Kiwi Crate provides 5 to 8 year olds with themed crafts. Atlas Crate has fun geography and culture projects geared towards 6 to 11 year olds. Doodle Crate is for aspiring artists ages 9 to 16+, or choose Tinker Crate if they’re into engineering.

3 Good Vibes Coloring Books
Coloring isn’t just for little kids—it can be a fun way for any age to relieve stress and can provide a welcome break from electronic devices. Studies indicate that coloring shows promise for treating stress, anxiety, depression, and more, especially when intricate patterns known as mandalas are used. We like these high vibe options.

4 Eagles Nest Hammocks
If you are looking for an outdoorsy gift, Eagles Nest Outfitters has hammocks galore. These packable, travel-ready, knotless hammocks pack up small and light. We like the SingleNest, which is perfect for backpacking and backyard lounging alike. And, for every hammock sold, they plant two trees. eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com.

5 Hydro Flasks
VSCO girls notwithstanding, Hydro Flasks are the IT bottle—easy to use, high-quality, customizable, and most importantly they keep cold water ice cold all day. They come in two styles (wide mouth and standard mouth) and range in size from 12 ounces to 64. Not only are the bottles themselves a more sustainable option, but Hydro Flask donates to a slew of conservation nonprofits as part of its Parks For All initiative. hydroflask.com.

6 Philips Wake Up Light Alarm Clock
Early, dark winter mornings making it tough to get everyone up and going? Try Philips’ rise and thrive Wake Up Light. Inspired by nature’s sunrise, this alarm clock uses a unique combination of light and sound to wake in a more natural way, leaving you feeling more refreshed.

7 Jade Mats
Want to inspire some mindfulness in those around you? Then, a good mat is essential. Jade is committed to making the world’s best performing, most environmentally friendly yoga products and giving back to the earth with every product sold. Their mats are sustainable, made with natural rubber tapped from rubber trees, a renewable resource that contains no PVC, EVA, or other synthetic rubber. We love their Harmony Mat. jadeyoga.com.

9 Athleta Convertible Backpack
This sleek backpack is great for finicky tween and teen girls who need lots of pockets for various items such as gym clothes, chrome books, cell phones, folders, lip gloss, and more! It is also great for overnights, and a fully removable front pouch can be converted into a crossbody bag. The neoprene/nylon material wipes clean. athleta.com.

10 The Ultimate Bison Sock
Get ready for toasty toes and the perfect ski sock. The ultimate bison sock utilizes bison fiber, largely considered a waste product.
