gifts that give back
Conscious shopping can make a big impact in the lives of others and can make you feel good about your purchases. Because giving makes us feel good, doesn’t it? With philanthropy and social good as primary themes on this blog, I have written extensively on shopping with a conscience.
Below is a list I’ve compiled of Gifts & Products That Give Back. Many of the companies have been featured on this blog or in my book, Simple Giving: Easy Ways to Give Every Day. Feel free to add your own suggestion by commenting below.
Dignify
Hand-stitched in Bangladesh from six layers of vintage sari cloth. Made by women in a vulnerable, high risk situation or in recovery from sexual oppression. One (or two) of a kind. Each blanket is totally unique!
Climate Store
Using art, symbols, and creative messaging, the Climate Store’s mission is to help people communicate the need to take action on climate change.
Blue Q
Proud designers and manufacturers of life-improving, joy-bringing products since 1988. Full line of smart, sassy socks, soap, gum, bags, breath sprays, tin boxes, paper lanterns and more that benefit various organizations.
Bloom & Give
Fair trade scarves, bags, home textiles and more. 10% of every purchase (~50% of our profits) directly go to girls education programs. Each of these programs targets a specific obstacle in each community that prevents girls from going to school.
Bird + Stone
Jewelry that gives back. Make a statement and support social change.
