How to be an ethical-ish holiday shopper when every option is bad

At this point, it should be pretty clear no form of holiday shopping is good for the world. 

Sure, there are exceptions to the rule. I'm pretty confident that purchasing lemonade from your neighborhood child-led not-for-profit lemonade stand is safe, assuming those lemons were procured locally by unionized farm workers and those children are paid a living (5 dimes an hour) wage. 

Other than that, the options are limited. That doesn't mean you can't shop — but instead of following "the do no harm" method, you might need to follow the "do the least amount of harm" school of thought.
