Need some last minute gifts for the holidays? How about buying something that will make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate? I love buying gifts that have meaningful backgrounds and that also give back to people in need through the purchase. It's like giving a double gift!
Here are my top picks this holiday season :
#1 A World Away's Olive Wood Napkin Rings
Have someone on your list who is tricky to buy for? Consider getting them a gift for their home. These beautiful Olive Wood Napkin Rings are handcrafted in the West Bank out of local olive trees by artisans in the Holy Land.
Olive wood is an important part of the cultural identity of the people in this region and woodcarvers receive much higher wages than the average minimum wage. By purchasing these napkin rings for just $26, you will help this great job continue to be available at Shepherd's Field Factory.
#2 Ten Thousand Village's Handmade "Village's Airways" Toy Plane Set
Need something for that special child in your life? Look no further than this fun, sturdy, handmade Village's Airways Toy Plane Set painted in bright colors and featuring six passengers from all over the world!
Made in Sri Lanka from sustainable composite wood, the purchase of this airplane will help give people living in Sri Lanka's rural areas fair employment where they would otherwise not find any. For just $44, your purchase will directly support Golden Palm Crafts in Sri Lanka.
#3 Kate Spade's Hand in Hand Gold Bangle Bracelet
I thought of a few people on my list who would love this Kate Spade 14k gold "Hand in Hand" bangle and I'm sure you can, too!
Not only is it a gorgeous bracelet, but it was designed to bring women all over the world into a partnership to support women who are trying to rebuild their lives in war-torn countries. To remind the wearer of this partnership, the bracelet is engraved with "hand in hand" on the outside and "there's strength in numbers" on the inside. Buy it now for only $48! 25% of your purchase will be donated to Women for Women International.
# 4 The Body Shop's Soft Hands Kind Heart Hand Cream
My last pick is a gift you could buy for almost anyone on your list. Seriously, who DOESN'T need hand cream every now and then? The Body Shop's Soft Hands Kind Heart hand cream is not just a great beauty product, but it is working to put an end to sex trafficking of women and children all over the world.
Count up the number of people on your shopping list and buy a bottle for each of them right now, for only $7!! The best part of this purchase??? 100% of it's proceeds will be donated to ECPAT International!!
