Is there anything more condescending than looking up all those “Gift Guides for Her” on Pinterest to only find a bunch of household and kitchen items?  

Thank God for Pinterest am I right?

When it comes to searching for unique ideas...or really any idea of a good gift for your girlfriends, Pinterest is the absolute Go-To. The problem is that now you’re trying to be more eco-conscious with your purchases and all these Gift Guides show you are Silicone Dish Covers, and Horse Hair Sink Brushes and Cucumber Savers. 😬

Well, in this list you won’t find any kitchen items! Pinky Promise!

But you will find a whole lot of super cute products that I found on this new-to-me site EarthHero! As I was researching different gifts I came across this site that has loads of brands I love like United By Blue and Apple Park Kids all in one place! The heavens have shined on us my friends!
