Happy December Everyone! We are taking a short holiday break for the rest of the month, but before we go, we're sharing some quick tips for a conscious and ethical holiday season.

In this episode, we cover some ideas for eco-friendly gifts, like refillable beauty products and second-hand or more sustainably-made clothes. We also talk about the charm of homemade gifts - like Madeleine's special hot chocolate mix! - as well as some great alternatives to Amazon for online shopping. Plus, we explore unique alternatives for cards and wrapping, like seed paper and reused artwork.

Our favourite quote:

"What I love about holidays, birthdays, buying gifts for those you love is when you have a strong value system, it's an opportunity to invite people into this world of conscious consumerism and to challenge 'crunchy' ideas of being eco and instead think about these things a little differently." - Madeleine
