Gifts That Give Back

With the holiday season in full swing, you may be wondering what to get everyone on your list. Well, to help you out I've found a few ideas that are not only fashionable, but that also give back to the community!

For your mom-

Give her a handmade necklace from 31 Bits! These jewlery pieces are made by woman in Uganda and the proceeds from the purchase go directly back to the women to help offer them financial stability, health opportunities and vocational training.

For your dad-
Consider getting him anything from The Livestrong Store. Proceeds go directly to support cancer patients around the globe.
For your sister-
If your sister has 'Bieber Fever' be sure to get her The Bieb's new Christmas album "Under The Mistletoe". Bieber has decided to donate a portion of his sales to various charities including the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

For your brother-
Sure, you've heard of TOMS Shoes, well TOMS has just started a sunglass line that has the same principal as the shoe line does. Whenever you purchase a pair of sunglasses from TOMS Eyewear you will be helping a person around the globe recieve medical treatment, prescription glasses or incredible sight-giving surgery.

For your boyfriend-
Give him something practical! Like this hat from Krochet Kids. Every purchase will go back to the Ugandan woman who helped knit the hat.

For your girlfriend-

Jewlery is always a good option! Go to Same Sky! The bracelets are made by HIV-positive women in Rwanda and provides them with a steady income.
