The Perfect Sustainable Christmas Gift for 2021

A single, delightful sentence delivered to your gift recipient’s inbox and yours each day for a year. Point being: If nothing else goes brilliantly today, at least we’ve got this.

When you place an order, you and your gift recipient will both receive the newsletter — so don’t order a separate one for yourself. If you’ll be giving the gift to multiple recipients, then you will need to order multiple subscriptions. See below for a discount code.

For orders placed before January 1, 2022, your welcome message will arrive that day, and subsequent messages will run until December 31, 2022.

For orders placed after January 1, 2022, your welcome message will arrive on the day you place the order, and subsequent messages will run for the following 365 days. 

Great question. Let’s start with what they won’t be about. They aren’t topical or news-related, or even seasonal.

They’ll be whimsical, with a mix of tones and subjects, trending toward delight and humor. Some will be charming facts. Some will be very, very short, funny stories that draw from life experiences. Occasionally they’ll link to a really great recipe or song or something else beautiful.

The more I researched what the 2021 holiday season would look like, the more I learned about how polarized it’s become to have the means to give. Total holiday spending is likely to trend upward this year in the United States, but many, many people are not able to afford gifts at all.

I know I can’t solve this epidemic on my own, but I did think of one small way that together, we can help.

I’ve included an option during payment to make a donation to World Central Kitchen, the charitable organization of Chef José Andrés. It’s totally optional, but I think some gift recipients will really appreciate it.
