We all have someone on our shopping list that doesn't want anything for Christmas – and they actually mean it. Gasp. So what do you buy for someone who genuinely doesn't want any more stuff?

We've compiled a curated list of meaningful gift ideas that go way beyond just giving for the sake of giving. What better way to spread holiday cheer than with a thoughtful gift that continues to give well into the new year!

Earthlove

The premier subscription box for conscious eco-living, Earthlove delivers six to eight natural and earth-friendly products that also give back to environmental nonprofits. Every box supports a cause and is filled with eco-luxe artisanal products and a magazine with tips, DIY, activities and stories to help you enjoy the nature in your life. This is a truly perfect gift for the nature lover in your life. Purchase just one box or set your loved one up for a whole year of monthly gifts.

Misfits Market

This inspiring company is combatting food waste in America (we waste as much food as we eat!) and delivering fresh produce right to your door. They rescue misfit fruits, misshapen vegetables, and delicious but odd-sized produce that are perfectly edible but deemed not perfect enough for grocery store shelves. This means you get wonderful fresh produce delivered to your home at 50% off grocery store prices! Every box benefits farmers, helps prevent food waste, and ultimately helps save our environment. A perfect win-win gift for everyone!

Foster an elephant

This has been a long-time favorite in our family!

For as little as $50 you can foster an orphaned elephant or rhino for an entire year with the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Based in Nairobi, this incredible organization has made a real impact to protect and preserve Kenya's critically endangered elephants. They've raised nearly 250 orphans and even have their own anti-poaching teams!

We know from personal experience that fostering makes a great gift. DSWT does an amazing job sending monthly foster updates so the gift recipient can track their orphan's progress.

Mindfulness and Meditation Classes

Consider gifting your minimalist a certificate for mindfulness and meditation classes through an organization such as MNDFL or The School of Life. Most major cities have unique meditation and mindfulness studios for classes and workshops, so look around for local options as well.

Happy gifting!!
