Gifting is on my mind again. I think I say it every year...our own favorites can make thoughtful gifts for those we believe might value them too. Our morning routines might be a good place to tune in to some favorites to share.

​Mornings are (hopefully) full of things that are useful, comforting +/or beautiful. I love finding just the right whatever-it-is + using it over + over...no need to keep trying new things + ending up with half used bottles under the sink. It's a great way to practice (+ share) zero-waste!  ;) It's also
 a great way to share a local or ethical company we believe in! 

If we take a look at our mornings + don't see a whole lot of comforting or beautiful...maybe a gift to ourselves would be to remove or add until we do. This might be something we could do with a friend...sharing new + old favorites discovered along the way.


Here are a few of the things that I use every morning...(plus a couple of things I wouldn't mind adding to my favorites).  ;)
  • I can imagine this robe adding a little sunshine to my mornings. (The thrifted men's shirt I wear works great too!)  
  • I use Everyday Oil on my face every morning. One tiny bottle lasts me a whole year.
  • Other than Everyday Oil + a little mascara, lip balm is the only other thing I wear on my face. Citrus scents don't seem to bother my allergies like floral ones do. (yay)
  • A stack of beautiful, unpackaged soaps makes a lovely (useful + consumable) gift. Look up a local soap maker.
  • A pack of most-loved, bamboo toothbrushes + some silk floss.
  • A morning playlist to get them moving + grooving.
  • A favorite locally roasted coffee or loose tea along with some local honey.
  • Homemade granola.
  • A favorite lotion that really moisturizes. These have been my favorites for years.

When we gift our favorites, it gives us a chance to really "see" + value the things we already own + enjoy using every day for the gifts that they are.

Love, 
Jane
