Christmas is right around the corner, and with the day grew nearer, your time for finding the perfect gift is running out. Picking out gifts that your friends are certain to love can be a huge feat. This can be especially hard when they have a lifestyle that is very specific about where products come from and are made. Don't fret, I am here to help with the hunt for ethical, fair trade, vegan presents that your hippie bestie will love. From one hippie to another, these are gifts that any flower child would adore.
1. Essential Oils
Aroma therapy is one of the staples of homeopathic medicine. You can diffuse the oils into the air, you can place them on specific locations around your body for different therapeutic reactions, you can use them as a natural perfume, and you can even put them in your food. When purchasing essential oils the quality is imperative. It is possible to buy super cheap oils at Walmart, but the quality won't be there and they will not be as safe or ethically made as higher quality oils. I found an essential oils company called Plant Therapy with makes certified organic and vegan essentials oils. They are of the highest quality and are safe to diffuse and to consume. To make it even easier, they have gift sets already picked out for you. https://www.planttherapy.com/

5. A S'well water bottle
S'well water bottles are working to eliminate single-use plastic water bottles. S'well is BPA free and environmentally friendly.

Mortar and pestles are a great way to grind up your own herbs and seasonings.
