I’m super excited to bring you my gift guide for the 2024 holiday season! I have been working on this for some time now, and enjoy getting to share some of my favorite products and tools―including ones I have on my own personal wishlist.
My family and friends know me to be very practical, especially when it comes to gifting and receiving gifts. I have curated this guide with that same mindset: each of the products and brands that I share reflect my values for high quality, superb functionality, healthy lifestyle, and good aesthetic.
Well-BEing
VitaClay
7-in-1 Smart Organic Multi-Cooker
At the top of my personal wishlist this year: ancestral, non-toxic, and convenient cooking for 2025.
VitaClay’s 7-in-1 cooker model is perfect for slow cooking one pot meals, bone broths, rice, and even yogurt! The best part about the natural and organic clay vessels used in the Vitaclay cookers is that it achieves slow- and pressure cooker quality in up to half the cooking time.
Element Matcha
Premium Matcha Starter Kit
Why settle for costly, mediocre matcha lattes when you can enjoy premium, antioxidant-rich matcha at home?
Element Matcha is my favorite affordable, high quality, organic matcha supplier. Their matcha from Shizuoka, Japan is triple-toxin screened and their starter kit is the perfect gift for the matcha-lover in your life.

Walter Filter
Ceramic Water Filter
Your Brita filter just isn’t cutting it. Walter Filter is a gorgeous way to purify water at home. Takes a Berkey or Aquametix filter to filter toxins and impurities (including fluoride, which at our society’s level of overconsumption can pose risk to thyroid function and negatively impact brain health) from tap water. Each filter lasts for up to a year depending on usage, while the Walter vessel itself is a timeless piece that lasts a lifetime.
Each ceramic Walter filter is individually crafted from clay using non-toxic glazes that are food-safe and free of heavy metals.
Our Place
Wonder Oven
Our Place is in the business of making non-toxic, PFAs-free cooking tools that you'll actually use. The Wonder Oven is a 6-in-1 mini oven that bakes, roasts, broils, toasts, reheats, and air fries. It even has a steam infusion function for keeping interiors moist while it perfectly crisps up exteriors.
This is a great gift for the one on your list with a crappy air fryer or a small kitchen space.
Moon Juice
Cherry Sleepy Magnesi-Om
Give the gift of a good night's sleep. Moon Juice’s Sleepy formula, designed for occasional restlessness, features a biocompatible 0.3 mg microdose of melatonin (the same amount that our body naturally produces—you don’t want to overdo it!) and 200mg of L-theanine (twice of that in their original Magnesi-Om formula) for brain health and restorative sleep.
I love that Moon Juice's supplements utilize ionic and chelated minerals for higher bioavailability, which means better absorption. Magnesium bisglycinate supports muscle relaxation (GREAT for both muscle and menstrual cramps) and magnesium gluconate supports our bodies’ stress response. All of their supplements are also 100% traceable and 3rd party tested for toxins, purity, bio-identity, and potency.
Ghia
Le Fizz To Go Set
For your sober-curious loved one—a perfect sparkling substitute with a juicy yet deep and tannic taste that they'll love.
Antioxidant-rich berry juice and botanical extracts bring the calming and longevity-promoting benefits that you love from your favorite rouge—without the booze. What I love most about Ghia’s non-alcoholic apéritifs is that they are made of natural extracts and herbs like chamomile and gentian root. There is also very minimal sugar, providing sips that are naturally relaxing and still very sophisticated.

{Natural} Beauty
Canopy
Portable Humidifier
Beauty sleep for me means waking up without dry skin, or much worse, a dry nose or throat, from dry air conditions. Did you know that viruses thrive when we're dry?!
One of Canopy's most recent additions to their line of humidifiers is portable and ready to go with you everywhere: from the office, to the airplane, to the Airbnb, and much more—ensuring you always maintain both healthy skin and healthy airways.
Canopy
Filtered Showerhead
We filter our drinking water, but how about the water we bathe in? Those same impurities that we filter out of the water we drink and cook with can negatively affect our skin and hair.
Filtered showering water can help to improve the health of our skin and hair by reducing exposure to contaminants that cause dryness, irritation and inflammation. Canopy's filtered shower heads remove harsh contaminants, including chlorine and other heavy metals, softening water for a truly clean bathing experience.
What I personally love most about their shower heads are the amazing water pressure and the scalp massager that the handheld shower head comes with. 💆🏽♀️ Can’t forget how easy it was to install on my own!
Esker
Body Plane Set
The ancient Romans used a tool similar to this for their skin, and that's exactly who Esker was inspired by when they created one of my favorite bathroom tools.
The Body Plane is used post-shower or bath with your favorite body oil to exfoliate skin, revealing soft, vibrant, and nourished skin, while simultaneously promoting lymphatic drainage for healthy detoxing. Think of the Body Plane as a large gua sha for the body. The blunt edge is coated in hypoallergenic, antibacterial colloidal silver and is firm but gentle enough for scraping away dead skin while you give yourself a massage that supports circulation and a moisturized skin barrier.
Bare Hands
The Bare French Manicure Kit
Bare Hands is changing the game for nail care rituals. Their commitment to truly toxin-free nail care and beauty is exemplified in their new natural French Manicure set.
Including their hallmark Dry Gloss Manicure glass nail buffer, this new set stars a white pencil for whitening the undersides of nails for that classic "French" look sans polish. Minimal effort, plenty chic.
