The post The Best Cyber Monday Sales From Sustainable Brands — Updated Daily appeared first on The Good Trade.

The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

If you’ve been waiting for a sale on your favorite sustainable item, we’ve rounded up the best Cyber Monday offers from brands we love.

As a kid in the ‘90s and ‘00s, I watched grown adults on the news, fist fighting over TVs and trampling one another for an iPod on Black Friday. The horror stories I’ve heard have only ever kept me far, far away from any retail store the day — and now, even weekend and Monday after — after Thanksgiving. It’s nearly impossible to avoid the noise of sales and stuff literally the day after a holiday apparently committed to gratitude here in the US. (And which deserves its own conversation — read more about the true history of Thanksgiving).

But one of the biggest conversations we have frequently, with each other and with our readers, is how to make sustainable choices on a budget. Well-crafted and fairly made goods are inherently more expensive than those available on the ultra-mass market, sometimes leaving folks who have less money to spend feeling excluded. But exclusivity is not a sustainable approach, either.

So to make these purchases more accessible, we’re sharing a roundup of brands offering holiday sales over Black Friday and Cyber Week — and we encourage you to use this list as a reference for gifts and goods you were already planning to buy. If you’re stumped on gifts this year, our reader survey roundup provides valuable insight on over 400 of our dedicated readers favorite sustainable brands. For even more inspo, we’ve also curated gift guides on the best sustainable gifts for her (and him!), experience gifts, wellness gifts, sleep gifts, gift boxes, and gifts under $50. (You’ll find some of the brands on these lists also included in the sales below!) If you already have a specific brand or item in mind, skip all the rest and hit Ctrl+F or ⌘+F on desktop to search the page for what you want. (If you’re on mobile here’s how to find on page on Apple and Android devices.)

Bear with me as I update daily as new sales are announced and others end; this guide is meant to be a living, breathing resource for you to check back in on and see if any products on your list are available at a discount. I’ll be updating through the first couple days of December to include some Cyber Monday and Cyber Week sales, so keep an eye out!

So this year, maybe you’ll find one or two items you’ve been looking for, but I also wish for you a weekend of rest, community, and quiet.

**Editor’s Note: This piece is being updated as sales go live!

She tested matching PJ sets, robes, dresses, and even a silk eye mask — here's what she thought.

The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

When I was growing up, my family always got to open a new set of holiday jammies on Christmas Eve. Through the years, I learned which materials and prints tended to only last for a week or two before feeling outdated or falling apart, and which I found myself reaching for again and again all year round.

While the bright, festive prints are hard to resist this time of year, we like to prioritize natural and organic fabrics that are made with care. Whatever we add to the pajama drawer needs to be comfortable and breathable, and able to withstand many washes without losing shape, color, or softness. Is that so much to ask?

Why shop for sustainable and organic pajamas?

It turns out that what we sleep in is just as important as what we sleep on. Synthetic fabrics like rayon, polyester, and acrylic have all been found to contain PFAS, “forever chemicals” that don’t ever break down after being absorbed into our bodies and the earth. These chemicals have been linked to a number of serious health concerns, like asthma, cancer, and endocrine disruption. But because PFAS are also often used to achieve textile enhancement properties (wrinkle-resistance, water-repellant, quick-drying), they can be found in some natural materials like non-organic cotton as well. Which is why choosing certified organic fabrics that have been cleared for PFAS use is so important. 

What are the benefits of organic and natural fiber pajamas?

First, let’s talk breathability. Natural fibers like organic cotton, linen, or bamboo allow air to circulate around your body, which helps regulate temperature as you sleep. That means less waking up in a sweaty tangle of sheets and more uninterrupted, cozy rest. Unlike synthetic fabrics, which can trap heat and moisture, natural materials keep things fresh and dry — even on warm nights.

Then there’s the weight and feel. Natural fiber pajamas often have a softer, more luxurious drape that gets better with each wash. Whether you like crisp and cool or warm and plush, you can find a natural fabric to match your preference — and they won’t weigh you down or cling like synthetic blends often do.

Durability is another plus. While fast fashion sleepwear can pill or stretch out quickly, high-quality organic PJs tend to last longer and hold their shape. Because they’re made without harsh chemical treatments, the fibers stay strong without breaking down prematurely — saving you money and reducing waste.

And here’s the kicker: Many synthetic pajamas are treated with chemicals like PFAS (also known as “forever chemicals”) or flame retardants, which can act as endocrine disruptors and have been linked to hormone imbalance, fertility issues, and more. Organic sleepwear avoids these altogether, giving you peace of mind that you’re not absorbing hidden toxins night after night.

How to choose the best pajamas for yourself (and anyone you’re gifting!):

When it comes to choosing the best pajamas, it’s all about finding the perfect blend of comfort, seasonality, and personal style. Start by thinking about the time of year and where the lucky recipient lives — lightweight, breathable fabrics like organic cotton, linen, or bamboo are ideal for warmer climates, while cozy flannel or thermal cotton is perfect for cooler ones.

Next, consider the style: Some people love the effortless feel of a flowy nightgown, while others gravitate toward the structure and coverage of a matching pajama set. Think about what makes you feel most at ease as you unwind, and ask your loved ones about their own preferences. Fabric choice is key — natural, breathable materials like organic cotton, TENCEL™, and modal are soft on the skin and better for those with sensitivities.

Pay attention to the fit, too: Waistbands, buttons, and elastic should be secure but never restrictive. Bonus features like pockets, adjustable waists, or machine-washable designs can make all the difference in your bedtime routine.

And for those who care about sustainability, look for brands that use ethical production methods and carry certifications like GOTS or OEKO-TEX. The best pajamas are the ones that feel effortless, match your lifestyle, and help you ease into sleep in total comfort.

Our criteria & methodology:

The Good Trade team hand-picked sustainable brands with pajama offerings for this test — and I was sent the ten options below for review. I slept for multiple nights in each set, and made notes on fit and comfort (including breathability, softness of materials, and warmth). We update this list with new favorites when they meet the following criteria.

We tested 10 sustainable pajama brands to find the best in comfort, breathability, and style. Each set was worn for multiple nights and judged on softness, fit, warmth, and how well it could double as daywear.
  • SIZE-INCLUSIVE | We’ve included options that carry a large range of sizes so you can find the right fit for you.
  • SUSTAINABLE | All of the brands on this list use sustainable sourcing and manufacturing, including fair labor practices, to ensure your purchase is low-impact. Many of these brands have give-back programs, too.
  • ORGANIC & NONTOXIC | The brands on this list prioritize using certified organic, natural, and recycled materials that are never treated with harsh chemicals so they’re safe for you and the earth.
  • ECO-FRIENDLY | The brands on this list avoid synthetic materials — that can take forever to break down, emitting microplastics along to way — and over-production to reduce harm to the earth. We’ve noted brands that are carbon-neutral or have other eco-initiatives.

Quince is one of our all-time favorites for finding high-quality, luxury garments at affordable price points — so when it came time to size up for my daughter’s winter jammies, I knew just where to look. The Holiday Flannel Nightgowns were too cute to resist, made from 100% recycled polyester flannel with long sleeves and a sweet ruffled hem, I knew my daughter was going to love them on sight. As far as seasonal kids’ jammies go, these are about as ideal as they come: With a relaxed, generous cut, I know she will be able to comfortably wear them for at least two winters, plus the longer hemline and the button placard make them easily double as dresses and not just nightgowns. The sweet treats print is more holiday-themed, but the tartan is a classic, timeless look that would be at home in any family photo. For myself, I opted for a Quince classic: 100% Washable Silk Pajama Shorts and Tank in crimson. The set is downright luxury, lightweight and ultra-soft — a must for this perimenopausal woman and the occasional night sweats! The brand makes silk pajamas in various sleeve and pant lengths, so you can mix and match colorways to your heart’s content.

And we’re big fans of Pact’s easygoing styles for everyone who loves sleeping in undies and basics (we see you!). I’ve had my eye on the Staycation Sleep Pant and Staycation Short Robe for a while because the one perk of WFH is making little cozy moments during stressful deadlines or meetings. (It’s not quite a staycation, but a girl can romanticize, right??) The brand did me one better and sent me the set along with the Cool Stretch Cropped Lounge Tank and Short set, and the Cool Stretch Lounge Jumpsuit which is basically everything my puttering-about-the-house dreams are made of. The one thing all of these pieces had in common is that they feel like your favorite, well-worn tee while looking structured and stylish. 10 out of 10 for this carbon-neutral brand for getting it exactly right.

MATE the Label’s sleepwear pairs snuggles and sustainability, working solely with eco-friendly fabrics in downtown Los Angeles. Their sleepwear is made from 70% TENCEL™ Lyocell and 30% organic cotton, and it feels as effortlessly cool as their models make it look. I tried the Tencel Sleep Tank, Shorts, and Pant in Truffle, and I’ve already had to wash everything three or four times because I keep reaching for them again and again. The fit is kind of slinky and loose without making strange shapes or feeling bulky. Plus, sleeping in them is perfect for anyone who runs hot. I have gone from bed straight to the yoga mat to a dog walk multiple times, swapping out the bottoms for cut-offs if I needed to run to the store. The climate-neutral brand has also achieved a certified B Corp status (you can read more about their sustainability initiatives in their yearly impact report). While this brand is a bit pricier than I’d usually like, I can see that the cost-per-wear already pays for itself.

Boody’s garments, including its sleepwear collection, are crafted from viscose derived from organically grown, nontoxic bamboo. This means I was expecting super-soft, highly breathable, and hypoallergenic fabrics that feel so good on the skin — and the brand delivered. I tested out the Goodnight Raglan Sleep Shirt and Shorts, and these were hands down the most cooling fabrics of the bunch. The material reminds me of a performance fabric, only without the PFAS! The top is definitely a heavy hitter imho, and can easily go from sleep to day wear to the gym. I got the set in a beautiful pale gray-blue called Dove, but I love all of Boody’s colorways, which are a mix of neutrals and muted pinks and greens. Lightweight, with a loose, elegant drape to the fit, these are big winners that I’ll reach for again and again.

Make way for This is J and its wide selection of stylish patterned loungewear and sleepwear for the whole family. They have so many styles and prints it was actually kind of hard to choose! I ended up with the Oversized Tee and Harem Pant in stripes, which is definitely on the mellower side of their options (but more in line with my closet!). If you don’t know about bamboo fabrics, here’s the deal: Bamboo is soft. Soft, drapey, and cooling. It reminds me of performance fabrics — only without the PFAS ruining the party. Whether you’re on the hunt for sustainably made PJs, robes, or even maternity wear, there’s something at this brand for everyone. Each garment is handmade thoughtfully in Canada using high-quality bamboo viscose which is moisture-wicking and soft to the touch. Everything is machine washable and dryer friendly, so these beautiful patterns will remain bold and won’t pill as you live in them!

Under The Canopy’s sleepwear collection is luxe, buttery soft, and’ll have you snoozing in serene comfort all night long. When I put on the Organic Tapered Jogger, Organic Swing Tank, and Organic Short Robe I truly couldn’t believe the quality of these pieces at their price point. Everything is cozy and warm, with a structure that looks and feels well-made. The relaxed fit with no tags is especially clutch for anyone sensitive to that sort of thing. These pieces are all available in complementary colorways so you can easily go monochrome or mix and match for a look that feels like wearing sweats but looks like a fancy lady about to have tea on her vacation veranda. Under a…canopy, perhaps?

I bought my mom a robe and nightgown set from Coyuchi years ago and I’ve been itching for my own ever since. Their sleepwear is just exactly what I’m always longing for as a comfort-seeking minimalist. I tried the Isla Organic Cotton Nightgown and Isla Organic Cotton Robe in surf chambray, and they are just as gorgeous in person as they are online. There is something timelessly romantic about this set — it feels ideal for a summer weekend morning spent making pancakes and then eating them in the garden. The brand’s breathable organic cotton pajamas are GOTS and MADE SAFE certified, and sewn in a factory that recycles 98 percent of its wastewater for the ultimate sustainable snooze. Plus, Coyuchi makes organic cotton bedding so you can upgrade your whole sleep routine however you please. The TGT team also loves their cozy robes made in a variety of weights so you can enjoy being wrapped up in soft, organic comfort no matter the season or region!

Discounts Available | Enjoy up to 30% off luxurious sleepwear, plus a free gift on purchases over $200 for a limited time

Designed in Los Angeles from a desire to create organic sleepwear that won’t harm you (no chemical washes, microplastics, or pesticides here!) — and could actually offer health benefits, Clementine Sleepwear is a true standout when it comes to holistic luxury. The 100% organic mulberry silk and nontoxic dyes never go through stripping chemical washes, leaving them rich in natural amino proteins that help heal skin and restore hair. Anyone prone to breakouts, rashes, or unruly bedhead will particularly love these smooth, soft products. I tried the Organic Silk T-Shirt Dress in pearl white (which has a chic, oversized fit and felt like a dream), and the Organic Silver Ion Silk Sleep Mask which is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal, and aids in accelerated healing and tissue regeneration — ideal for anti-aging benefits and treating scar tissue. Both come in their own storage box made of FSC certified and recyclable materials. The boxes not only protect the silk, but opening them to get out the sleep mask each night made me feel especially fancy.

Discounts Available | For a limited time, you can get up to 60% off sitewide on comfy essentials

Certified B Corp Organic Basics is all about sustainability plus longevity — and since I’m often wearing my jim jams through the night and into the next day, this is essential for me! Founded in Denmark in 2015, these sustainable sleepwear pieces are not only a classic style that will withstand any trend cycle, but are also low on waste and impact. The fabric is a blend of organic cotton and TENCEL™ Modal, a conscious mix of natural fiber with a recycled one that creates the smoothest, silkiest feeling against your skin. I’m wearing the Core Sleep Shirt and Pants in pink stripe, which is super cute in person while also reading like “I got dressed for this!” on Zoom meetings. Basically perfect.

There’s something undeniably soothing about slipping into linen at the end of a long day — and MagicLinen has absolutely mastered the art. I recently fell in love with their linen pajama set, a 100% European flax linen dream that feels just as good as it looks. Handcrafted and stone-washed for that soft, lived-in feel, this set is airy, breathable, and gentle on my skin. I appreciate that it’s OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning I can rest easy knowing it’s free from harmful chemicals. What makes MagicLinen stand out isn’t just their commitment to sustainability — it’s their singular focus on linen. They don’t dilute their mission with a million fabrics; they’re here to make linen better than anyone else. Every piece is handmade, with visible care in the construction, and I love knowing I’m supporting a brand that values slow, intentional craftsmanship.


What are the relevant certifications for organic PJs?

When shopping for organic pajamas, certifications are your best friend. They help ensure that the materials used are grown and processed without harmful chemicals, that ethical labor practices are followed, and that the finished garment is safe for you and the planet. Since terms like “natural” or “eco-friendly” aren’t regulated, looking for official certifications is the most reliable way to verify a product’s sustainability claims.

Here are some of the most relevant certifications to look for when buying organic PJs:

  • Fair Trade Certified: While not specific to organic content, this certification guarantees that workers involved in the garment’s production are paid fairly and work under safe conditions. It’s a great complement to organic certifications.
  • Certified Organic by USDA or similar national bodies: This ensures the raw cotton or fiber used in the pajamas was grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.
  • GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): The gold standard for organic textiles. GOTS ensures that the entire production process—from growing the cotton to dyeing and sewing the garment—meets strict environmental and social criteria. It also prohibits the use of toxic dyes, heavy metals, and GMOs.
  • OEKO-TEX® Standard 100: This certification tests for harmful substances in textiles. Even if a product isn’t made from organic fibers, OEKO-TEX certification means it’s been independently verified to be free of chemicals known to be harmful to human health.
  • MADE SAFE®: A newer but growing certification that screens products for toxic chemicals and pollutants that could impact human health and the environment. A “Made Safe” label on your pajamas means peace of mind.

The post 99 Things To Write In A Card For Every Occasion appeared first on The Good Trade.

]]>
One of my favorite simple pleasures in life is going to the mailbox and finding a handwritten envelope addressed to me. It feels like a treasure hidden amongst the junk mail, bills, and advertisements. I slide my pointer finger inside the corner of the envelope, pull to tear the top open, and retrieve the contents inside. There’s nothing quite like a thoughtfully handwritten note sent with love.

“There’s nothing quite like a thoughtfully handwritten note sent with love.”

I have always been a purveyor of greeting cards. Any time we stumble upon a paper shop or a boutique with curated goods, you can find me surveying the greeting card section and collecting a stack to take to the register. I love to envision the recipient of each one — this one for a dear friend’s birthday, that one for an upcoming wedding, this one to keep on file next time a friend announces they’re expecting. One of my favorite greeting cards I’ve ever received was from a friend in honor of our son’s birth. It had a cartoon illustration of a baby’s bottom that said, “Thank goodness for little butts.” Thank goodness, indeed. (If you’re in the mood for more quips and aphorisms, check out our list of 99 positive daily affirmations or our favorite 99 unique compliments!)

Whether you’re sending a card to commemorate a special occasion, expressing your condolences, or sending a note just because, here are 99 things to write in a greeting card for every occasion.

77. I can’t think of a better way to spend my days than to spend them loving you.

78. Cherishing you is the gift of a lifetime. Happy Valentine’s Day, my love. 

79. Call me a hopeless romantic, but consider inserting a few lines of poetry. Here is one of my personal favorites: “I want/ to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.” -Pablo Neruda, “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair.”

80. You could also write a few lines of your own poetry, whether original or a play on one of the tried-and-true templates. Here’s an example: Roses are red, violets are blue. I don’t want anyone but you.

Mother’s Day

81. Thank you for all of the ways you’ve nurtured and cared for me all my life.

82. Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who has shaped me, cared for me, and inspired me. 

83. Thank you for your continual presence, support, and love. I’m grateful this life made you my mama.

84. On this Mother’s Day and always, I celebrate you with all my heart and all my love.

85. Your love is one of my life’s greatest treasures, Mom.

“Thank you for your continual presence, support, and love. I’m grateful this life made you my mama.”

86. Regardless of space and time, I always feel your love. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

87. Mom, I hold your every act of love in my heart.

88. Whenever I don’t know what to do, I’m so glad I know I can call you. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

89. I’m grateful that your love and wisdom have guided me all my life. 

90. So glad I got it from my mama, and that my mama is you! Happy Mother’s Day.

Father’s Day

91. A father is one who leads, nurtures, and protects. I’m grateful you’ve done all of those things for me, and more. Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

92. I’m grateful to have a dad who has also become my friend.

93. The ways you’ve nurtured and sacrificed for me over the years has not gone unnoticed. Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

94. I’m grateful for your love.

“I’m grateful for your love.”

95. You’re one of a kind, Dad. Wishing you a Happy Father’s Day!

96. Where would I be without you in my life? I’m glad I’ll never know.

97. Dad, thank you for your continual presence, strength, and guidance. Happy Father’s Day.

98. Your love is the foundation on which I’ve built my life, and I’m forever grateful.

Hundreds Of Readers Share The Sustainable Brands They Love Most https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/sustainable-shopping-reader-survey/ https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/sustainable-shopping-reader-survey/#comments Mon, 24 Nov 2025 06:57:51 +0000 We asked hundreds of readers about their favorite sustainable brands, shopping habits, and what they’re gifting this holiday season.

The post Hundreds Of Readers Share The Sustainable Brands They Love Most appeared first on The Good Trade.

The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

A few weeks ago, we reached out to our community of subscribers to The Daily Good to see how we’re all feeling about shopping in 2025, and what we’re thinking about for the holiday season. (How is it late November already?) 

We believe that the most sustainable products are the ones you actually use, and we are always excited to hear how you all approach sustainability in your own lives. It’s inspiring for our work, and for our own lives — we have so much to learn from one another. 

So first, let’s dive into introductions!

We heard from over 300 readers on their favorite brands, shopping habits, and gained plenty of insight from all the write-in options. Most of our respondents reside in North America, and we had readers from age 18 to 75 and beyond — with an average reader age of around 40 years old. We love being able to reach folks at all ages, what a delight to have you in the community with us! 💛

And we see you too, readers who reside outside of North America! We’re constantly inspired by every comment, response, and share from our global audience and can’t wait to ring in 2025 with more tips on sustainability, slow living, and self-love.

Below are the key takeaways and recos from our readers — keep on scrolling to read about your (and our) favorite brands.


1) Half of your purchases are made from sustainable brands.

The majority of respondents (almost 75%) shared that at least half of their purchases come from sustainable brands — up from 61% last year. We love to see it, especially since, according to Business of Fashion, sustainability isn’t as top-of-mind for fashion execs as things like emerging AI technologies. (Dear brands – don’t slack on sustainability, please!)

Most readers only shop one or two times a month from these sustainable alternatives, so it sounds like the motto of “fewer, better” is really resonating. “I try to buy only what I need and know I will use,” says one reader. Yes!! While many of you prioritize sustainability in your purchases, you take your time to find exactly which products will fit into your lifestyle.

“I try to buy only what I need and know I will use.”

– The Daily Good Reader

When you shop online, almost half of readers like to visit the brand directly — tending to stay away from places like Amazon — and cutting out those additional costs. But we hear how convenient marketplaces and Amazon alternatives are, and wish there were more in-store options as well. We heard from many readers on how important it is to shop locally or secondhand in order to reduce shipping costs and packaging waste.

One reader shared their hesitation with all the waste that online shopping can bring: “It would be nice to have an article done on local grocery store or drugstore options when it comes to sustainable brands that I don’t have to order online and can buy physically in store to reduce my online shopping.”

Remember, it’s a marathon and not a sprint and we’re all doing the best we can. Keep going, friends.


2) You would prefer to shop vintage, whenever possible.

One of our favorite findings was how much you all love to thrift and hunt for vintage and secondhand treasures. Many answers you submitted as write-ins included a mention of thrifting, and you’re certainly in good company. 

“I thrift or buy most things vintage at antique shops,” writes one resourceful reader. “Everything else, I try to make myself.” Such a cool outlook — we’re bringing that energy into 2026 for sure. Thrifting can still be prohibitive for folks who are plus size, in more remote/rural areas, and even folks in larger cities, where thrifting can be more expensive.

We love to hear you treat yourself occasionally! When and if you can, allow yourself grace to give yourself love. (Psst — thrifting in and of itself can be a fun solo date!)

“I shop sustainably by going to local markets and purchasing in-season, local produce, buying locally made spirits, buying gifts from markets, and avoiding buying new whenever I can!”

– The Daily Good Reader

3) When it comes to organic and sustainable materials, the kitchen matters most.

We asked you about where you prioritize nontoxic, organic, and sustainable goods the most — and weren’t surprised that the kitchen took the top spot. From supplements to cookware to cleaning supplies, here are your favorites:

  • Lodge takes the cake when it comes to your favorite cookware and bakeware, and materials like stainless steel and cast iron were frequently mentioned as your faves
  • Your top recommended supplements come from Garden of Life, MaryRuth Organics, and Thorne — think brands that offer a wide range of selections at more affordable price points
  • When you’re not shopping at the local farmer’s market, Thrive Market is your favorite source for getting organic snacks and grocery essentials
  • You prefer the range of nontoxic cleaning options at Grove Collaborative, and of course, homemade cleaners like baking soda and vinegar

Almost equally important was the bathroom; hair care and skincare are such intimate parts of our routines that it’s no wonder we’re wanting to reduce exposure to toxic chemicals there too. Shoutout to shampoo bars and plastic-free care items showing up on the survey several times — less plastic in 2026, pls!

While nontoxic wardrobes and bedrooms weren’t as high on the list, we noted that of the sustainable products you’re saving up for, bedding and furniture were most frequently mentioned. Bedding, mattresses, and furniture all make sense to save up for, as they’re big-ticket items that you’ll likely keep for years to come. (Psst — with Black Friday coming up, you’ll want to keep an eye on mattress and bedding brands for sales.)

Surprisingly, this year you also mentioned you’re saving up for quality cookware more than in past years. Can we come over for dinner? We’ll bring the wine and NA apertifs!


4) Not surprising: Patagonia is your favorite sustainable brand.

It’s no surprise that Patagonia was the most-loved brand in this whole survey and the most beloved fashion brand — for the fourth year in a row! As one of the earliest defenders of environmental ethics in the industry, Patagonia continues to expand its commitment to labor ethics as well. (Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, gave away the company to fight the climate crisis as of 2022.) Patagonia also has a secondhand shop, Worn Wear!

Pact and Etsy were named #2 and #3 as our readers’ top responsible fashion brands, especially thanks to their availability and price accessibility (and of course, all the secondhand options available via Etsy!) Dozens of write-in answers also mentioned thrift stores, both online and local, were your favorite places to shop. Quince is another fan favorite thanks to its range and affordability; you can see our editor’s review of that brand here.

Other runners-up were Sézane and Reformation — looks like combining ultra-practical garments with super stylish pieces is hitting the sweet spot these days. We also discovered plenty of smaller brands from the write-in options; excited to dive more into those in 2026!


5) When it comes to home goods, you shop for accessible quality.

West Elm was named our readers’ favorite place to shop for a wide variety of home goods, at reasonable prices, while supporting increasing levels of sustainable and ethical sourcing. One note on West Elm — remember to use advanced filters to find pieces that have the most sustainable certifications when you’re shopping. We were also excited to see that Avocado took the number two spot on your list; our team toured the Avocado factory in Southern California last year, and got to see the production of the brand’s zero-waste furniture collection. (And some previews of what’s to come, too — get excited!)

Coming in at number three on your list of favorites was Etsy, a top-listed brand for the fourth year in a row. If you want a good place to get started, check out this roundup of our 99 favorite Etsy shops! The marketplace supports a move to more affordable and accessible retailers for sustainable wares.


6) The best in clean beauty goes to ILIA. 🏆

But you still impressed us with how personal beauty is for each of you. This was the category with the most write-ins, from well-known drugstore brands down to small handmade skincare goodies (and some DIY in your own home!). In fact, there were more write-ins than any votes for individual brands we shared for consideration!

Outside of the write-ins, ILIA topped the charts again this year. We especially love its dewy Super Serum Skin Tint, which comes in 30 shades and offers SPF 40 coverage — you can read our editor’s review of that and some other ILIA products here. OSEA was the second favorite, and cocokind followed closely behind — showing us that you all prioritize clean ingredients whether you have a big budget or a small skincare stipend. (Read our reviews of OSEA and cocokind for more info.)


7) When splurging on sheets, our readers think these linens are worth every penny.

Your most recommended bedding brand was none other than Avocado. This is a reader fave thanks to the quality of its bedding, and the dedication the whole brand has to making sure everyone sleeps sound and snuggly. 

Avocado’s bedding is made in India and features long-staple GOTS Organic-certified cotton, alongside both MADE SAFE and OEKO-TEX certifications. We especially love that the queen sheet sets start at $135, which is great for folks who want a long-lasting product that fits a little better into the budget. Avocado is also truly a one-stop shop for everything you need for a cozy bedroom, including mattresses, toppers, and protectors. (All of the mattresses are handmade in Avocado’s California factory!) 

Notable mentions included organic sets from Pact and Boll and Branch, once again showing that balancing nontoxic materials and quality is the name of the game. You can read our full review of the top nontoxic bedding brands here — we’ve tested them all!


8) You’re leaders, not followers (of course you are!). But here are some great sustainability influencers to follow anyway.

When we asked for your favorite ethical fashion influencers, the majority of you told us you didn’t have a go-to account that you like to follow. But if you are in the social media space, the rest of our readers suggested so many great creators — here are the three that came up most frequently. (Be sure to hit follow!)


9) When it comes to the holidays, you want to give homemade goodies.

You love to shower your loved ones with unique and personalized homemade items — not surprising. But so many of you noted that you want only to gift experiences, time spent together, or consumables that leave a smaller footprint once they’re gone. A couple folks even listed skincare and wellness tech in your write-ins, which usually don’t cross our minds as frequently due to how personal they can be.

Most of you prefer to give homemade presents, experience gifts, and things like coffee, tea, or chocolate. We love how universally loved many of these items are!


10) You want to receive experience gifts…and also cozy consumables.

While handmade gifts did not make the top placement for items you want to *receive* (they were a close second), ephemeral experience gifts like subscriptions, event tickets, or other cultural activities ranked the highest this year.

Coffee, tea, and chocolate came in at the number three most popular types of gifts you want to receive — losing ground to handmade gifts for the first time in the four years we’ve run this survey. Fashion, including jewelry and snuggly things like slippers and robes, rank higher than larger-ticket home goods and travel accessories. Sounds like we’re all keeping it simple at home this year!

(If you’re still stuck, we do have a list of gifts for her and gifts for him, and your picks for the best jewelry shops were on Etsy and Mejuri.)

Overall, you may want to avoid gifting *or* requesting makeup and skincare products unless you know both parties understand each other’s routine well — most people already purchase the beauty products they love most for themselves.


Thank you, all, for sharing your insights with us and inspiring us as we head into 2026. We consistently share your feedback, notes of encouragement, and recommendations with each other in The Good Trade Slack channel. We learned even more than what we shared here, and we can’t wait to deliver you all the very best in sustainable products and responsibly sourced products in the new year. 

Wishing you all a warm, safe, and loving conclusion to 2025, and offer a reminder to share kindness, grace, and empathy whenever you can. We all need it right now.

7 Best Eco-Friendly Wrapping Papers And Gift Bags https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/gift-wrapping-paper/ https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/gift-wrapping-paper/#respond Sat, 22 Nov 2025 21:10:06 +0000 https://www.thegoodtrade.com/gift-wrapping-paper/ Eco-friendly wrapping paper or reusable wrap cloths help us give freely — without the gift of waste. Here are 7 of our favorite eco-friendly and sustainable options.

The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

We’ve researched and tested dozens of eco-friendly wrapping options — from recycled paper rolls to reusable gift bags — to help make your holiday gifting a little kinder to the planet. These are our favorites.

Looking to gift more sustainably this season? Swapping conventional wrapping paper for recycled, compostable, or reusable alternatives is an easy first step. Traditional wrapping paper often contains plastic coatings and glitter, making it non-recyclable. Eco-friendly options cut down on waste, support small makers, and still bring all the festive charm.

What are the benefits of eco-friendly wrapping paper and reusable gift wrap?

Holiday gifting creates millions of tons of paper waste each year, much of which can’t be recycled. Eco-friendly wraps offer a meaningful alternative. Recycled and FSC-certified papers reduce the demand for virgin materials, while reusable cloths — like Japanese furoshiki — can be tied, styled, and passed from one gift to the next for years.

These choices help minimize landfill waste, lower your carbon footprint, and often come from small, sustainable brands prioritizing ethical materials and responsible production. Plus, reusable wraps can double as part of the gift itself — think a pretty scarf, tea towel, or fabric square that lives on long after the holidays.

Our criteria:

Our editors have personally tested dozens of eco-friendly wrapping options over the years, from recycled craft sheets to hand-printed reusable wraps. These are our favorite brands for gifting thoughtfully and beautifully. We update this guide regularly based on the following criteria:

  • RECYCLED OR REUSABLE MATERIALS | Every option on this list is made from recycled fiber, compostable paper, or durable fabric designed to be used again and again.
  • LOW-WASTE PACKAGING | We prioritized brands using minimal or plastic-free packaging and sustainable printing processes.
  • ETHICAL PRODUCTION | Many of these wraps are produced by small makers or family-run studios using responsibly sourced materials.
  • AFFORDABILITY | Sustainable wrap shouldn’t feel out of reach. We’ve included a mix of budget-friendly rolls, multipacks, and long-lasting reusable cloths you can keep for years.

Need gift ideas? Be sure to check out our sustainable gift guide for 2025, and head here for our top gifts under $50. And if you’re looking for less, here’s our minimalist gift guide, as well as our sleep gift guide and wellness gift guide for the health-oriented figure in your life. Happy gifting!  🎁✨

9 Sustainable Pearl Necklaces From Ethical Jewelry Brands https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/sustainable-pearl-necklaces/ https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/sustainable-pearl-necklaces/#respond Tue, 18 Nov 2025 21:51:15 +0000 Celebrate yourself with one of your very own sustainable pearl necklaces!

The post 9 Sustainable Pearl Necklaces From Ethical Jewelry Brands appeared first on The Good Trade.

]]>
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

We’ve researched and worn dozens of sustainable jewelry brands throughout the years — these are our personal favorites for sustainable pearl necklaces, sourced ethically with eco-friendly practices, at a variety of price points.

There are a few jewelry pieces that really stand the test of time, and if you’re looking for something that can walk the line of power and proper, pearls are it. We’re always on the lookout for ethical pearl jewelry brands that prioritize sustainability and thoughtful craftsmanship. From local artisans to woman-owned small businesses, we love discovering makers who focus on responsibly sourced pearls, fair wages, and meaningful give-back initiatives.

What makes a pearl necklace ethical?

An ethical pearl necklace goes beyond beauty — it’s about honoring both the planet and the people behind the piece. Truly ethical pearls are either sustainably farmed or vintage, ensuring that their harvesting doesn’t harm marine ecosystems or exploit workers. Responsible pearl farming focuses on maintaining clean, healthy waters and often supports local communities by providing fair wages and safe working conditions. Some ethical brands even go the extra mile by using recycled metals for clasps or packaging their jewelry plastic-free. So when you choose an ethical pearl necklace, you’re not just adding elegance to your wardrobe — you’re wearing a story of care, consciousness, and craftsmanship.

How do I care for pearl jewelry?

Caring for pearl jewelry is all about treating these natural gems with the gentle love they deserve. Pearls are delicate and porous, which means they’re sensitive to chemicals, perfumes, and even too much moisture — so it’s best to put them on last when getting ready and take them off first at the end of the day. After wearing, give your pearls a soft wipe with a clean cloth to remove any oils or residue. Store them flat in a soft pouch (not hanging) and away from other jewelry to prevent scratches. With just a little TLC, your pearls will stay luminous and lovely for generations to come!

Our criteria:

Our team has fallen in love with dozens of ethical and sustainable jewelry brands over the years. For this review of ethical pearl necklaces, we pooled together our experience, researched the best brands on the market, and scoured thousands of customer reviews. We update this list regularly with emerging favorites that meet our criteria below.

  • ETHICALLY SOURCED PEARLS | Each of these necklaces is made with responsibly sourced and ethical pearls. The brands we’ve selected note their traceability, provenance, and origins where available.
  • QUALITY/DURABLE | We’ve tested and can confirm that each of these pearl necklaces is made with high-quality pearls, can be worn daily, and will stand the test of time.
  • AFFORDABLE | We’ve included brands on the list that are fairly priced at an accessible price point that reflects the true quality of the pearl necklaces.

For the most sustainable pearl jewelry options, look for vintage or heirloom pearls since they’re already sourced and created; here’s a guide on how to look for vintage jewelry, pearls and all. For even more jewelry options, our ethical jewelry guide has you covered!

We’ve researched and worn dozens of sustainable jewelry brands over the years — these are our personal favorites for ethical, quality pieces made with eco-friendly practices, at a variety of price points.

We’re always searching for ethical jewelry brands and small businesses for sustainable jewelry. We love finding local and woman-owned jewelry companies that dedicate themselves to thoughtful sourcing, fair wages, and give-back initiatives that truly have an impact. Whether it’s a meaningful addition to our own wardrobe or a sustainable gift for our loved ones, ethical jewelry is an accessory that we can (and do) cherish for a lifetime.

Why consider sustainable jewelry?

A hand with manicured nails, a gold ring, and a bracelet rests on an open book. The person is wearing a smartwatch with a light pink band.

Sustainable jewelry supports ethical sourcing, minimizes environmental impact, and promotes a more responsible jewelry industry by avoiding conflict minerals and supporting fair labor practices. Rather than resorting to mined minerals, sustainable jewelry brands use recycled precious metals, like gold and silver, which reduces the demand for new mining and lessens environmental disruption. Lab-grown diamonds and gemstones are also used, which also offer an ethical, lower-impact alternative to mined stones (they’re nearly identical to natural stones but come with a smaller carbon footprint and without the social and environmental issues of traditional mining).

Sustainable brands also focus on reducing waste and pollution by adopting eco-friendly production methods and packaging. With every purchase of sustainably-made jewelry, you’re contributing to an overall shift toward a more transparent and eco-conscious jewelry market.

What makes jewelry ethical?

Choosing sustainable jewelry is an important decision as conventional jewelry production is often linked to unethical work practices and environmental concerns. The traditional mining of metals and gemstones has funded armed conflicts and unsafe, exploitative labor conditions. There are also a number of environmental impacts that mining contributes to, including water pollution and soil degradation.

With every purchase of sustainably-made jewelry, you’re contributing to an overall shift toward a more transparent and eco-conscious jewelry market.

On the flip side, ethical and sustainable jewelry brands take a more mindful and transparent approach. They prioritize conflict-free materials, ensuring that gemstones and diamonds are sourced in ways that do not fund violence or human rights abuses. Many brands also adopt fair labor practices, supporting safe working conditions, fair wages, and respect for workers’ rights throughout the supply chain. Certifications such as Fair Trade help verify these commitments, while initiatives like the Kimberley Process aim to prevent conflict diamonds from entering the global market.

Ethical jewelry also often incorporates recycled metals, lab-grown diamonds, or responsibly sourced gems to minimize environmental harm and reduce the demand for destructive mining. You’ll notice that many sustainable brands value artisan craftsmanship and small-scale production, working directly with local communities to preserve traditional techniques while ensuring fair compensation.

By choosing ethical jewelry, your conscious decision supports conflict-free sourcing, dignified labor, and environmentally responsible practices — helping to create a more just and sustainable jewelry industry.

Sustainable materials to look for:

  • Recycled metals: Gold, silver, and platinum that are reclaimed and repurposed help reduce the need for destructive new mining.
  • Fairmined or Fairtrade gold: Certified gold sourced from responsible small-scale mines that meet strict social, environmental, and labor standards.
  • Conflict-free diamonds: Diamonds verified through the Kimberley Process or sourced from suppliers with transparent, traceable supply chains.
  • Lab-grown diamonds & gemstones: Chemically and visually identical to mined stones, but created with a smaller environmental footprint.
  • Recycled or reclaimed gemstones: Vintage or repurposed gems give new life to existing resources.
  • Ethically sourced natural gemstones: Mined under fair labor conditions with minimal environmental impact, often from small-scale or artisan miners.
  • Alternative sustainable materials: Pearls, wood, shells, ceramics, or other responsibly sourced natural materials offer a unique, eco-friendly touch.

Our criteria:

Our team has fallen in love with dozens of ethical and sustainable jewelry brands over the years. For this review, we pooled together our experience, researched the best brands on the market, and scoured thousands of customer reviews for this round-up of our favorites.

  • QUALITY/DURABLE | We’ve tested and can confirm that each of these jewelry items are made with high quality materials, can be worn on the daily, and will stand the test of time.
  • ETHICAL | We’re carefully selected jewelry brands that follow ethical practices, including fair labor, fair trade, and the Kimberley Process.
  • AFFORDABLE | We’ve included brands on the list that are fairly priced at an accessible price point that reflects the true quality of the pieces.

The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

We’ve researched and tested dozens of wine clubs — these are our picks for the best natural, sustainable, or organically farmed wines across a range of price points. 

To elevate our at-home dining experiences, we’re turning to wine for the perfect touch. Reds are for our cozy evenings indoors, and sparkling whites make for the most bubbly happy hour at the park. But with thousands of wines around the world, it’s hard to know which one to choose — we can’t be the only ones overwhelmed in fancy bottle shops, right? That’s why we turn to wine subscriptions for easy and stress-free selections from a wide variety of quality wines.

Why choose organic wine?

Organic wine is a great choice if you’re looking to be more conscious of the ingredients you’re choosing to consume. They reduce the risk of consuming pesticides and synthetics from conventional grapes, and they’re GMO-free. Consuming organic wine is also better for the environment as organic vineyards prioritize soil health, water conservation processes, and renewable energy use, lowering their overall carbon footprint. Some even say that the true and authentic terroir of organic wine shines through more than in conventional wines where added synthetics can impact the flavor. The more you know!

Our methodology:

For this guide, we’ve researched and tested wines from some of the best natural winemakers and sommeliers responsibly sourcing from around the globe, from California to Italy, — you’re welcome! In our opinion, these wine clubs and subscription services curate the best natural, sustainable, or organically farmed wines (and then deliver them directly to your doorstep!) We’ll cheers to that. 🥂

Looking for booze-free options for your table? Here is our guide to the best non-alcoholic wines.

Choose three, six, or a dozen bottles to be delivered on a monthly or quarterly basis, and experience natural additive-free wines the way they were meant to be enjoyed!
