2024’s Gift Guide is sponsored in part by Savvy Rest!
Savvy Rest is a really great brand for all things bedding & furniture. They carry organic mattresses, pillows, sofas, bed frames, and more.
I’ve picked out a couple of giftable items from Savvy Rest (linked below), but I encourage you to check out their full collection to see if anything jumps out at you. If someone you love has back pain, then maybe an organic mattress topper would make a good gift idea. Or if one of your family members is pregnant, a crib mattress could be a great group gift idea. Most of their products are made in the USA and it’s all high-quality and healthy for your home.

Splurge-Worthy Gifts Over $150
Here are some ideas for sustainable, ethically-made, and organic gifts for your closest loved ones that are worth the extra coin. 😉
1. Dog or Cat Bed from Savvy Rest: Your furry BFF deserves the best! Savvy Rest is one of my favorite brands for organic mattresses and natural furniture. For pets, they have a Savvy Doggy bed and a Savvy Kitty bed, both of which are available in either black or natural (off-white), and either formed or shredded latex. (The formed one has more of a memory foam feel, and the shredded one is more plush and cushion-y.) The Savvy Kitty just comes in one size, but the Savvy Doggy is available in small, medium, or large. You can also choose if you want to include a waterproof liner or not. | $119-$418 Code: THEFILTERY20 for 20% off.
2. Desavery Skincare Gift Set: If your loved one loves *luxurious* skincare, I definitely recommend checking out Desavery. Their skincare products are body oils are made from all natural, minimal ingredients, and they smell sooo good. In fact, the creator of Desavery literally formulated them to help you destress. I can tell you from first-hand experience that these products definitely help me to take a moment out of my day to slow down and regulate my nervous system. | $235 Code: THEFILTERY for the 15% off your order.
3. Weighted Blanket from Bearby: I absolutely LOVE my Bearaby weighted blanket. I’ve had it for years and I use it pretty much every night while I’m winding down on the couch reading or watching TV. Bearaby carries a wide variety of weighted blankets in different sizes, colors, weights, and materials. I personally have the Tree Napper, which is made out of non-toxic, plant-based TENCEL fabric, which is cool to the touch (and it really is!). They also have some made out of 100% organic cotton. | $139-329
4. 4-Quart Slow Cooker Set from 360 Cookware: This slow cooker from 360 is made in the USA out of surgical-grade stainless steel and has zero PFAS or other non-stick coatings. Even better, it’s more versatile than your typical slow cookers: you can take the stock pot off and use it on the stove, too! | $430 (but you can get code THEFILTERY to get 25% off).
5. Hiking Boots From Keen: My husband and I both have Keen hiking boots and we love them. They are one of the only outdoor gear brands that is PFAS-free (since 2018!). They still have waterproof ones, but they’re made without PFAS. They have sizes for men, women, and kids. | $75-220
6. Plastic-Free Automatic Coffee Maker from Ratio: This is definitely an expensive one, but this is one of the ONLY automatic coffee makers I’ve been able to find that is pretty much plastic-free. This would be a great gift idea for the coffee-lover who drinks coffee every single day but doesn’t like to manually brew it. And you can help them cut down on microplastic exposure! | $799
7. Wonder Oven from Our Place: The Wonder Oven is a PFAS-free 6-in-1 air fryer and toaster oven with steam infusion. Perfect for the person who loves those kitchen gadgets but is trying to ditch the “forever chemicals”! You can air fry, bake, roast, toast, reheat, and broil with this thing. AND it looks great on the countertop, too! | $195
8. The Complete Kit from Jackfir: Even though Jackfir’s natural facial care products are targeted toward guys, I use and really like them. Their Complete Kit comes with everything your man needs for a basic facial care routine—a Daily Cleanser, Moisturizer, Shave Cream, and Under Eye Cream. They’re made with non-toxic and natural ingredients, and are third-party verified by EWG. The brand is inspired by the great outdoors—and more specifically, the Adirondacks! | $153
9. Portable Sauna from Therasage: If you don’t have the space or budget for a big fancy sauna, you can still get the benefits of sauna therapy from this portable one. This is the one I have! It’s got panels of full-spectrum infrared, red lights, and is very low EMF. It can fold up and fit into your closet when you’re not using it! | $1,299
10. Body Pillow from Hiamom: I’ve been sleeping with this ergonomic body pillow and it’s really comfortable. It’s firm enough that it provides the support your body needs, but it’s still plush. The outer cover is made out of soft GOTS certified organic cotton and it’s filled with with premium wool harvested from sheep grazing on small farms in New York. It’s technically marketed as a pregnancy pillow (making it a great organic gift idea for a mom-to-be), but anyone and everyone can use it! | $199 Code: THEFILTERY for 10% off.
Gift Ideas Under $150
1. Organic Kapok Pillows from Savvy Rest: I think a set of really nice, organic pillows would make a great gift because it’s a mix of practical and luxury. This Savvy Rest kapok pillow is soft and plush, and has a feel that’s similar to down (except kapok is vegan). And the outer casing is made of organic cotton, so there are zero synthetics here. One of the best parts is that you can customize the fill, so your giftee can open up the pillow and remove/add more or less kapok depending on their preferences. | $135+ Code: THEFILTERY20 for 20% off.
2. Wool Slippers from Baabuk: Slippers are a great gift idea for pretty much anyone! These slip-ons are made mostly out of natural New Zealand wool (combined with some organic cotton for the inner lining and natural rubber on the bottom). They come in a variety of different colors and styles, too. The ones you see here are the “Mel” ones, but they also have low-rise, high-rise booties, sneakers, and more. I’ve had a pair of Baabuks for years and I can tell you—they are so comfy & cozy! They are great house shoes for the entire winter season. | $79
3. Non-Toxic Perfume/Cologne from Henry Rose: Certified by EWG, Cradle to Cradle, and Leaping Bunny, Henry Rose actually publishes all of their ingredients for their customers to find easily (which is rare for a fragrance brand). In my opinion, their scents can absolutely compete with ‘conventional’ fragrance brands. You can either just pick out a bottle, buy a pre-made gift set, or make your own gift set. | $55+
4. Wildling Empress Collection: I love my Wildling Empress Collection; I’ve been using it for years now. It just smells and feels so luxurious! Like the epitome of ‘self-care.’ This 3-piece gua sha set makes for a really wonderful self care ritual. It includes the Empress Tonic, used to prepare the skin for gua sha by activating skin detoxification, The Empress Oil, which works with the tonic to hydrate and plump skin, and the Empress Stone, used to massage the natural ingredients into the skin while sculpting and toning. | $129
5. MATE Activewear Set: If your loved one likes working out, you may want to consider an outfit from MATE—one of the most popular brands for non-toxic leggings, sports bras, and loungewear. They use GOTS certified organic cotton (combined with a little bit of spandex for stretch) and non-toxic dyes, and everything is made sustainably in Los Angeles. | $146 (for a leggings + tank set)
6. Organic Picnic Tote from Aplat: This heavy-duty organic cotton canvas tote is a great way to pack a bottle of wine, snacks, and other essentials for a picnic or party. It carries one bottle horizontally and has three side pockets to hold small cups, a cheese board, snack items, and accessories. These totes are made in San Francisco in small batches out of 100% GOTS certified, preshrunk and food-safe organic cotton canvas and low-impact dyes. Plus, it’s machine-washable! | $52
7. Meditation Cushion from Carolina Morning: If your loved one is a meditator (or wants to be!), check out these cushions from Carolina Morning. They offer circular, rectangular, and crescent-shaped pillows that are available in a couple of different sizes. They’re firm yet comfortable, providing the support needed even for a long meditation. They’re made from a variety of eco-friendly and organic materials like organic cotton, buckwheat hulls, and kapok fibers. | $70-$81
8. Organic Waffle Robe from Coyuchi: This classic unisex spa robe is made from GOTS certified organic cotton in an airy waffle weave and is available in a variety of solid colors. It comes in sizes XS to XL. | $98

Pre-Made Gift Basket (Including Custom Corporate Gift Box Options) from Packed with Purpose: Packed With Purpose offers both pre-made and custom-made gift boxes that are filled with thoughtfully curated items, all of which support social impact causes in one way or another. If you’re buying gifts for your employees or clients, you can make them look extra sharp with your own branding. They can help you find the right fit, whether you’re going for “Employee Recognition,” “Client Appreciation,” or something else. | $30-260
10. Spice Pack from Diaspora Co.: Diaspora sources South Asia’s freshest, heirloom, and single-origin spices, directly from their partner farms to bring you next level flavor and fragrance. It’s customizable too, so you can choose which spices you want to include. And they all look really nice in the container, so it’s automatically got a good presentation factor. | $60+
Affordable Gifts Under $50
1. Non-Toxic Candles from Fontana: Candles always make a great gift! And I personally really like Fontana Candle Co. They use safe and natural ingredients like coconut oil, beeswax, and plant oils that vary according to the scent. They’re MADE SAFE Certified too, which is one of the most strict third-party certifications for ingredient safety. You could grab a single candle, or if you wanted to do a gift set, you can get a bundle discount on their best sellers, in either 9 oz glass jars or 6 oz metal tins. | $15 (single candle) – $70 (bundle) Code: THEFILTERY15 for 15% off.
2. Socks With A Cause from Conscious Step: It would be a gift guide without SOCKS, am I right?! All of Conscious Step’s socks are Fair Trade certified and made primarily out of organic cotton. They have all kinds of fun designs, and you get to choose the cause that is most important to the man in your life. Choose between water conservation, animal rights, social equality, breast cancer prevention, LGBTQ+ advocacy, kids’ education, and lots more. | $14 – $45 (for a set)
3. Coffee Subscription from Purity Coffee: Purity Coffee is not only certified USDA organic and Smithsonian Certified Bird Friendly, but it’s also free from mold & mycotoxins (a common problem with coffee). With their Gift Subscription, you can pre-pay for 3 or 6 months of coffee, which will be delivered to your giftee monthly. You can choose between ground or whole bean. |$65 (3-month subscription) – $125 (6-month subscription). Use code THEFILTERY20 for 20% off.
4. Game of Thrones Soap Bundle from Dr. Squatch: Dr. Squatch creates “manly” all-natural soaps and other personal care products made without toxics. This GoT Collection comes with 3 bar soaps and a cool gift box. They also have other fun themed bundles like Batman, Star Wars, and Harry Potter. (Note that Dr. Squatch does include “Naturally Derived Fragrance” in their ingredients, which is not ideal because it’s not totally transparent. But it is all natural and phthalate-free. I personally think it might be worth the exception for the huge GoT fan in your life!) | $38
5. Handmade Wool Tie from Daisy & Oak: A necktie is a classic gift for any guy, but especially those who have to dress up for work or like to go out to fancy dinners a lot. Daisy & Oak has been providing handmade and bespoke accessories for over 15 years now! You can choose if you want just the necktie, or you can add a bowtie and/or a pocket square. They have a ton of different colors and patterns available, made from wool and silk. They offer gift wrapping, too! | $20 – $40
6. Linen Apron from Magic Linen: For the chef in your life, considering getting them a high-quality apron. I actually have a linen bathrobe from Magic Linen and I really love it. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and pretty! They come in a variety of options, including solid colors, patterns, sizes (including kids’!), and designs (like bib, cross-back, etc.). As the name suggests, they’re made off 100% natural linen which comes from European flax, and they are OEKO-TEX certified. | $49
7. Unscented Hemp + Magnesium Lotion from Piece of Mynd: This is a good idea for the person in your life who either a) has trouble sleeping, or b) has a lot of aches and pains. I love putting magnesium lotion on in the evenings—I think it really does help! This one is fragrance-free and it combines the power of magnesium and hemp to provide effective relief and nourishment for your skin and muscles. It’s made by hand in Alaska out of minimal, natural ingredients! | $25
8. Reusable Water Bottle from The Filtery: Shameless plug for our own merch! Our water bottles are actually made by HydroFlask, which is a brand I’ve been recommending for years. They’re made out of 18/8 pro-grade stainless steel and can keep your drink hot or cold for hours. They’re lead-free and low-plastic (only the lids/straws). They’re super durable too. You can choose between a standard water bottle, or if your giftee is a Stanley person, you can grab a tumbler instead. | $45-50. But you can use code HOLIDAY for 25% off + free shipping.
9. Artisan Made Coasters from Made Trade: This is an affordable gift idea for your colleague or coworker who you may not know very well.
