Whether this year has been a difficult or an easy one for you, may you find rest and peace in the Christmas season as you remember and celebrate why Jesus came to earth. He is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6).
The holidays are right around the corner and the shopping season seems to be starting early this year. I know I have already begun making my list and checking it twice!
My gift guides are designed to support businesses that are small, Christian-minded, or ethically sourced, as well as businesses that sell less toxic products and give back to others. I want my dollars to speak for my values.
Note-With the exception of Beautycounter (which I am a consultant for), these companies are not affiliates. I do not get paid for these recommendations; they are simply companies or products I have liked or would like.
I hope you enjoy these suggestions and would love to hear from you if you have a good experience with these companies!

- Bryan Anthonys Jewelry – Each piece comes with a card that makes the gift extra meaningful.
- Stacks and Steel – These stretch bracelets are so cute!

- Mary & Martha – They have gorgeous faith-inspired kitchenware and hosting items.
For Him

For Kids
- Play Maysie – These portable, magnetic dollhouses would be great for toddlers, plus they donate one to a foster child for every three sold!

- Miss Freddy – She is a photo organizing guru! Her courses would make a wonderful gift for someone who may be overwhelmed with digital photo organization or who wants to learn the basics about topics like Macs or DSLR cameras. She can also be hired to scan old photos or convert old VHS videos to a digital format.

- Gourmet Texas Pasta – These flavored pastas are so good! I personally love the lemon pepper pasta and pizza flavored pasta, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the flavors. This would be fun in a gift box of food items for a host gift or for someone who has it all.
