Gift-shopping can take a toll on anyone. Many can relate to compromising their free time, and feeling pressure to find something that tops last year’s ideas. Our gift-guide is tailored for those who value sustainability, environment, and wellness in all phases of life.
Here are some meaningful gift ideas we hunted down, so you don’t have to:
Comfort from AnaOno
Founder, Dana Donofree was just 27 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a double mastectomy and reconstruction, she founded AnaOno out of her own desire for beautiful lingerie that would fit her new body. Building on Donofree’s decade of experience in fashion and design, AnaOno improves the lives and confidence of women around the world whose bodies have been transformed by breast reconstruction, breast surgery, or mastectomy. Their hidden seams, wire-free styles, and four-way stretch fabric are just a few of the features that help eliminate pain points for their customers.

Premade Cookies from Sweet Loren
When Loren was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma she became very careful with everything she put in her body. She cut out artificial flavors, corn syrup, and hydrogenated oils while increasing her intake of whole food ingredients. Desperate to satisfy her sweet tooth, she came up with a cookie recipe based on unrefined cane sugar, whole grains, and natural ingredients and started taking orders from family and friends. Today, Sweet Loren’s offers four flavors of place-and-bake cookie dough that satisfies your sweet tooth without compromising on quality.
Pre-portioned cookie dough that is completely safe to enjoy raw as we use no eggs or dairy, all flours are naturally heat-treated, $45
Ethical Beauty from Angie Watts
Angela Hubbard, Founder and CEO of Angie Watts, created the natural, vegan and cruelty-free skincare collection right out of her kitchen after a long battle with her daughter’s eczema issues. After witnessing the remarkable benefits of using plant-based ingredients, Angie’s mission and commitment became to formulate her entire product line using only the natural healing properties of plants. Her products are certified cruelty-free by the Leaping Bunny Program and PETA.

Tracking from Bearable
The Bearable mobile app aims to empower people to reclaim control over their health by making mood and symptom journaling simple and effortless. You can automatically sync your steps, heart rate, blood pressure, weight, and record your mood, symptoms and health factors in seconds.
“I set out to create something people could enter into on the go, which recognised the importance of the connection between the mind and body. I wanted somewhere people could keep their mood and symptom entries in one place together with other health factors such as sleep, diet, exercise, medication, supplements, etc. It makes no sense to me to keep all this health data in separate apps when each can greatly impact one another.” – James, Bearable Founder
Bearable Premium gives you deeper level insights into your Moods, Symptoms, Sleep, and Factors. Gift Bearable Bearable on Apple or Android, $18.99 annually on Android, and $34.99 annually on Apple.
