It’s not easy shopping consciously during the holiday season — especially during Cyber Week, but these sustainable and ethical Black Friday deals, discounts, and donations can be a way to get responsibly-made gifts for less, or while also giving back.
[Check out this guide if you’re looking for conscious gift ideas.]
Of course, a discount isn’t a real “deal” if we’re buying too much/buying things we don’t need, but when if we’re looking to intentionally purchase some ethical clothing or eco-friendly gifts, these sale days can actually be a great opportunity to support conscious brands more affordably.
So, we’ve curated some of the best sustainable and ethical Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales going on (as well as some fantastic giveback donation initiatives)! This list includes the following categories:
- Fashion (Clothing, accessories, shoes, jewelry, and more)
- Beauty and Personal Care
- Home & Lifestyle
- Donation Initiatives
Note: This guide includes affiliates and partners. As always, all brands on Conscious Life & Style meet strict criteria for sustainability and are brands I believe in! Cover image is from Made Trade.
