Let’s be honest: none of us need more things.

The more I explore, the more I believe the best experiences aren’t material things at all. But… if you are going to shop this Black Friday, I want to help you shop intentionally by supporting sustainable and mission-driven brands that do good for public lands and spark curiosity about the world around us.

This year, I’m adding something very special to my guide: An all paid vacation to the North Pole! (By Coordinate Plane, of course 👀🤭✈️)

Let’s dive in.

🍃 The Landmark Project

If you’re shopping sustainable apparel and affordable accessories, The Landmark Project is hands-down my strongest recommendation. This season I'm loving their 2026 wall calendars.

🌲 Wild Tribute

Another gift I'm loving this season is from Wild Tribute's new collection. Obviously with my upcoming project launch with Joshua Tree National Park Association in 2026, I'm pretty obsessed with their Joshua Tree Crewneck.

✈️ Jet Set Candy Jewelry

I adore Jet Set Candy for meaningful, travel-themed jewelry. Their airport-code charms and luggage tag pendants make the sweetest, most personal gifts for anyone dreaming of their next adventure. Use MISST at checkout!

🍓 Oku Energy 

These are my go-to snack for hiking, travel, or long teaching days.
Oku Energy is perfect for filling stockings (or backpacks).

😎 Hobie Eyewear

Durable, polarized, outdoor-tested my Hobie sunglasses that you’ve probably seen in half my photos is a practical gift that gets used all year long.

🎄 The BEST Gift of All: A Vacation to the North Pole (By Coordinate Plane!)

Looking for the most joyful, creative, educational, and absolutely zero clutter gift this year? Take your loved one to the North Pole! By Coordinate Plane! I'll remind you that the Coordinate Plane is the most cost effective way to travel AND releases zero c02 emissions 🤭 North Pole Math Map templates make great holiday cards!

✨ Mappy Holidays!
