You’re a treehugger. In your daily life, you avoid plastic packaging, wear thrifted threads and support eco-conscious businesses whenever you can.
Yet every year as the holiday season approaches, you fill with low-level dread. It’s time to buy your friends and family gifts – but they aren’t treehuggers like you. They’re all normal and stuff.
