLight Candles Tridoshic Glow – The Ayurvedic Balance Set

If you know someone who loves yoga, meditation, or anything wellness, AyurLight’s Tridoshic Glow set is such a thoughtful gift. It’s rooted in Ayurveda and includes three full-size candles designed to balance each of the three doshas: one to soothe Vata, one to cool Pitta, and one to uplift Kapha, plus a mini dosha guide to help personalize the experience. The candles are made with all-natural soy wax and essential oils, and they’re poured into reusable copper jars that are handcrafted in India, so they’re just as pretty on a shelf once the candle is gone. My set came with RUDRA, a warm, grounding blend of amber and patchouli, SAATHI, a floral and woody blend of rose, oudh, and bakhoor, and DIVYA, an uplifting mix of creamy sandalwood, sweet orange, and cinnamon. I interviewed founder Nisha Rana here.

I Tried INNBEAUTY Project Body Set

INNBEAUTY Project’s Extreme Indulgence Trio is a Sephora exclusive that’s perfect for dry skin girlies who love a full body care routine. It includes the Extreme Body Toning and Firming Body Lotion, made with ceramides, niacinamide, caffeine, shea butter, squalane, centella, and peptides, the Extreme Body Scrub, a whipped micro-sugar scrub with coconut, sweet almond, and jojoba oils, and the Extreme Lip Volumizing Lip Treatment, with caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and mango seed butter.

The set has a modern milky vanilla scent that fades into soft woods and sheer musk, and the travel-friendly sizes make it easy to try everything. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and made without parabens, phthalates, and mineral oil. Since the lotion and scrub contain fragrance, it’s best for people without fragrance sensitivities.

I Tried Aerangis Candles The Gilded Hour Gift Set

Aerangis makes non-toxic sustainable luxury candles, and The Gilded Hour set is a fun, cocktail-inspired trio that captures New York nights. No. 1882 Manhattans in Manhattan has notes of dark cherry, bergamot, cognac, spiced tobacco, and amber, No. 1901 Filthy Dirty is a briny, herbal take on a dirty martini with lemon, green olive, juniper, and salted musk, and No. 1983 Midnight Espresso blends roasted coffee, dark rum, cocoa, and Madagascar vanilla.

The candles come in black ceramic jars and are presented in the brand’s signature gift box tied with a grosgrain ribbon made from upcycled materials. A complimentary candle snuffer is included too, which makes it feel extra special. It’s the perfect gift for the host who loves a good cocktail.

For Acne Sufferers: Banisher 3.0 Kit

The Banisher 3.0 from Banish is a hand-held microneedling stamp, and I like that it puts me fully in control. Instead of rolling over my whole face, I press it only where I want it, so I can focus on areas with texture or old acne marks and skip the rest. The fine needles are gold-plated, and this version has heads that click off and on, so when it’s time for a fresh one, I only replace the head instead of buying a whole new tool. That’s less waste and easier on the wallet. You can also choose your needle depth, 0.25mm, 0.5mm or 1.0mm, depending on how gentle or intensive you want each session to be.

For the Dog Mom

I have a whole guide to dog shampoo and grooming products, but for a gift that’s sure to impress the most discerning dog mom, I recommend Biche and Lil Luv Dog. The packaging is just as good, if not prettier, than your own beauty products and the ingredients are safe and natural. If you’re looking for 100% organic cotton dog clothes and toys, check out Pet Passion.

For the Wine Lover: The Zero Proof Nonalcoholic Bundle

I have a whole guide to nonalcoholic wine for anyone who likes the ritual of sipping wine but doesn’t want to feel tipsy or out of it. Gift a healthier NA version, and who knows, they might love it or at least start to develop an acquired taste for it! French Bloom has THE prettiest gift set box I’ve seen at Erewhon stores, and online, The Zero Proof offers gift bundles. They carry over 400 nonalcoholic drinks from sparkling, white, red and rosé wines to craft-style beers. The bundles are an easy way to gift a curated selection of the best ones.
