A Better Bag
Great for holiday gift wrap! Clean up the planet with a reusable Better Bag. Reusing means you're not only using stuff again, it means less energy is being used to make more stuff. And that means you are keeping waste out of our landfills, less energy from being processed and fewer resources from being consumed. Now, you can feel less guilty about all those twinkle lights on your house!
Whole Foods Market™ Fleur de Sel French Caramels
Maybe sweet cream caramels are not the first thing you think of when France's famous hand-harvested sea salt crosses your mind, but it could be once you taste these! A real treat with Allegro Coffee® Celebration Caffé after dinner.
Panettone
Imported from Italy, this treasure is definitely not fruitcake. It's light in texture, slightly sweet and tastes of creamery butter and the cage-free eggs it's made from during a 36-hour process. Complete with sweet candied orange peel and plump raisins, it can only be described as "totally awesome." 3.5 ounces.
Divine Chocolate Milk Chocolate Coins
Looking for greater gelt? Kosher certified, these are made with the finest responsibly traded cocoa butter, guaranteeing you a tasty advantage and cocoa farmers an equitable deal.
Whole Foods Market™ Organic Lip Balm Trio
Zesty Ginger-Lemon. Cooling Wintermint. Soothing Vanilla. You could almost eat these—which inadvertently happens with lip balm anyway. So, if it's going to happen, it might as well be organic, right?
Big Dipper Wax Works Aromatherapy Votive Candles
When it comes to candles, beeswax is synonymous with long burning, clean burning and steady flame. Can you read the word "value" between those lines? These votives are naturally scented in Pine, Spice or Mint so they make good—not artificial—sense, so to speak.
Gifts for $10 or less
The FEED 100 Bag
Each FEED 100 bag represents a donation of 100 meals to kids in Rwanda. 100 meals go to kids via the World Food Program's Rwanda School Feeding Operation. We pre-paid the $10 per bag to feed the kids and have also donated the costs to produce these high-quality, 100% organic cotton and natural burlap bags. Made as eco-friendly and fairly as possible in audited and certified facilities, find them at Whole Foods Market or order online through FEED.
Whole Foods Market™ Truffled Roasted Walnuts
Congratulations are due if you pick these up because you have discovered one of the best chocolate bangs for your buck. Made in France with just a few simple ingredients, including premium roasted walnuts and rich chocolate, it's best not to open them when you're alone.
Whole Foods Market™ Pâtes de Fruits Chewy Fruit Gems
Here's one of those times when you think something is really snobby until you taste it. And then you realize what all the hoopla is about and you forget any such thoughts and can't believe you can buy them at such a great price! They're a little sweet, a little tart, made with real fruit and unforgettable.
Bouchard Belgian Chocolate Collection
If life really was a box of chocolates, this is the box you'd want to inhabit! With each bite of these handmade chocolates, discover diverse and tantalizing taste sensations under a covering of dark, milk or white chocolate. Made with the finest natural ingredients and according to the traditions of Belgian chocolate craftsmanship.
Burt's Bees Bee Keeper Tin
Give a winter's worth of relief for dry lips, neatly packaged in a reusable tin holding either classic or mixed balms that seal in hydration with natural beeswax. The classic tin includes 4 recycled plastic tubes of original Burt's Bees Lip Balm. Burt's Bees provides funding for the Honeybee Health Improvement Project and other efforts that help preserve the world's bee population.
Divine Chocolate Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar
As if opening the little windows isn't fun enough, these open to luscious, responsibly made, high-quality chocolate. That's added value! Traditional Adinkra symbol decorations from Ghana remind one of the connection to ethical trade with people in faraway places.
Zum Goat's Milk "Peppermint Candy" Soap
Too cute…soap that looks like peppermint candy! And made with phenomenal ingredients and a cause or two, too. Buying these fantastic-quality soaps is money well spent because some of it goes to breast cancer research and to finding homes for homeless dogs.
Nature's Gate Organics Lotion and Body Wash Gift Set
There's so much good in these bottles, they're about to burst out of their value pack. Through partnership with WaterAid America they include ethically traded ingredients from Ethiopia, a country lacking clean water. There's no parabens, phthalates or lauryl/laureth sulfates, either.
Maggie's Organics Organic Cotton Scarf
What do you get for the price of a scarf? a) Soft, lightweight, organic cotton jersey in one of four colors; b) good feeling for supporting a family-owned company; c) more good feeling because they work with business partners that guarantee livable working conditions for their producers; d) hopefully a thank-you note!
Big Dipper Wax Works Aromatherapy Candle in a Square Tin
Convenient and deliciously scented with a long burning, clean burning and steady flame. These are bigger and a bit more giftable in their recyclable, reusable tins.
Roy Toy's Earth Friendly Boxed Log Cabin Play Set
How much is nostalgia worth? Well, can you build with it? Using wood from responsibly managed forests and food-grade dyes, this play set is just like the original from 1930 with a realistic quality and tight fit for stable building.
Gifts for $15 or less
Jo's Candies Peppermint Bark or English Toffee
A gift of holiday candy can be just the thing, but you can't always be sure of the quality. There's no question here, trust us. Choose natural peppermint candy in layers of premium dark and white chocolate, or roasted almond buttery toffee drenched in milk chocolate.
Big Dipper Wax Works Beeswax Ornament Candles
Here's some beeswax you'll totally want to invest in. They're hefty spherical candles "carved" with beautiful all-over designs—three to choose from. Clean burning and naturally aromatic with a subtle honey scent, they make very lovely gifts. Seriously.
Top 10 Holiday Wines
Guess what? It's neither a crime nor a cop out to give wine as a gift! Our Top 10 Wines list this year includes some incredible bargains of very good quality. It is actually against the law to sell wine in some of our stores, and in some of those it's not legal to offer a discount when you buy 6 or more bottles. Others, it's perfectly fine. So, here's the deal…ask!
Blue Orange Pocket Games
Eco-friendly wood. Educational. Award winning. Colorful. Fun. Two trees planted for every one used. Worth every penny. Need we say more? Oh, crazy silly names: Quack Quack, Bendomino Junior, Bingory and Nutty Nut.
ImagiPlay Puzzles
Along with the puzzle, there's a mission here. The company's. And that is to design toys that help children connect with nature and inspire them to love and respect animals and their habitats. Naturally they use durable, eco-friendly materials, too. Your mission? Choose the Dog Family or Cat Family puzzle.
And a few for $20 or less
Maggie's Organics Trio of Organic Cotton Knee-High Socks
To clarify, a "trio of socks" isn't a money-saving tip of giving three single socks to try to match up to the ones whose mates got lost in the dryer. This is three pairs of soft and snuggly organic cotton socks with a snowflake design in a recycled gift box. A practical gift that's also something special.
ImagiPlay Tumblin' Tree
There are no carelessly destroyed trees involved here. This responsible, thoughtful company plants more than 5000 trees each year and supports environmental organizations as it creates eco-friendly, handcrafted, wooden toys that are naturally safer for children.
Roy Toy's Earth Friendly Play Set
Your budget may not include a life-size—or even a kids' size—Tree House, Farm or Log Cabin, but you can certainly afford to support a child's imagination. These are re-releases of classic old-fashioned sets made with responsibly managed forest wood and food-grade dyes.
