12 Sustainable Style Gifts Your Favorite Person Will Love

Choosing the right clothes and accessories is an art that builds our personal style. It requires a bold spirit to gift items that could become part of someone's regular rotation. Still, the satisfaction of finding your loved one the perfect piece is unmatched and proves a deep understanding of someone's taste and personality (if that's not love, idk what is!)

That said, navigating the holidays with a commitment to ethical consumption while expressing love for your dear ones can be challenging. As always, the brands below are vetted by SB. We’ve chosen them for their low-waste ethos, their safe (for you and the planet) composition, and their commitment to intersectional justice. Many of these brands are queer and BIPOC-owned, so you can gift consciously and sustainably!
