In these most uncertain times, we stick to what we know. And if there’s one thing we know, it’s shopping! In our first ever holiday gift guide, we’ll show you some of our favorite local (and non local) items to indulge in self-care, wellness, and just generally gorgeous items to adorn your space. Buy them for friends, family, and most importantly-treat yourself this holiday season!
Prints from Shelby Borer Photography
Shelby is a super talented Denver area photographer who sells prints of her gorgeous Colorado landscape and nature themed photos. These high quality wall hangings are the perfect gift for a nature lover or friend who just moved into a new house.
2. Osea vagus nerve oil
This luxurious oil contains scents that activate the vagus nerve, promoting stress relief and relaxation. Osea is a family owned business and all ingredients used are plant based, gluten free, vegan, and cruelty free. I like to massage this oil on my neck and temples to take me to a deep meditative state before bed or breathwork.
3. Spirit of the Herbs CBD Healing Salve
If you’ve seen us at Onyx, you’ve probably experienced the full-on sublime muscle-melting Spirit of the Herbs High CBD Healing salve. We put this stuff on everything! No but really, you can use this salve on muscle aches, scrapes and bumps, and dry skin. We love Spirit of the Herbs because it is another local female owned business and the ladies behind the products are badasses.
4. Mate the label sweatshirt
This sweatshirt is the perfect work from home top (and there are even matching sweatpants too for the ultimate comfort look). We love the color “rose” but would love to lounge in any of these amazing organic, sustainably sourced, and non-toxic fabric colors! While many clothing brands with similar values are wildly expensive, we love Mate because it is rather affordable and the pieces are so well-made so they will last a long time-well worth the investment!
5. Reiki session with Erin
Erin provides healing sessions involving hands-on technique for energy centers and press points to support the release and regeneration of energy. These sessions are an amazing compliment to regular acupuncture and Erin will have you feeling grounded, supported and safe after leaving her sanctuary.
6. Gift card to Just Be Kitchen for Paleo Food
Who wouldn’t love a giftcard to Denver’s most delicious paleo-friendly restaurant? We love Just Be Kitchen because not only do they use the highest quality ingredients, but they are completely transparent about the ingredients in each dish which is great for people with dietary specificities like gluten free, dairy free, vegan, paleo, even Whole 30. Don’t forget to check out their matcha latte!
7. Kate Maller jewelry
Looking for something sparkly for a special lady in your life? Kate Maller Jewelry is a Denver sustainable jewelry company, meaning that all silver and gold used is recycled and all diamonds are conflict free and free trade. The organic style of her jewelry highlights imperfections found in nature and one day we’d like to be adorned head to toe in her jewels!
8. The Adeptist Elixirs
These elixir powders are made with adaptogenic herbs, intended to serve as everyday stress support, while enhancing things like detoxification, calm energy, intuition and beauty. We love these powders because you can add them herbs to your smoothies, coffee, tea, baked good, yogurt, chia seed pudding and more- so versatile! Swap out your morning coffee for one of these elixirs plus warm nut milk and forget the jitters!
