Hey there! My name is Daley, I’m on the Marketing team here at DoneGood. I’m here to share with you the gifts I plan to give my friends and family this holiday season. 

Each year I strive to make my gifts meaningful, thoughtful, and special. Instead of heading to the usual big-box stores, I get excited to find brands that align with my values. It feels so much better to support companies that are committed to sustainability, fair labor practices, and social impact rather than giant coorporations who only care about making money.

This season, I want my gifts to not only bring smiles to my friends' faces but also contribute to a better world. Whether it’s cozy clothing, unique home goods, or thoughtful self-care items, I’m on a mission to find presents that tell a story—one of kindness, responsibility, and community. Below, check out some of my favorite finds from the DoneGood Shop For Good sale and I’ll share why each choice is special. 

Let’s make this holiday season not just about giving, but about giving back!

My Top Ethical and Sustianable Gifts For the Holidays

Pima Long Sleeve Jogger Set by Leena & Lu

This Long Sleeve Jogger Set is the perfect gift during the holidays. The set is made from ultra-soft, breathable Pima cotton, which really feels luxurious. What makes this gift even more special is its commitment to ethical production—supporting fair wages and sustainable practices. By choosing this jogger set, you’re not only treating your loved ones to comfort but also supporting a brand that prioritizes people and the planet!

Yliomene Necklace by Vi Bella

The Vi Bella Yliomene Necklace is so simple yet unique. I love that it’s handmade by artisans in Haiti, so I can give a gift to a friend, and give important work to these Fair Trade jewelry makers. Gifting this necklace means sharing a meaningful story and promoting positive change, something I would feel great about this holiday season! 

Crescent Hoop Earrings in Gold by Astor & Orion

I love these simple, timeless, and ethical hoops. They’re crafted by skilled artisans using sustainable materials, these earrings would be perfect for so many people on my list this year because they complement any style.

Campbell Men's Button Down Shirt - Organic Cotton by Passion Lilie

I’m giving this Men’s Button-Down Shirt to my partner because not only do I love the pattern, but it’s also made from 100% organic cotton which reduces the environmental impact of clothing production compared to regular cotton. The brand, Passion Lillie is dedicated to fair wages and safe working conditions for the skilled artisans who create these beautiful pieces. By choosing this shirt, you're giving a gift that’s not just stylish, but also rooted in values that matter!

Karen Bracelet by Vi Bella

This bracelet is so fun, I can’t wait to give this as a gift. It combines style with social impact. Handcrafted by artisans in Haiti, this piece supports fair trade practices and empowers local communities. Gifting this bracelet means sharing a unique story of craftsmanship and compassion, making it such a thoughtful gift.

Laptop Case by Made Free

A laptop case is such a practical gift, its something that will actually be used, which is high on my priority list when I’m picking out a gift. This case is made from high-quality materials by artisans who work under fair trade practices. Plus, every MADE FREE purchase supports crafters through self-sustaining employment. With this laptop case, I am providing one day of freedom for their workers from human trafficking, slavery, and poverty through self-sustaining jobs.

Those are the ethical gifts on my list for my friends and family this holiday season, hopefully you found a gift idea or two, or maybe something special for yourself!

Gifting sustainably and ethically is not only a thoughtful choice but also a powerful way to create positive change in the world. By selecting products that support fair trade, empower artisans, and promote environmentally friendly practices, we can express our love and appreciation for others while aligning our values with our purchasing decisions. This holiday season, let’s embrace the spirit of giving by choosing gifts that tell a story, foster connection, and contribute to a brighter, more equitable future for all.
