How to Capture the Spirit of the Holidays: Gift Love & Spread Joy ❤️🙌🏽

Happiest of holidays friend!

I'm Rachel, the Founder and Lead Herbalist at Vedic Botanicals.

My family has always been spread out, with thousands of miles and several states between us. Because of the distance, gift-giving became a primary love language.

My family is very German, so gifts were always practical, useful, thoughtful, and sincere.

Thanks to all these years of practice, I'm now lovingly called the "real-life Leslie Knope" of gifting.

As I approach the holiday season, I obsess with two questions:

"How can I gift love? How can I show appreciation to those make my life joyful?"

The mental labor in gifting is usually what people struggle with the most, and that's what I wanted to tackle.

I'm delighted to announce three things:

A Small Business Gift Guide

3 exceptional Holiday Bundle sets.

30% off site-wide this week for Black Friday.

Sacred Flame Candles and Fava Tea are two of my favorite businesses. Both are woman-owned. Both have high quality standards and are unbelievably detailed with their approach to crafting exceptional and intentional products.

It's the same energy I bring to Vedic Botanicals.

I could not be happier to work with these two business on our holiday bundles: HIS, HERS, and OURS.

Each bundle contains a mix of best-selling Vedic Botanicals product, delicious, high-quality Fava Tea, and a Sacred Flame candle that doubles as a work of art for your nose and eyes.

Each bundle arrives packaged and ready to be gifted- no need to wrap. Thanks to our Impact Guarantee, these bundles also remove 15 whole pounds of plastic from the waste cycle, converting them into energy. It's a gift for your loved one, and the planet.

We only have the bundles while supplies last, so don't wait- order yours today!

Did you know that wood wick candles sound like a fireplace crackling? Treat yourself to bundle and you'll get to experience it for yourself.

And then, the Small Business gift guide.

These are all businesses I know and love.

They have high standards for their products and do good things in the world.

They're women-owned.

There's UVIDA and Unpacked Living for sustainable, plastic-free households.

There's William James Gifts for delicious gluten-free options.

Elements Truffles and Prophecy Chocolates for distinct and delicious chocolates.

Kay's Curries for authentic Indian meal kits.

And more!

I hope it helps you with your holiday shopping.

Our daily choices have impact. Where and how we shop is important.
