The holidays are quickly approaching - and finding holiday gifts for our loved ones can be really fun but a little stressful. That’s why we’ve created this gift guide for those looking for the perfect gift for their loved one who prioritize sustainability and love to surf.
We’ve created two main categories in our guide - one for larger gifts and the other for stocking stuffers. We focused on showcasing artisan brands and smaller businesses that prioritize ethical sourcing and business practices that are not only environmentally sustainable but aim to make the world a better place for their employees and communities.
