Gifts That Give Back

by Ally Batista

We’ve spent all this time talking about purchasing gifts for others, and that’s fine obviously, it is the holiday season after all. But the holidays are about so much more than giving to your friends and family.

The holidays are about compassion, and giving back to the community. What better way to do this, than to give back, which you’re also giving to your loved ones. Killing to birds with one stone has always been a forte of mine.

Here a few gifts you can purchase, that give back:

31 Bits Petunia Necklace

Not only is this necklace stunning, profits from it's sale goes towards aiding internally displaced women in Northern Uganda.

Warby Parker Gift Card

This gift card will go towards your recipient buying a new pair of trendy Warby Parker glasses, and for every pair of glasses Warby Parker sells, they provide a pair to someone in need.

Radiant Cosmetics Matte Lipstick

Not only is this the gift of a beautiful colored lip, but for every purchase, Radiant Cosmetics will donate, time, money and effort to help the fight against human trafficking.

Hiip Pacific Heights Bag

For every purchase of this bad, HiiP Pacific Heights will donate a kit filled with basic life necessities away to someone in need.

FEED RED Love Bag

The purchase of this tote will help supply approximately 30 days of saving assistence to people living in people living in countries hit hard by HIV/AIDS

TOMS Gold Glitters

And of course, the infamous TOMS. The Gold Glitters are adoranle and for every pair you purchase they donate to one someone in need.

Will you be purchasing any of these gifts this holiday season?
