Jessica Alba is coming to your shopping rescue!

With less than 10 days until Santa arrives, the pressure is on for consumers to finish their list and make sure all of their friends and family will be satisfied come Christmas morning.

Luckily, Alba is here to help with her very own gift guide exclusively for E! News.

The Honest Company and Honest Beauty businesswoman, actress and mother of two has curated 11 clever and unique products that will absolutely make a great gift for that final person on your list.

So without further ado, take a look at the items and hear why Alba thinks they would make the ultimate present.  

1. Ashoka Organic Cotton Pouch

I love giving a small pouch because of their multi-purpose magic: organizer, makeup kit, whatever you need. This one from Raven + Lily features a colorful motif on organic cotton and helps support at-risk women across the globe.

2. Mercado Global Lefty Brocade Leather Crossbody Bag

I love this small crossbody style because every girl could use a hands-free bag when they're multitasking. This cool graphic design is perfect to pop a neutral outfit. Now that you're hands-free, you'll be lending a hand to artisans in rural Guatemala. 

 

3. Bureo Minnow Skateboard

Keep it moving—literally—with this sustainable, super fresh skateboard. Crafted from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic derived from fishing net waste off the coast of Chile, it's finished with colorful eco-friendly wheels. You'll be creating jobs while cruising down the street.

4. Yoobi Colorful & Crafty Kids and Grown-Ups Bundle

My kids love arts and crafts...and I love arts and crafts because they make me feel like a kid. Lucky us that Yoobi has something for the kiddos and grown-ups alike. This vibrant set of pens, pencils and highlighters in a colorful camo case will get those creative juices flowing and you'll be giving to classrooms in need across the US with every purchase.

5. BKR Glass Bottle

Hydration is everything for me. This chic glass bottle is sheathed in soft touch silicone available in a variety of pretty pastels. The handle is great on the go, but it looks just right sitting on your desk.

 

6. State Backpacks

I'm proud to have partnered with State Backpacks to create these cool, colorful styles. For every one purchased, one backpack goes to a child in need. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

7. Bea & Izzy Dolls

This adorable brand celebrates sisterhood with charming classic dresses and dolls dressed to match. My girls love them, but I also love what they do. Each doll is handmade from organic cotton in Mozambique in collaboration with Novo Algodoeira, a foundation providing sustainable economy and funding housing, education and healthcare projects in the local community.

8. Studio 189 Hand-Batik Star Apron

The holidays is quality kitchen time, so this cool apron from Studio 189 is a perfect present. It's hand-painted, lined with recycled rice bags and a great length for stopping any splatter. My homegirl, Rosario Dawson, started Studio 189 to show the stunning skill of West African craftspeople, empower the local economy and support critical development projects in their communities.

9. Sudara Punjammies

There's nothing like comfy pajama bottoms and there's nothing better than helping women live a better life. These cozy Prasanna Punjammies are cut in a vivid print and finished with wooden beads (they're so pretty you could almost wear them outside). Made in India, they support economic independence so women don't have to resort to sex work.

10. Odette Gift Set: Block-Printed Napkins, Handwoven Bowl and Candle

This gorgeous gift set would be welcome in any home. It's like a greatest hits collection for Local + Lejos, a company that brings affordable artisanal home goods from around the world direct to us through their website. With the unique artistry of each piece, you know that it's doing good and looking good, too.
