I initially wanted to make a gift guide focused on the traveler, but since none of us have major travel plans and time soon I decided to focus this guide on the weekend adventurer. Since the pandemic hit we all have been finding different ways to safely get out and explore. Whether that is taking a road trip to an airbnb, checking out some nature trails you never tried, or exploring what your region has to offer over a long weekend. I know I was able to explore areas here in Virginia that I probably wouldn’t have otherwise.
All of the brands I have included in this guide either use sustainable materials in their products, eco friendly processes for manufacturing/distribution, or has a strong ethical component to their brand. I’ve curated this list to include items from Everlane, Coyuchi, Jenni Kayne, Rothy’s, Girlfriend Collective, Summersalt, and ABLE. You can read all about their ethicical and sustainable practices in the links I’ve privided.
Bundle Up
For Covid friendly travel, a warm coat is a must this winter. I imagine we will be spending more time outdoors whether at restaurants or visiting with friends, so bundle up! These coats from Everlane are made from recycled and renewd textiles and look oh so cozy, and I think this is the year I finally invest in a cashmere beanie, this one from Jenni Kayne is so luxurious!
Dress Comfortably
When adventuring to new areas you definitely want to be dressed appripriately. Chic yet comfortable is always my motto when traveling. These pants from Summersalt and Girlfriend Collective (my personal favorite), and shoes from Rothy’s and Everlane are the perfect combo of both!.
Just a friendly reminder the items I have linked here are affiliate links that I use to help support the time I dedicate to researching and writing for you all. This is NOT a sponsored post and I was not gifted any of these items. I only share products here that I either use myself, or hope to purchase one day because I either LOVE what the brand stands for or find the product conducive to living well and sustainably. This is no extra expense to you, just a way for brands to say “thanks, Caroline!” when I send my readers their way. You can read more about it in my affiliate disclaimer.
