The 2025 B Corp Gift Guide: Match Your Generosity With Purpose This Holiday Season
As the festive celebration and indulgence beckon, so does consumerism as we spend, spend, spend, on travel, food, and gifts to exchange. Unfortunately, holiday excess is not limited to the joys of the season; it also includes the gobsmacking volume of waste we create.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average household produces up to 25% more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, amounting to roughly 25 million tons of garbage—including 2.3 million pounds of wrapping paper and 5 billion pounds of returned and unwanted gifts that wind up in landfills.
While a growing number of Americans are striving to minimize waste by shopping thoughtfully for gifts that reflect good values—sustainability, fairness, and positive long-term impact—it can be tough to discern which products fit the bill.
This festive season, align your generosity with your values by shopping with companies with B Corporation status—an iron-clad certification held by CANOPY for meeting rigorous environmental and social-impact standards, where “B” stands for “Benefit for All.”
From fair-trade treats to coworking space memberships and carbon-neutral home goods, these certified B Corps make meaningful gifts that not only look and feel good, but do good.

Exponent Beauty Power Serums

Exponent Beauty’s first product line, its consumer line of power serums, is patented to seamlessly dose clinical-grade antioxidant powders—like Vitamin C, Retinol, and CoQ10—with Hyaluronic Acid. They’re clinically tested to visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration in one to two weeks, and are quick and easy to use: stamp, pump, mix in the palm of your hand, and apply. Another bonus: you can try before you buy.
