Better late than never, and these are a great reference for my favorite picks throughout the year anyway. Not to mention, Chanukah starts on Christmas night and goes into January 2025, so you can still get those gifts to people!
Clean Beauty Gift Guide: Most picks linked here or here unless linked separately below.
