Dear Santa,
This year, I’ve embraced the crunchy lifestyle like a pro. I’ve diffused essential oils, recycled like it’s my job, and even made my own bone broth. So, it’s only fair that I indulge in a few things I’ve had my eye on. I know shopping for someone who loves all things natural can be tough, so I’ve compiled a little wish list for this Christmas/Solstice season.
Chickens and a Chicken Coop
Santa, if you could bring me just one thing, let it be a flock of chickens along with a cozy coop. Sure, I know the local foxes will be lurking and that the cost of feed and care will rival those pricey organic eggs from Whole Foods. But these chickens will become my little companions, happily clucking away and laying eggs that my family will (hopefully) eat—despite the fact that my kids aren’t fans of eggs in any form. And yes, those eggs might come with a bit of chicken poop, but that’s just a sign of true love, right?
Canning Essentials
I want everything related to canning, Santa! I’m ready to pickle, candy, and transform fresh veggies into BPA-free, aluminum-free delights. Just wait until peach season hits! I’ll have so many jars of peaches that I’ll be sharing them with everyone. Sure, I know this stuff will probably just gather dust in my kitchen, but hey, it’ll add to my crunchy credibility!

Waldorf Toys Galore
I’ve got my eye on those beautiful Waldorf toys. You know the ones—fabric elves, wooden rainbows, and enchanting treehouses complete with organic dolls and tiny furniture. I even want that pricey Bamboletta doll adorned with rainbow hair and a sweet little sling. Of course, this is all for my child, right?
A Year’s Supply of Nag Champa
For those unfamiliar, Nag Champa is a delightful incense that every self-respecting crunchy mama should have on hand. It covers up all kinds of household smells—from diaper changes to the aftermath of cooking greens. It transforms our home into a fragrant sanctuary, reminiscent of a college dorm trying to mask the scent of something else… you know what I mean.
A Handwoven Wrap
I’ve moved beyond the basic baby wraps, Santa. Now I’m dreaming of a handwoven beauty crafted from unicorn fur and elf hair, featuring a breathtaking rainbow design. I want it in size 6, so I can perform all my favorite baby-carrying techniques without a hitch. You might not get the intricacies of it, but just trust me, it’s essential.
Breastmilk Jewelry
Imagine turning my breastmilk into a stunning piece of jewelry! I’d need to send my milk to a place that can crystallize it or something equally magical. Once transformed, I’d have a locket or ring that holds my precious memories forever. It’s like a personal relic—definitely a conversation starter!
Eco-Friendly Menstrual Products
Forget the conventional pads and tampons, Santa. I’m all about sustainable options now. Bring me a Diva Cup and some sea sponges—both eco-friendly and oh-so-natural. And don’t stop there! I want reusable cloth tampons that challenge the status quo, alongside handmade organic pads with layers of Zorb for those heavier days. I want to embrace my flow while being environmentally conscious.
The Must-Have Diaper
You know the one; it’s the limited edition diaper everyone is raving about right now. It’s a total game-changer for my collection and would look adorable on my little one. Let’s just hope it stays stain-free to keep its value intact!
Thanks for considering my quirky wishlist this year, Santa. I promise to leave you some gluten-free carob-walnut cookies on Christmas Eve.
With love,
A Crunchy Mama
