Some of us have already begun the holiday decorating, stocking up on ingredients for our favorite treats, but if you are waiting until the last minute on gift shopping, you may want to reconsider. This year the postal service is going to need a little extra time and if you have to mail your gifts, better leave a window just in case. In other words, if you like our holiday home, pet, beauty, and clothing gift guide, filled with sustainable, responsibly sourced, ethically made items, then get shopping!

Wrapping Paper
Marble + Vine
Gift wrapping can rely on wasteful materials that have been dyed, many of which cannot be recycled. This year, try incorporating a more sustainable wrapping option. We recommend Marble + Vine gift wrapping and bags, which are made from 100% recycled cotton paper!
Remember to keep the faith, hope and know that this too shall pass.
