If you’re looking for some unique gifts this holiday season, look no further! We’ve created this handy gift guide to showcase some of Karma’s most wrapping-worthy products that are sure to please. Make Karma Co-op your one-stop-holiday-shop! You’ll be supporting your co-op plus some truly amazing producers and artisans.

Klean Kanteen’s vacuum-sealed stainless steel food containers are great for bringing hot lunches with you anywhere. They are economically sensible and ecologically friendly. The Klean Kanteen Food Canisters keep food hot (or cool) for hours, and they’re also good for day trips, hikes or picnics. And Klean Kanteen still has a full lineup of stainless steel water bottles, too!

Beeswax candles produce negative ions and clean the air, all without the harmful chemical pollutants released by typical paraffin candles. All the more important through the holiday season, when many a candle is lit in celebration or commemoration. In addition to the usual pillars, sticks and tealights, you can also get beeswax candles in seasonal shapes like pine cones or Christmas trees.

This new lip balm is brought to you by local beekeepers (and Karma members) Melissa and Shawn! It is made with fair-trade cocoa butter and beeswax taken from hives in and around Toronto. Nearly everyone gets chapped lips at some point during the winter, so this would be a great stocking-stuffer for anyone on your list. $3.89 each.

Fair trade chocolate is always a big favourite during the holidays and thankfully Karma has a whole wall to choose from. Among your choices for stocking stuffers are Montreal’s Galerie au Chocolat, Orangeville’s Giddy Yoyo, BC’s Denman Island Chocolate and the co-operative choice, Cocoa Camino. Everyone loves getting chocolate as gifts!

Give the gift of Karma this holiday season with a gift certificate to the Best Bulk Store and Green Grocer in TO! Any denomination is available!

A gift on the practical side, Bunchafarmers’ Stain Remover stick is all-natural, biodegradable and made right here in southern Ontario. Just rub the stick straight onto stains caused by grass, grease, ketchup, wine, ink, etc., and then wash as usual. $2.69 each.

Everyone wants their clothing to come out of the dryer soft and static-free, but sometimes the options are dubious: ye olde dryer sheets can spread a layer of toxic stink onto your clothes, and those spiky dryer balls can actually cause damage. Moss Creek’s dryer balls are made of 100% merino wool. Each box contains three dryer balls. $15.49 each

There are many products in the store that people swear make a difference in their lives, and the St Francis Deep Immune is often at the top of that list. Deep Immune reinforces the basic functions of the body and helps maintain physiological and psychological equilibrium. It has a strengthening effect on our body’s “deep immune” system, nourishing its very bone marrow and enabling it to produce more immune reserves. Available in various sizes, capsules and even a children’s tincture.
