Platterful Charcuterie Kits
COURTESY OF PLATTERFUL
"I’m typically shopping for far-away friends and family for the holidays, and I love the idea of sending a DIY charcuterie kit or charcuterie subscription box. It’s a gift and cozy holiday activity all in one! And for every Platterful box purchased, the company donates 10 meals to organizations that combat childhood hunger."

Beyond the community benefits, these blankets are gorgeous, thick, and cozy, and they're available in a huge range of patterns. The company is also committed to sustainability and partnering with artists (including a current collaboration with two Navajo artists) to showcase a variety of traditions in their products."

Evolution Earth Travel Neck Pillow
COURTESY OF CABEAU
"Several people I know are big travelers, so I'm giving them these super soft and supportive travel neck pillows for those long plane and train rides. The pillows feature material made from recycled plastic bottles, plus I feel good knowing that part of the purchase supports the manufacturer Cabeau's efforts to remove plastic from the ocean equivalent to what it uses in its own products each year."
— Viveka Neveln, Senior Garden Editor
