Gift Cards From These Sustainable Brands Make The Perfect Last-Minute Gift

Last-Minute Gifting Happens.

We get it—as much as we may want to be intentional about buying gifts for our loved ones, sometimes life just gets in the way, and suddenly a gift card is the only option you have left.

Luckily, if you’re in this pickle, you don’t have to give up your ethics to buy your friend or family member a meaningful gift in time for the holidays. We’ve rounded up a quick list of ethical and sustainable companies offering gift cards for conscious gift-givers. From jewelry to makeup to clothing and accessories, there’s something here for everyone.

Although this list is relatively short, we’ve found that most ethical and sustainable companies carry gift cards online. If you are looking for ethically made and fair trade gifts this holiday season, be sure to check out our 2019 guides to Gifts That Give Back {For Women} and Gifts That Give Back {For Men}.
