When I was growing up, last-minute holiday shopping was part of the fun of the season, but now I can’t think of anything fun about standing in long lines! I’d much rather shop in my pj’s at home in my pj’s while sipping an eggnog latte, then use the time I would have spent driving from store-to-store doing . . . well, anything but that.
If you like to keep things low stress, save time, and buy thoughtful gifts that friends and family will love, I’ve put together this 2025 gift guide for you. It includes many of my favorite (and most well-received) gifts through the years, plus a few that are on my wish list this year.
Gift Guide For Women ^
Whether it’s for your mom, sister, best friend, favorite aunt, or another cherished woman in your life, there’s a little something here for everyone.
Oh, and this year I’ve divided this category into different interests so that you can easily find meaningful gifts for the person you have in mind. 🙂
Gifts for a Spa-Like Retreat ^
1. Natural Sea Body Sponge – This ethically harvested sea wool sponge creates a rich, creamy lather and feels much softer than synthetic loofahs. It turns an everyday shower into a calming reset and lasts much longer than typical bath sponges.
2. Towel Warmer – Wrap them in pure comfort. A towel warmer turns everyday towels into warm, fresh-from-the-dryer goodness – and it’s just as amazing for pajamas, bathrobes, and blankets. It’s an easy upgrade that brings a little more comfort into everyday life.
3. Natural Terra Cotta Pumice Stone – Made from Indus River clay, these durable pumice stones are the perfect at-home pedicure tool. One side removes dry, rough skin and the other smooths and polishes. I recommend pairing it with homemade whipped body butter or organic shea butter so that your recipient has something to moisturize with once they’ve completed their session.
4. Ionic Facial Steamer – This steamer releases negatively charged ionic microdroplets that penetrate deeper than regular steam. I originally bought it for sinus support – and it totally works for that – but it’s now part of my Sunday reset routine. It leaves skin hydrated, opens pores for better serum absorption, and makes every session feel like a mini facial.

5. Hair Fork – A beautiful way to add a little style to the everyday messy bun. This handcrafted hair fork holds styles securely without pulling or creasing hair. I’ve used a wooden one similar to the above picture for years, but this wood flower is also lovely.
6. Primally Pure Blue Tansy Body Oil (SAVE 10% with MOMMYPOTAMUS10) – This is the perfect finishing touch for any self-care session. Its deeply hydrating, smells absolutely amazing and contains compounds that support collagen synthesis.
The perfect finishing touch to any self-care ritual. This luxurious oil smells incredible, deeply hydrates, and contains botanicals that support collagen synthesis. It leaves skin soft, glowy, and nourished.
7. Bathorium Luxury Bath Soak Discovery Set – This discovery set features several of Bathorium’s most-loved bath soaks, each infused with clean, therapeutic ingredients like mineral salts, botanicals, and essential oils. It’s a beautiful way to turn an ordinary bath into a calming, aromatic retreat.
8. Expandable Bathtub Tray – This expandable tub tray creates a cozy, organized space for reading, sipping tea, or enjoying a candlelit soak. It’s the kind of upgrade they’ll use over and over.

Gifts That Nourish
9. Merry & Bright Toups & Co. Gift Set (10% off applied automatically) – Tallow is uniquely compatible with our skin’s biology, leaving it supple and nourished after use. My friend Emilie makes the best whipped tallow balm I’ve ever tried, and this holiday gift set is such a treat. It includes her limited-edition Mistletoe Tallow Skin Balm, Candy Cane Tallow Lip Love Balm, and an exfoliating body bar – everything needed for cozy winter self-care sessions.
10. Build Your Own Bundle Gift Set With Toups & Co (10% off applied automatically) – Create a completely custom gift with your choice of Toups & Co favorites. From whipped tallow balms to makeup, cleansers, and soaps, you can hand-select the items that best fit your recipient’s routine. It’s a thoughtful, personalized way to share clean, nourishing skincare and makeup they’ll actually use and love.
11. Magnesium Lotion – Magnesium is often called the “magic mineral” because it helps relax tight muscles, supports stress resilience, and calms the mind. One studyeven suggests it may improve sleep quality by increasing melatonin and lowering cortisol. Unfortunately, pure topical magnesium oil can feel itchy for some people. This lotion blends high-potency transdermal magnesium with shea butter, argan oil, and other soothing botanicals, making it perfect for sensitive skin.
12. Coconut Milk Bath – Just a few tablespoons turn warm water into a luxurious, creamy soak that leaves skin soft and hydrated. It comes in a beautiful branded box that’s perfect for gifting.
13. Primally Pure Mini Serum Trio (SAVE 10% with MOMMYPOTAMUS10) – A sampler of their most-loved serums, each formulated with nutrient-dense botanicals to support clear, radiant, balanced skin. Click here for more Primally Pure gift ideas.

Gifts for The Wellness Lover
15. Pranamat ECO Massage Mat (Save 10% with HEATHERDESS) – Handcrafted with thousands of pointed lotus flower spikes, this acupressure massage mat may not look like the most comfortable thing to lie on . . . but that’s the whole point! In two clinical trials, Pranamat was shown to relax muscle tension, improve microcirculation, facilitate oxygenation of tissues, stimulate a healthy metabolism, relieve pain, regulate sleep, and make regular users feel happier and more energetic. I bought one last year and literally can’t wait for my daily session.
16. Scoria Yoga Mat (USE CODE MP10 TO SAVE 10%) – Beautiful and comfortable, this is the mat I use almost every day. It’s made with a natural rubber backing that’s bonded to the cork grains using water-based eco adhesives. They’re a great alternative to many popular “non-toxic” yoga mats that are actually greenwashed products full of undisclosed chemicals.
17. Cork Foam Roller – A foam roller that isn’t made of… foam. Cork offers steady pressure that helps release tight muscles, support mobility, and improve recovery. It’s naturally antimicrobial, eco-friendly, and grippier than standard rollers, making it perfect for deep tissue work or gentle daily maintenance.
18. Oura Ring – This smart ring can be worn in airplane mode, making it EMF-free. It analyzes your heart rate variability (HRV), blood oxygen levels, body temperature and other metrics in order to provide personalized insights on stress, physical activity, sleep and more. It even offers period prediction and can integrate with the Natural Cycles app to fully track your cycle.

19. Heat Healer Energy Sauna With Triple Threat Technology (SAVE 20% WITH CODE MP20) – People often ask me which therapy I’d prioritize—sauna, PEMF, or red light. My honest answer is: it depends on your body and your goals. But this sauna lets you enjoy all three in one compact unit that fits beautifully in small spaces. It delivers deep warmth, cellular-level support, and restorative relaxation in a way that feels both grounding and energizing.
20. Good Medicine Perfume – Each scent is crafted with natural botanicals – no synthetic fragrance compounds – that are designed to smell beautiful on the skin, not just in the bottle. You can buy individual fragrances – I recommend Love Letterwhich smells like magnolia, coconut and vanilla – or a gift set that allows your recipient to explore several blends and find the one that feels like “them.” This is a lovely, sensory-rich gift for anyone who appreciates clean beauty or loves discovering new scents.
21. Weighted Vest – Weighted vests have become incredibly popular lately, and for good reason. They can help support muscle tone, bone density, metabolism, posture, and even mood. Many women wear them for walks, workouts, or even while doing light chores because the benefits stack up with daily use.
I personally have (and love) the vest pictured above, but sizing is based on body weight – something most gift givers don’t usually know. A good rule of thumb is to choose a vest that’s no more than about 10% of someone’s total body weight. If you’re unsure of the exact weight your recipient would prefer, this adjustable vest is a thoughtful alternative and allows them to customize it for comfort.
22. Thrive Market Membership – A Thrive Market membership is such a useful, thoughtful gift – healthy groceries, clean household products, and specialty items delivered right to their door at member pricing. It’s practical and perfect for anyone trying to stock a cleaner pantry without the overwhelm. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and choose “Give Gift Card.”

Gifts for Cozy Days & Nights
23. Pillow Boots from Bearaby – These are basically wearable cloud pillows. Made from organic cotton and filled with actual pillow fibers, they’re soft, supportive, and perfect for anyone who wants warm, cushy comfort for tired feet. Great for lounging, reading, working from home, or adding a little extra cozy to quiet evenings in.
24. Beeswax Candles from Natural Sloth (Save 10% with code MP10) – Handmade in my hometown, these candles are crafted with eco-friendly wooden wicks, sustainably sourced beeswax, coconut oil, and essential oils. They burn beautifully and come in blends like Christmas Tree, Cozy and Ginger Spice. They’re a clean alternative to paraffin candles, which often release carcinogens like toluene and benzene into the air.
25. Waterless Essential Oil Diffuser – This diffuser delivers pure aromatherapy benefits by using a waterless, heat-free atomizer – protecting the therapeutic properties of your recipients essential oils. It fills a room with scent quickly and evenly, and because there’s no water reservoir, it’s low-maintenance and mess-free.
26. GOTS Certified Organic Cotton Muslin Blanket from Bearaby – Lightweight, breathable, and incredibly soft, this organic muslin blanket keeps warmth close while still allowing air to circulate. The texture becomes softer with each wash, making it a perfect year-round companion for naps, reading, or cozy evenings.
27. Fontana Candles – Made with beeswax, coconut oil and beautifully balanced scents, Fontana has something for everyone – Pure Vanilla, Spiced Latte, Fireside, Peppermint Bark, and more. They burn cleanly without synthetic fragrance oils, making them a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves candles but avoids toxins.
28. Branwyn Gift Card – This company makes comfy and flattering first layer essentials and activewear that are BPA and PFAS forever chemical-free. Most bras contain painful, lymph restricting underwires and chemical-laden fabrics than can easily transfer toxins into our skin due to long periods of contact time. Even underwire-free options like sports bras come with serious concerns – a recent study found that many contain BPA. My non-toxic merino wool bralette from Branwyn is one of the most comfortable bras I’ve ever owned, period. It’s super soft and lasts 2-3 times longer than organic cotton bras. It’s unlined so I only wear it with thicker tops, but even with that it’s still an absolute favorite. They offer gift cards in $25, $50, and $75+ denominations.

29. Bearaby Weighted Blanket – These handmade weighted blankets are made with a gorgeous chunky knit that’s as beautiful as it is functional. Bearaby uses organic cotton and or TENCEL, and their blankets are washable. Though I purchase 99.9% of the products I recommend on this site, Bearaby gave me one adult blanket and one kids blanket to test. Both are well-loved in our house, and we highly recommend them.
30. Himalayan Salt Tealight Candle Holder – These are absolutely stunning when lit. The warm glow from a beeswax tealight shines through the salt crystal, creating a soft, cozy ambiance. They’re perfect for nightstands, reading nooks, living rooms, or anywhere you want a soothing, natural light.
31. Pact Gift Card – If your recipient loves organic cotton basics, sustainable wardrobe staples, or ultra-comfy loungewear, a Pact gift card is an easy choice. Their pieces are soft, thoughtfully made, and built for everyday comfort.
32. YnM Weighted Blanket – Research shows that weighted blankets calm our sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight mode) and increase parasympathetic activity (rest and recuperation mode). They can be used during the day to increase a sense of well-being or at night for better sleep. Made with soft 100% OEKO-TEX cotton and glass beads, this blanket comes in several sizes and weights. It can also be paired with a machine washable duvet cover for easy cleaning. Click here to read more about the benefits of weighted blankets and how to choose a weight.

Gifts to Sip & Savor
33. Chemex Glass Coffee Maker – For the person who enjoys a really good cup of coffee, the Chemex is a classic. As I shared in my post on why I switched, it brews coffee that’s smoother and noticeably less acidic, and there’s literally no plastic involved. Don’t forget the filters!
34. Kasandrinos Olive Oil – Unlike many store-bought options that are diluted with cheap oils like canola, this is authentic olive oil pressed in Laconia, Greece. The flavor is amazing – fresh, vibrant, and slightly different from season to season, which is part of its charm. Anyone who loves drizzling high-quality olive oil over salads, soups, or fresh bread will appreciate this one.
35. Stagg Electric Gooseneck Kettle – This beautifully designed stainless steel electric kettle is perfect for the coffee or tea lover. It heats water quickly and precisely – no guessing or waiting – and the gooseneck spout offers perfect control for pour-over brews. It comes in lots of gorgeous colors and looks stunning on any countertop.
36. Raaka Chocolate – Made with unroasted cacao beans so you can taste the natural fruity flavor of cacao, this chocolate uses wholesome ingredients to create amazing flavor combinations. All the cacao they use is single-origin, certified organic, and fair trade. A thoughtful treat for anyone who loves high-quality chocolate.
37. Authentic Truffle Salt – Most truffle salts rely on synthetic flavorings, but not this one. HEPP’S uses 100% Sicilian natural sea salt and 6% real black truffles – no 2,4-dithiapentane or artificial “truffle flavor.” It’s delicious on french fries, popcorn, steak, pasta, roasted veggies… even scrambled eggs. A tiny sprinkle makes everything taste special.
38. Purity Coffee Gift Subscription (SAVE 20% WITH CODE MP20) – For the houses that run on laughter, love, and really good coffee. Purity is the only brand I’ve found that’s certified organic and screened for mold, mycotoxins, pesticides, and other things you don’t want in your morning cup. Their gift subscription delivers fresh, antioxidant-rich coffee to your giftee every month – available in whole bean or ground – and you can prepay for 3 or 6 months.

Kitchen Gifts That Will Delight
39. Beast Blender – This is the blender I personally use and love. It’s powerful, compact, and beautifully designed, making it perfect for smoothies, sauces, dips, dressings, and more. It blends incredibly smoothly without taking up much counter space – and it looks pretty sitting out, too. This is the one I have.
40. Lodge Cast Iron Pizza Pan – This pizza pan delivers perfectly crisp crusts, even heat distribution, and zero questionable non-stick coatings. It’s durable enough to last generations and versatile enough for pizzas, flatbreads, roasted veggies, and even cookies.
41. Silicone Mason Jar Sleeves – These colorful silicone sleeves add grip, insulation, and protection to your glass jars – making it easier to carry hot drinks, pack smoothies, store leftovers, or use jars as on-the-go cups. They help prevent slips and breakage, and they’re dishwasher safe.
42. Luvele Yogurt Maker – I’ve lost count of how many batches of yogurt I’ve fermented with this cute retro-style yogurt maker. It does an amazing job of heating evenly, which is key for batch consistency and creaminess. A great gift for anyone who loves homemade, probiotic-rich foods.
43. 360 Cookware – Last year, after a lot of research on the safest options, I bought this 360 Cookware Set and I’m so glad I did. They use surgical grade stainless steel and every piece comes with a lifetime warranty. It’s heirloom-quality cookware made to be used and loved for decades.
44. Cookbook Stand – Give your loved one the gift of FINALLY keeping their place in a cookbook during meal prep! This sturdy stand keeps books on the right page, and it can also serve as a tablet stand for digital recipes. It helps keep counters tidy and cooking more enjoyable.

45. Kitchen Counter Sprout Growing Kit – Broccoli sprouts are one of the richest sources of sulforaphane – a phytochemical that supports detoxification, cellular resilience, antioxidant defenses, and the Nrf2 “longevity pathway.” With this kit and these seeds they can be easily grown at home along with other sprouts that are rich in B vitamins (including folate), plus C, K, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and fiber. If you want to get a second type of seed, I recommend alfalfa.
46. Maestri House Milk Frother – Use regular or plant-based milk to make low, medium or high froth foam for lattes, cappuccino, fancy hot cocoa, moon milk and more. It’s also available in white, and it looks beautiful on the counter.
47. Reusable Bowl Covers – Plastic wrap is convenient, but not great for us or the planet. These reusable covers stretch to fit a variety of bowl sizes and shapes, creating a washable, breathable, waterproof seal. The ones I linked are made with PUL – the same material used for cloth diaper covers because of its safe, food-friendly profile. If you prefer cotton-only options, these are super cute.
48. Glass Electric Tea Kettle – Made with sturdy borosilicate glass, this electric kettle comes with a stainless steel infuser that allows the recipient to make tea directly in the kettle. It heats water quickly, holds up to 14 cups, and looks good on the counter.
49. Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher with 3 Extra Filters (Save 10% with WELCOME10 on your first order) – Give clean water for a year! This is my top countertop filter recommendation in terms of performance and price. Unlike most pitcher filters which barely do more than improve water taste by removing chlorine, it’s certified to remove 365+ contaminants – more than any other model I researched – all while keeping beneficial minerals intact.
50. Fermentation Lids for Mason Jars – These airlock fermentation lids make it easy to ferment sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, carrots, and more – no babysitting or burping jars required. They help maintain the ideal anaerobic environment and fit standard Mason jars that most people already have at home.
45. Kitchen Counter Sprout Growing Kit – Broccoli sprouts are one of the richest sources of sulforaphane – a phytochemical that supports detoxification, cellular resilience, antioxidant defenses, and the Nrf2 “longevity pathway.” With this kit and these seeds they can be easily grown at home along with other sprouts that are rich in B vitamins (including folate), plus C, K, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and fiber. If you want to get a second type of seed, I recommend alfalfa.
46. Maestri House Milk Frother – Use regular or plant-based milk to make low, medium or high froth foam for lattes, cappuccino, fancy hot cocoa, moon milk and more. It’s also available in white, and it looks beautiful on the counter.
47. Reusable Bowl Covers – Plastic wrap is convenient, but not great for us or the planet. These reusable covers stretch to fit a variety of bowl sizes and shapes, creating a washable, breathable, waterproof seal. The ones I linked are made with PUL – the same material used for cloth diaper covers because of its safe, food-friendly profile. If you prefer cotton-only options, these are super cute.
48. Glass Electric Tea Kettle – Made with sturdy borosilicate glass, this electric kettle comes with a stainless steel infuser that allows the recipient to make tea directly in the kettle. It heats water quickly, holds up to 14 cups, and looks good on the counter.
49. Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher with 3 Extra Filters (Save 10% with WELCOME10 on your first order) – Give clean water for a year! This is my top countertop filter recommendation in terms of performance and price. Unlike most pitcher filters which barely do more than improve water taste by removing chlorine, it’s certified to remove 365+ contaminants – more than any other model I researched – all while keeping beneficial minerals intact.

81. Heat Healer Body Belt With Infrared, PEMF & Red Light Therapy (SAVE 20% WITH CODE MP20) – Awhile ago, I bought a Heat Healer Infrared Sauna Blanket to take on an extended road trip, and after reading my review the company founder asked if I’d be interested in trying out their body belt with Triple Threat Technology™. It took 3 years to research and develop, and combines three different therapies (infrared heat, PEMF therapy and red light therapy) to target areas of the body affected by pain and inflammation.

Oura recently created Circles, which allows users to share their Readiness, Sleep and Activity scores with hand-selected family and friends. My husband and I can see each other’s scores in the app, so if they’re lower than usual we will check in and see what the other needs to feel better.

PaleoValley Grass-Fed Beef Sticks – This is the only company in the US that uses old-world methods of fermenting so that their beef sticks are shelf stable without the use of chemicals or questionable ingredients. Virtually all other similar snack stick products use GMO corn-based citric acid encapsulated in hydrogenated oils to process their products.
98. Organic Hot Chocolate Mix – Even the most rugged guy loves a good cup of hot chocolate. It’s warm, comforting, and naturally rich in magnesium. This organic mix is perfect for whipping up a rich, velvety cup.
99. Yum Earth Organic Candy Canes – To go with the hot chocolate. 🙂
100. PaleoValley Superfood Bars – These are great for taking on hikes or as post-workout snacks. They’re made with with NO ADDED SUGAR and MORE PROTEIN than typical bars. That includes grass-fed bone broth protein that’s rich in collagen – the most abundant protein in our bodies (bones, muscles, skin, blood vessels, tendons AND the digestive system). They also incorporate healthy fats and other nutrient-dense foods like vitamin C rich acerola cherry, spirulina, turmeric and wild blueberries. I recommend the Lemon Meringue and Apple Cinnamon flavors.

141. Nightfall Glasses For Kids – When we wind down a busy day with a movie, I make sure my littles wear blue blocking glasses so that the blue light from the TV doesn’t impair their natural production of melatonin.

A thoughtful gift for mamas preparing their bodies and minds for birth.

Nursing Support Essentials Bundle from Wishgarden Herbs – Created specifically for breastfeeding moms, this bundle includes herbal formulas traditionally used to support healthy milk flow, ease common nursing challenges, and promote overall comfort. A practical gift for new mothers navigating the early days of breastfeeding.

This innovative swaddle lets babies sleep with their arms up near their head – a position many newborns naturally prefer – while still providing the snug, calming security of a traditional swaddle. I’ve heard great things about it from several moms, and it gets rave reviews online, too. Here’s one:
“We are third-time parents and have never been good at swaddling… Enter Love to Dream! We love this swaddle! Our 5-week-old took to it like a dream. Knowing she was safe, cozy, and easy to change without waking her was such a relief. Highly, highly recommend.”

149. The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth – I love this book so much I wrote an entire article about it. It’s beautifully illustrated and written with real mamas in mind. Genevieve literally had me crying in the opening pages as she talked about her own birth experiences, and the whole book feels like a fascinating conversation instead of a list of do’s and don’ts. (Weird fact, Genevieve and I birthed our babies within 24 hours of each other, and then three years later we did it again.)
150. Organic Cotton Muslin Swaddle Blanket – Lightweight, breathable, and incredibly soft, this organic muslin swaddle is perfect for newborns. It keeps babies cozy without overheating and becomes softer with every wash. A simple, timeless essential for any new parent.

Wellness Gifts for the Whole Family ^
151. Clearlight Infrared Sauna – If your recipient has the space, a Clearlight sauna is one of the most transformative wellness gifts you can give. It’s become a foundational part of our family routine – my husband and kids use it most mornings, and I use it at night to unwind. It’s beautifully built, deeply relaxing, and offers research-backed benefits for detoxification, muscle recovery, mood, and overall well-being. You can read see my full review of the model in my home here.
152. Lourdes Hydrofix from Holy Hydrogen (SAVE $100 WITH CODE MP100) – A quick search on PubMed will show that molecular hydrogen therapy (both inhaled and sipped as hydrogen water) seems to have a lot of benefits along with an excellent safety profile. In Japan, where most of the research on molecular hydrogen has been done, it’s actually used in hospitals. (1)
Since most of the research is done in Japan, the best machines are Japanese, which is pretty great unless you’re trying to read instruction manuals.
A few years ago I finally bought the Lourdes Hydrofix from Holy Hydrogen, and I’m so happy I did. It is manufactured in Japan – and the main manual is in Japanese – but the amazing guys at Holy Hydrogen have created English videos and instructions that make using it super easy.
153. Red Light Therapy – RLT has been shown to be helpful for collagen production, improving skin clarity, optimizing hormone levels, facilitating muscle recovery and more. Clearlight panels are well made and use the optimal wavelengths. This is wonderful gift for someone who loves evidence-based skincare or recovery tools.
154. Whole Body Vibration Plate – My first experience with whole body vibration therapy was at a wellness clinic, and it made such a difference in my overall well-being that I bought one when I returned home. It supports detoxification (via lymphatic drainage) and calms the sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system. It can also be used to amplify the effectiveness of exercise, and my husband and I use it for at-home workouts.
155. Blushield EMF Protection (SAVE 10% WITH MP10) – One day I was playing a game I call “Woo or True” with a Global Clinical Research Scholar from Harvard Medical School. Basically I asked him for his thoughts on a bunch of different wellness modalities – whether they’re legitimate or unlikely to be helpful. Toward the end of our conversation we got onto the subject of EMFs, and he recommended Blushield to me.
Unlike EMF-blocking technologies (which I still use on my phone and in other situations), Blushield is an active system that “produces coherent frequencies within the human responsive range, based on nature-mimicking mathematical algorithms.” I’ve covered before how our brains can entrain with certain frequencies, and according to Blushield our bodies also do the same thing. When coherent frequencies are available alongside the chaotic ones produced by non-native EMFs, Blushield says our bodies will preferentially tune into the coherent ones. Full review here.
156. Lifepro Sonic Handheld Percussion Massage Gun – This is a great gift for active families. It comes with 5 interchangeable heads that help release tension in both surface and deep tissue layers.

157. PaleoValley Superfood Bars – I keep a stash of these on hand for day that I don’t have time to make healthy snacks from scratch. They’re made with with NO ADDED SUGAR and MORE PROTEIN than typical bars.
That includes Grass Fed Bone Broth protein that’s rich in collagen – the most abundant protein in our bodies (bones, muscles, skin, blood vessels, tendons AND the digestive system).They also incorporate healthy fats and other nutrient-dense foods like vitamin C rich acerola cherry, spirulina, turmeric and wild blueberries. I recommend the Lemon Meringue and Apple Cinnamon flavors.
158. Magnetic Bookmarks – These are great for marking recipes in cookbook or saving a spot in a favorite novel.
159. Pact Apparel Organic Socks – For women and men.
160. PaleoValley Grass-Fed Beef Sticks – This is the only company in the US that uses old-world methods of fermenting so that their beef sticks are shelf stable without the use of chemicals or questionable ingredients. Virtually all other similar snack stick products use GMO corn-based citric acid encapsulated in hydrogenated oils to process their products. Our favorite is the jalapeño flavor.
