We all know that the holidays are a time for giving, so when doing your holiday shopping this season why not give gifts that are not only beautiful, but give back as well? So many companies have done their part to make this so easy for us consumers! So here is a guide of gifts that give back. (Click here to see the rest of my 2010 Gift Guides)
Bags from Nest: Nest is a nonprofit organization that empowers female artists and artisans around the world. Using a unique combination of interest-free microfinance loans, mentoring from established designers, as well as a market in which to sell their crafts, Nest helps its loan recipients create successful small businesses. Nest instills pride of ownership, preserves ancient artistic traditions and successfully moves women from poverty to self-sufficiency. Nest is having a pop up shop at the Cynthia Rowley on King Street in Charleston tonight!
Water.org Gift Bottle: Matt Damon has partnered up with Water.org to spread the word about the water crisis many parts of our world face. This eco-friendly CamelBak water bottle is a life changing gift to someone in need. 100% of the profits go directly to support nearly a billion people in the world who lack clean water.
Earrings from Ten Thousand Villages: Ten Thousand Villages creates opportunities for artisans around the globe to earn a fair wage. Artisans use this income to pay for food, education, healthcare and housing for themselves and their families
Toms Shoes: With every pair purchased Toms will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. Luckily these shoes have become a fashion statement in recent years! Think about all the shoes provided!
Kiehl’s Jeff Koons Line: Artist Jeff Koons designed the gorgeous labels and 100% of the net profits up to $200,000 will benefit the Koons Family Institute, an initiative of the International Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
