Welcome to my second holiday gift guide in as many days! There are SO many great choices out there. This guide offers some gifts for folks who like want to be more stylish, like to try new things, travel and like gifts that give back. I could probably write 20 more versions but don’t worry, I won’t. Check out my Gift Guide for Fit Folks – there are some sure things on there for the fitness focused folks in your life. I am also planning a stocking stuffers post, so stay tuned! Without further ado – awesome gifts for everyone many people in your life…
For the Stylish/Wanna Be Stylish:
Stitch Fix Gift Card – It may be too late to find the perfect outfit for the the gal or girl in your life, but you can get a Stitch Fix gift card. What’s Stitch Fix? It’s an online personal styling service. Stitch Fix has women’s sizes XS-XXL (0-16) and men’s sizes XS-XXL (waist sizes 28-42), as well as maternity and petite clothing. The recipient fills out a style profile. Each month (or time frame that works for them), they receive a shipment with five items. Then, he/she chooses what he/she likes and returns the rest for free. The $20 styling fee is applied toward anything purchased. My fave feature, if you buy all 5 pieces, you get 25% off. I was late to the Stitch Fix party, but I love my quarterly deliveries so far. It’s a great gift!
For Someone Who Likes to Try New Things:

For the Do-Gooder:
Sudara “Punjammies” – These pajamas for men, women and kids are helping to make a better, safer life for women in India. The Indian-made pajamas are made by women taught to be seamstresses to keep them out of human trafficking, and give them a new, better community to be part of. Plus, they look (and feel) awesome. It’s a win-win! From $29 sudara.org
PACT is “obsessed with a big idea: Clothes that make the world a better place.” They make socks, underwear and clothes that are ethically manufactured with fabrics that feel good and go easy on the environment. This season, every purchase helps lend a hand to low-income women entrepreneurs who want to start their own business. Anyone who says they don’t want socks for a gift has never tried PACT. (I love my PACT undies, too!) Right now, get 25% off (click code on site) and order by 12/20 to get in time for Christmas.
Bird & Stone – When you buy something from Bird & Stone’s jewelry line, from founder Elana Reinholtz, you directly impact women’s lives in the developing world. Partnering with African microfinance initiative the SiSi Fund, Bird & Stone works with 70 widowed female entrepreneurs in villages outside Kitale, Kenya. 15% of proceeds go toward microloans and financial training. They have great holiday deals right now, too!
Rebel Nell – Rebel Nell was started with the sole purpose of employing, educating and empowering disadvantaged women in Detroit. They make jewelry from unique local materials, while providing a transitional opportunity for women in Detroit. Their goal is to help these women move from a life of dependence to one of self-reliance, overcoming barriers to employment through the fruits of their own labor. Check out awesome jewelry for her and cufflinks for him!
Shinola Watches – Speaking of Detroit, Shinola watches is bringing manufacturing jobs back to Detroit. They are training workers and making high quality watches with great partners. They make other high quality products and even bikes, too!

I must admit this was tough! I could do this for days! Sharing my fitness faves was a bit easier as “taste” is not as much of an issue.
