This holiday season, we’re getting in the spirit by getting quick tips on what to give, what to get, and how to celebrate from a few of our most inspirational friends. First up in our Giftspiration Survey, Haley Boyd—a designer and eco-minded lifestyle muse who we turn to for advice on everything style and sustainability.
Best gift you’ve ever received…
A poem, a piece of art, or anything handmade.
Best gift you’ve ever given…
I bought my three-year-old niece nontoxic, sparkly nail polish from Nailmatic and we now do mani pedis constantly. She is so enamored with it, and it’s a special thing for us to do together.
Favorite True Botanicals product to give…
The Renew Mist is always a hit—for every age and skincare routine.
Favorite charity to support…
Earth Alliance is an amazing non-profit protecting the planet and preventing climate change. A donation in someone’s name would be a great gift and way of supporting the greatest challenge of our lifetime.
Tip for a more sustainable holiday…
If you’re flying over the holidays, consider offsetting your emissions by donating to an organization like Gold Standard.
Go-to holiday dish…
Ina Garten’s French apple tart. If you can find yuzu jam, I recommend subbing that for the apricot jam the recipe calls for.
Rituals for keeping calm during the holiday hustle…
Taking walks and magnesium salt baths
