We’ve always heard that “it’s better to give than to receive” but we think that the companies offering these products that also give back to charities make giving and receiving even better. Check out our top choices for Gifts that Give Back this Christmas:
TOMS. TOMS kind of started the revolution of ‘one for one’ with their shoes and now you can buy sunglasses and even coffee and benefit those in need. But we love their shoes the most and their kids shoes are just way too adorable. So instead of giving a toy to your favorite girl, try these oh so cute Tiny TOMS in Pink Plaid. http://www.toms.com/kids/pink-plaid-tiny-toms-classics (There are a staggering amount of other options for girls and boys if you don’t love these as much as we do!) For each pair purchased, a pair of shoes is donated to a child in need.
Bombas Socks. We discovered these socks through the Twittersphere and we love them. They are built for athletic performance but they are also really comfy and come in amazing colors. Plus for each pair purchased, a pair is donated to homeless shelters. http://www.bombas.com
Kohl’s Cares. Choose from a favorite Disney plush animal like Simba or Dumbo or choose from one of the books like The Jungle Book and get lost in the jungle with Baloo! Each of these items are only $5 each and the proceeds are donated to children’s health and education initiatives. http://www.kohls.com/catalog/kohl-s-cares.jsp?CN=4294731838
West Elm St. Jude Glass Bird Paperweight. We bought two of these lovely birds to give as gifts this Christmas. They are only $14 each with free shipping and $5 goes directly to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. http://www.westelm.com/products/glass-bird-paperweight-d250/
BarkBox. Sometimes humans don’t need gifts but their dogs do! BarkBox is a monthly subscription service that delivers a box full of dog toys and treats to your door for Spot or Fido or Lucy. So there’s no reason your dog should bark at the mailman again! 10% of their profits go to dogs in need. https://www.barkbox.com/subscribe/size
