HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR THE MOST STYLISH ECO-CHIC KIDS YOU KNOW

rockabye-mommy-holiday-gift-guide-blog-post.png

Can you believe that Christmas is only THREE weeks away?!! I hope you already have your stockings hung, Holiday Joy essential oil’s running all day, your house lights shining bright on your roofline and Christmas tree decorated to the nines. I sure don’t! I seriously have to get it together because there’s not much time left to enjoy it! I’m one to leave holiday gift shopping to the last minute. It’s never my intention, but it always ends up that way. I do it because my husband really enjoys the last minute hectic scramble. I swear. Just ask him. Doesn’t yours? ;) But hey, what can I say? I just do better under pressure! And my last minute gifts are pretty frickin great if I say so myself. So here I am, still ignoring my own list, yet creating a holiday gift guide for you. Makes sense.

BTW, this isn’t just any ole gift guide. I’ve researched each of these items to make sure that they are safe, clean and durable for the most stylish, eco-chic kids you know. I’m also sharing items that I think would be great gifts for your sisters or friends. All natural items that I use myself or that I have on my own list. Hope this helps get you started and on your way to finishing your shopping before the last minute swarm of people hit the stores (I might be there) or you’re stuck paying expedited shipping. Note - most of these links are for online only shops so get your orders in early enough for delivery before Christmas!

I hope you find something below that makes you want to buy it now and start checking boxes. If not, I’ve included a few other gift guides (links at the bottom) from health-conscious, like minded friends and folks that may have something for you too. Happy shopping!

armedangels- detox denim.

Affordable, ethical and on-trend. For those that want to join the #DETOXARMY.

birdies - slides.

I came across this store while in San Francisco one weekend. I tried on one pair of slides and knew I had to buy them. I left with two pairs. And am now eagerly awaiting another two new pairs that I ordered on black friday! These are seriously THE MOST COMFORTABLE flats I have ever worn. I have back problems of an 85 year old grandma and these pillows they tell you to wear on your feet are IT. The insoles are quilted, with their exclusive 7-layer cushion technology. By combining the support of a sneaker, the softness of a slipper and the style of a designer flat, Birdies has merged luxurious style and ultimate comfort. I’m telling you, you won’t regret it! $120 USD. CLICK TO SHOP.
