The B Corporation will be publishing a holiday gift guide soon. It will be linked here once it comes out. The Evergreen B Corp Committee has shared their favorite places to shop this holiday season.

If you see a book you would like to purchase, and it isn’t at a local bookstore, and you are going to buy online, think about using Bookshop.org. They are a B Corp that shares a portion of the proceeds with the independent bookstore of your choice.
They also have e-books!

I’ve been a Bombas customer for years. I recently used their 100% Happiness Guarantee and was 110% happy with the response. Plus, they do ‘buy one-give one’, so every gift does double duty as a donation. Sign up for their email list for an instant discount and look for a sale in late November.
Fair Harbor makes men’s and children’s clothing and bathing suits from sustainable fabrics. They design with comfort and versatility in mind. (They used to carry a women’s line, but sadly not at this time.)

Sometimes its challenging finding the right gift, so I love me a good gift guide. Gifts for Good has lots of guides/collections to help narrow down the search.

Uncommon Goods has a great selection of fun gifts for family and friends. They have curated selections based on specific events and people in your life, which can help narrow the focus when shopping. Gifts for kids usually involve some sort of puzzles or thinking, which is always an added bonus to help their brains grow!
Patagonia Provisions is an arm of Patagonia which has preserved fish, shellfish, meats, and other items. They focus on sustainably raised, caught and harvested products and work with local producers to ensure their product lifecycles are as earth-friendly as possible. My 10-year-old particularly loves the tinned mussels, and we’ve enjoyed other items we’ve tried.

I love Who Gives a Crap toilet paper. WGAC donates a whopping 50% of its profits to creating clean water and sanitation solutions for people around the world who lack access. Plus, their toilet paper comes in extremely fun and colorful packaging that makes every bathroom visit more pleasant. And for anyone who says that toilet paper isn’t a gift, tell that to my mom. She has been gifting WGAC toilet paper to pretty much everyone she knows for years.

Being new to the B Corp committee, I really wanted to find a product I already use and love so I could share an honest review. Funny enough, one of my favorite tea brands, Bigelow Tea, is B Corp certified!
I’ve been drinking their teas for years because they taste so good and genuinely make me feel a difference. I also learned that Bigelow strives to produce electricity with fewer environmental impacts to help prevent global climate change. They use 100% recycled boxes for their products and have 870 solar panels at their headquarters. I’ve truly loved this tea brand for years, but learning more about its sustainability efforts makes me appreciate it even more!
Recommendations: Sweet Dreams is a favorite for relaxation and a good night’s sleep, and Lemon Ginger is my go-to when I feel a cold coming on.

I agree with Eric on Uncommon Goods. They provide unique, one-of-a-kind options. We know how much Evergreeners love their pets. When a team member has suffered a loss, we have been able to find something unique that reminds them of their pet in the best possible way.
Packed with Purpose is a great place to find meaningful gifts for family and friends for any occasion, including college care packages. They source from small businesses, use recycled and FSC-certified materials, and ship with minimal waste.
We have been buying our meat and seafood from ButcherBox for a while. Great quality, reasonably priced, delivered to your door, and animal welfare is prioritized.

Sharon put me onto King Arthur’s flour, and now I use that for all of my baking needs. We’ve been making our own bread for the past few months and are now getting into baking holiday treats.
They also offer recipes, baking tools, mixes, pans, and bundles – great gift ideas for new or experienced bakers.
