Looking for a way to give back with your holiday gifts this year? Many companies are focused on outreach campaigns, or have added in a component this year to help you give back to the community with your purchases.
TOMS, perhaps one of the most notable companies for its charitable ties, continues its One for One campaign with some new products. Their Classic Stone Watch Cap is a perfect gift for guys and a generous way to endure the cold winter. Also, the Travel Journal is another great gift with its worn leather encasing and leather strap closure. And like the deal with TOMS shoes, the purchase of either of these items will send a pair of shoes to children in need.
FEED, another popular charity brand, working to provide meals for children from around the world. The FEED 2 Kenya bag is a great tote for everyday and provides two children in Kenya with meals for one year. The FEED Wine bag is the perfect hostess gift and will provide a student with five meals at school. There is a variety of other products from accessories to stocking stuffers that can be found on the company’s website.
Tory Burch created the Tory Burch Foundation which helps encourage women entrepreneurs. By purchasing products from the Tory Burch Foundation collection, you can help improve economic opportunities for women and their families. Some of the items include the double wrap logo studded bracelets, available in a variety of colors, as well as the citrus-scented candles, which make for perfect holiday gifts.
Beauty Brands for Sandy is a group of beauty brands who have come together for the Sandy relief effort. Anthony has a variety of new men’s products including body wash, shampoo, and aftershave, making a perfect gift for your man and a way to give back to NYC (Anthony and Sweet Pea Products are donating their products to shelters). Sweet Pea Products are also involved in the movement. They have a variety of baby bath essentials, which make for great gifts to new mothers! Beauty Brands for Sandy provides quality products for people who have been relocated to shelters due to the hurricane to help make their life a little easier during these hard times.
