Candles (Cleaner Burn)

Traditional paraffin candles release petroleum-based soot and synthetic fragrances that can off-gas indoors. Opt for 100% beeswax or soy candles with cotton wicks and phthalate-free scents—or go flameless for mantels near greenery.

Bluecorn Beeswax 3"×6" Pillar Candle

This handmade pillar burns clean for 70+ hours, releasing zero soot and a subtle honey scent. Beeswax naturally purifies the air by emitting negative ions, making it ideal for indoor holiday gatherings. Hand-poured in small batches in Colorado. Bluecorn Beeswax (Colorado), 100% Pure Beeswax.

P.F. Candle Co. "Amber & Moss" Soy Candle

Earthy sage, warm amber, and hints of lavender create a sophisticated, gender-neutral holiday scent. Hand-poured with 100% soy wax and phthalate-free fragrance oils, this candle burns clean for 60-70 hours in a sleek apothecary-style jar. P.F. Candle Co. (California), Phthalate-Free, Cruelty-Free.

Garlands & Greenery

Fresh or dried botanicals bring authentic holiday fragrance without synthetic chemicals. If you prefer artificial, choose PE (polyethylene) over PVC for lower odor and better durability.

Premium Holiday Fresh Cedar Garland

Real cedar garland delivers the authentic holiday scent you remember—no synthetic fragrances or PVC off-gassing. This 9-foot garland drapes beautifully over mantels, stair railings, or doorways. After the holidays, compost it or use it for mulch. Natural, Biodegradable.

Hananona Artificial Norfolk Pine Garlands

If you want garland you can reuse year after year, choose PE over PVC for reduced off-gassing. These realistic Norfolk pine garlands feature soft, bendable branches that won't yellow or shed excessively. PE Material, Reusable.

Ornaments

Glass, wood, and metal ornaments skip the microplastic glitter and last for generations. For kids and pets, choose shatter-resistant options in wood or felt.

Clear Glass Ball Ornaments, 12-Pack

These clear glass ornaments reflect light beautifully and work with any color scheme. Fill them with dried flowers, mini pinecones, or leave them clear for a minimalist look. No plastic glitter to shed—just timeless, elegant simplicity. Glass, Customizable, Recyclable.

Ribbons & Gift Wrap

Ditch the single-use plastic ribbon and synthetic wrapping paper. Fabric ribbons, recycled kraft paper, and reusable cloth wraps (furoshiki) look beautiful and reduce holiday waste.

Cotton Fabric Ribbon

This natural cotton ribbon ties, bows, and drapes beautifully on packages and garlands. Unlike polyester curling ribbon that ends up in landfills, cotton can be untied, saved, and reused for years—or composted when it finally wears out. 100% Cotton, Biodegradable, Reusable.
