Meghan Markle's unusual holiday gift guide from dog leashes to conscious socks

Meghan Markle has revealed her top Christmas gift ideas and the list is quite unusual.

Writing on her now-defunct blog, The Tig, the Duchess of Sussex listed six potential presents you could exchange during the festive season, and while some are a no-brainer, others are a quirky choice. For example, Meghan listed Found My Animal Adjustable Rope Leashes for "socially-minded" pet owners.

She explained that buying from the pet good company would be "supporting local animal shelters" while kitting people out with "stylishly colorful ombré leash designs." Elsewhere on the list, Meghan recommended Conscious Step Crew Socks, an ethically made pair of socks that "make you feel like every step you’re taking is a stride in the right direction," adding that the design you choose is aimed at benefiting either a particular cause "like HIV treatment or hunger prevention."

The Duchess' mindful gifts expanded into fashion and beauty as she encouraged her readers to purchase jewellery from The Neshama Project, a boutique jewellery line that donates a percentage of all proceeds to a non-profit that seeks to expand solar power, clean water, and agricultural technology to rural villages on the continent. She claimed: "You’re getting a quality product in addition to supporting a worthy cause." You can expect to spend up to $743 (£588) on the site.

Meghan also listed a Los Angeles-made curated gift box ideal for the "California dreamer" and a set of candles that, "aside from smelling heavenly and being hand-poured right in Brooklyn, NY, these chic candles are also looking to light up the world" as their founder raised more than $100,000 (£80,000) for the development of solar power systems in Chad, Meghan explained.

Meghan ran her blog for a few years before she met her husband Prince Harry. The Tig was her self-described "passion project" and she posted recipes, travel tips, and personal photos of her adventures over the years.

Meghan could be bringing The Tig back

She shut down the blog in 2017 as she started to adjust to the royal life as Harry's fiancée at the time. It was revealed earlier this year that she might be bringing it back sometime soon as her latest venture.

Meghan's team has reportedly filed for new trademarks for The Tig through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The new Tig uses the same logo Meghan used before but seems to cover more than just travel and cooking tips, according to TMZ.
