We admit: When it comes to vetting products, we are tough. We research and try the heck out of something to ensure that it: 1.) amplifies our lives 2.) is ethically and sustainably made, and 3.) delivers on quality. This is a tall order, but one we love—especially this time of year, when we provide our favorites to you.

Our 2023 Gift Guide selects are nothing short of the best. Like in years past, you'll find a little of everything, from products to foods to services. Each is packed with intention (and nutrition, for some) and will undoubtedly please those you love—including yourself. Happy conscious gifting!

It’s autumn, which means pumpkin-flavored everything. But instead of reaching for the artificial flavoring, opt for using the real thing. The plump orange winter squash is low in calories but nutrient dense, offering a healthy dose of beta carotene, fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. Plus, it’s delicious baked in these muffins, which boast plenty of warming spices to satisfy your every fall-induced flavor desire.
