2. Mold-free organic coffee
3. Copper Peptide Salve
Has she vowed to skip injectables? Gift her with Nature’s Botox so she can turn back time in a way that respects her biology. Copper peptides activate the skin’s natural wrinkle-removing system by gradually shifting gene expression to repair DNA. Just a few months into the year, she’ll be thanking you for fewer wrinkles, a fluffier face, reversed photodamage, smoother texture, and overall healthier skin. Buy for $97.

6. Carrie B. Wellness Resources
7. Blue-blocking skincare
Quantum Blue is the perfect gift for any woman in your life who wants to mitigate the stress of manmade blue-light exposure on her skin this winter. A luxurious blend of saturated fats and methylene blue actively repairs and prevents oxidative damage on the skin while boosting overall cellular energy. She’ll notice her skin is fuller, more hydrated, and more elastic— along with better energy levels and mental clarity. Pairs beautifully with a red light therapy device for the ultimate quantum revival gift. Buy for $89 ($67 US)
8. Body brush
What better way to start the new year than with perfectly exfoliated skin? Dry brushing is also amazing for circulation and supports lymphatic drainage. Her skin will thank you. Pairs nicely with our Fatskn Whipped Body Butter or Copper Peptide Salve for the total skin reset package. Buy for $14.
9. Whipped Sugar Scrub
Help her simplify her routine even further with the sugar scrub that doubles as a cleanser and moisturizer. In just one step, it buffs away dead skin cells, unclogs pores, encourages circulation, and seals in moisture. If she’s prone to dryness, buildup, or keratosis pilaris— this will be her new skincare sidekick. Buy for $45 ($38 US)
10. FATSKN Tallow Lip Balm
Help her beat chapped lips this season with a protective, tallow-based lip balm. Grass-fed tallow, raw honey, unrefined cocoa butter, and a touch of Alberta beeswax work together to repair and lock in moisture. She’ll be obsessed. Buy the trio for $40 ($30 US).
11. Barefoot Boots
Barefoot shoes are gaining traction in the wellness space because they’re just so good for you. They support foot strength, improve balance, and reduce the risk of injury. If she’s into Ugg boots (but not the clunky sole), surprise her with these as a comfy and on-trend replacement. Buy for $175.
12. Sheepskin Hot Water Bottle Warmer
Healing and indulgent. Perfect for getting cozy on chilly nights, relieving body aches or cramps, releasing neck tension, or warming her feet on an extra frigid night. The ultimate winter wellness gift. Buy for $95.
13. Red Reading Light
The best reading light out there. A practical gift for the bookworm on your list, but especially for night readers. This adjustable red light will allow her to turn pages into the evening without disrupting her sleep cycle. Maintaining the natural rhythms of the body is essential to metabolic health. Buy for $19.
14. Blue light glasses
A great gift for ladies who find themselves staring at screens all day– which, unfortunately, is most of us in our modern world. To help cancel out some of the negative effects, these stylish blue light blockers will keep her protected while she’s being productive. Plus, the yellow lenses work best for all-day protection without the added darkness of red lenses. Buy for $130.
15. Dr. Mary's Monkey
She won’t be able to put this book down. A fascinating deep dive into the horror that is our government and the medical/military/industrial complex— all without jumping to conclusions. If she likes a good rabbit hole, pick this up! Buy for $24.
16. Natural fiber clothing
We care a lot about what goes into our bodies– but we tend to forget about what goes on them. Remind her how important it is to wear natural fibers with a new pair of comfy leggings or basic layers made with organic cotton or merino wool. You can read about more places to find natural fiber clothing in this blog post. Buy for $93.
17. Dehydrated sourdough starter
Has she always wanted to bake her own sourdough? Bring her bread-making dreams to life by launching her sourdough journey with a dehydrated starter. Even if she doesn’t have the time (or patience) to build her own starter, she can easily reactivate this one in just a few days with flour and water. She’ll be slicing and serving her very own sourdough by the end of the week. Buy for $12.
18. Kyrgies
Cold winter weather means an even colder kitchen floor. These handmade wool house shoes will keep her nice and toasty all season long. Not only is wool a good-for-her natural fiber, but it's also moisture-wicking and odor-resistant. A win-win-win. These stylish slides come with a classic slipper sole or a more durable rubber sole that can be worn outdoors. Buy for $89.
19. Colostrum
Bovine colostrum is one of the best superfoods you can take for better health, especially skin barrier health! This “immune milk” contains over 400 bioactive nutrients the body needs to revive protective linings and rebuild barrier integrity. Small batch colostrum from Light Celler (CA) or Crucial Four Colostrum (US) is the way to go— this means they only collect it after the calf has had its fill.

Buy for $34 CAD
27. Sheepskin mattress pad
I finally splurged and got this mattress pad a few months ago and we are obsessed. You sleep directly on the sheepskin and just spot clean as necessary (all instructions on the East Perry website). No we do not get too hot, but we sleep with our bedroom around 67F and just use a cotton sheet and a feather duvet (no linen, remember? The frequencies of linen and wool apparently cancel each other out….or something like that I don’t quite understand haha!)

36. Wool socks
Who doesn’t love opening a box of some quality socks on Christmas morn’? (Just make sure he’s willing to part with all the ones in his drawer that have holes to make some room). A suitable stocking stuffer or supporting act to a new pair of barefoot boots. Buy for $29.
37. Custom leather works
A well-made leather belt, wallet, notebook, scorecard cover, or even an apron for grilling and woodworking are all incredibly thoughtful, masculine gifts he could enjoy for years to come.
