Some of the links below contain referral or affiliate links for my favorite non-toxic gifts. All of these are items that I have used and loved. If you use one of my codes, I may receive a small commission or discount for my own products at no additional cost to you.
It’s that time of year again: summer is over, kids are back in school, and the holiday season is upon us. So, to help you get ahead on your holiday shopping, I have put together the ultimate non-toxic gift guide for everyone on your holiday shopping list. This year, instead of buying the latest trend, find a gift that your loved ones will not only enjoy, but will also help them start the new year off right!
If you can’t decide on one single item, try creating a custom gift basket! If you’re shopping for someone who is not familiar with the number of toxic ingredients and chemicals they come into contact with daily, introduce them to some non-toxic alternatives! Pick out a nice basket, grab some ribbon, and pick out a jar of grass-fed tallow, a bottle of olive oil, some organic cotton kitchen towels, etc, and you have yourself a thoughtful and personalized gift!
Gifts for the Home Chefs
- New Hampshire Bowl and Board offers the perfect handmade wooden gift for home chef in your life. Pick from a list of bowls, cooking utensils, cutting boards, and more that are all handmade in New Hampshire.
- A great non-toxic pan option is the Bare Cast Iron Skillet from Stargazer: While there are several cast iron pans on the market, I love that you can order this one bare. The majority of cast iron pans come pre-seasoned using a thin layer of some type of seed oil. I wanted a cast iron pan that was free of this seed oil coating so that I could season it with grass-fed tallow.
- Did you know that a lot of slow cookers can leach toxic chemicals into your food? If you know someone who loves a good slow-cooked meal, try the 6 Quart Stainless Steel Slow Cooker from 360 Cookware. This slow cooker is made of stainless steel, meaning there are no toxic materials or heavy metals leaching into your dinner, no matter how long it simmers.
- Another option that is not as expensive and serves multiple functions is the Instant Pot! The stainless steel pot and lid means there are no heavy metals to leach into your food.
- Are you looking for a new toaster oven? The Our Place Wonder Oven: 6-in-1 Air Fryer, Toaster Oven, Broil, Bake, Roast, Reheat does it all and without any PFAs.
- Is someone you know on the hunt for new cookware? 360 Cookware’s Stainless Steel Cookware and Xtrema’s Ceramic Cookware are two great options that are free from the toxic materials found in nonstick alternatives.
- Did you know that plastic cutting boards could be adding plastic to your food? The best non-toxic cutting board material is wood. Many of the woods used are naturally antibacterial, making them a safe and non-toxic option for your cutting and dicing needs. Check out the Four Piece Wood Cutting Board Set from Caraway, or look for a good quality, single piece wood cutting board free of any toxic finishes like this one.
- New Set of Knives: Caraway, Williams Sonoma, and Sur La Table are all great places to look for a new set of kitchen knives. My personal favorite is Miyabi, which can be found at Sur La Table and Williams Sonoma.
- Another great and non-toxic option from 360 Cookware is the Stainless Steel Baking Sheet. If you know someone who loves to bake cookies, this would make a great gift!
- If someone on your shopping list loves to meal prep and they haven’t switched to glass storage containers, please help them! There are so many articles and studies that discuss the amount of plastic that penetrates our foods. Help them start their collection with these Glass Food Storage Containers or these ceramic coated ones from Caraway.

Tallow is an excellent fat source with a high smoke point to suit all of your cooking needs. The tallow from Lineage Provision’s is 100% grass-fed and finished, glyphosate-free and free of 450+ other contaminants.
- Finding a good quality olive oil is like finding a fine wine and the organic olive oil from Kassandrino’s is just that. My family loves their olive oil. It is always incredibly fresh, and their balsamic vinegars are amazing too! Even my kids love them!

- Do you know anyone that struggles to find the perfect pillow? Try buying them a buckwheat pillow! These pillows are made with an unbleached organic cotton casing and filled with buckwheat hulls from the midwest USA. I know buckwheat sounds crazy, but trust me, this is the most comfortable and supportive pillow I have ever used, because it forms perfectly to your head shape and neck, providing the perfect level of support.
- Now I know this may not sound like the most fun Christmas present, but the quality of the air in your home has a huge impact on your health, and with the number of VOCs and other chemicals that could be drifting through your air, the AiDoctor 3500 is a great gift! It removes everything from VOCs, smoke, bacteria, and viruses to pet dander, pollen, and mold.
Gifts for the Exercise Enthusiasts

Both of these protein powders are sourced from grass-fed and finished meat and dairy and are free of any nasty chemicals or filler ingredients.

- If the mom in your life loves to get her nails done, try buying her some non-toxic nail polish! Traditional nail polishes are often filled with toxic chemicals including Dibutyl phthalate DnBP, Toluene, and Formaldehyde, to name just a few. Your body absorbs these toxic substances, not only through your skin and nails, but also through the air you breathe when you walk into a nail salon. Great non-toxic nail polish options include Zoya, Palate Polish, Sally Hansen’s Good. Kind. Pure (find in your local drugstore), and Orly Breathable.
- If mom loves a good spa day but wants one without all the toxic ingredients, then why not buy her the Spa Kit from Primally Pure! Primally Pure makes incredible non-toxic skincare products including deodorant, body cleansers, body balms, skincare, and more. You can’t go wrong creating a spa gift basket!
Gifts for Dad
- Give the gift of non-toxic, undyed, organic cotton boxers to dad this holiday season! While underwear may not be the most exciting gift, there are studies exposing the dangerous chemicals found in men’s underwear and how it impacts their health. Check out NADS for a great option for dad.
- Holiday Pajamas are always a winner! Check out Petite Plume’s line of sleepwear for everyone on your list. These are incredibly soft, amazing quality, and dad will look sharp and feel like royalty.
- Does the dad or husband in your life like to keep a clean beard? Check out Primally Pure’s beard oil for a great non-toxic alternative to traditional beard oil.

- Do you have a child that loves to help you in the kitchen? Get them their very own chef set up! This Children’s Linen Pinafore Apron from Rough Linen is organic linen and you can get a matching one for yourself as well. And on top of that, check out this great cooking and baking set from Wee Sprout.
Gifts for Parents-to-Be
- The Nuna Car Seat is free of all flame retardants, uses GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, and has an incredible crash safety rating. If someone on your holiday shopping list is expecting a baby, or is looking to upgrade their carseat, then look no further!
- Baby wearing not only gives you a pair of free hands when you need them, but also creates an incredibly special bond with your little one. If you know anyone who is expecting or who recently had a baby, gift them a beautiful Wildbird Co. Aerial Buckle Carrier or one of their Linen Ring Slings that are free of harmful chemicals and flame retardants.
- Play is the best way for babies and toddlers to learn, so give the gift of a Lovevery Play Box Subscription. Parents can redeem the gift once baby is born, and the boxes will be sent every few months in accordance with the baby’s age, providing age and developmentally appropriate toys at every stage. All of the toys in the play kits are made with clean materials like organic cotton, non-toxic and water based dyes, and non-toxic wood.
- Give the gift of early baby development! This 3-in-1 Montessori Baby Mirror and Tummy Time Gym is a great gift!
- The perfect stroller is hard to come by, but my new favorite is the Uppababy Minu 2. This lightweight travel stroller works great and folds up easily, and is the perfect first stroller for parents-to-be.
