Who else is still working on their holiday shopping? 🙋🏼

I’ve compiled a list of some really special companies as a reference for gifts that give back. I’m obsessed with all of them - I love picking out gifts for people and with these products, I’m gifting twice! (Literally, I picked out by dish soap by finding a company that donates proceed to the World Wildlife Foundation.)

1. STATE Bags - Every purchase is matched by the donation of a backpack full of school supplies to a child in need.

2. Public-Supply - 25% of the profits from these beautiful notebooks go toward funding the arts in public schools.

3. Thistle Farms - This company employs female survivors of human trafficking, prostitution, and addiction.

4. Hand in Hand - Every purchase is matched by the donation of a bar of soap and a month of clean water to a child in need.

5. Love Your Melon - 50% of proceeds go toward nonprofit groups that benefit pediatric cancer research.

6. Sackcloth and Ashes - Every blanket purchased is matched by the donation of a blanket to a homeless shelter.

7. Roma - Every purchase is matched by the donation of a pair of rain boots to a child in need AND 10% of all proceeds go towards educational initiatives.

8. FEED - Every purchase provides meals to children in need.

9. Clare V. Every Mother Counts tote bag - Clare V. partnered with Every Mother Counts to donate 100% profits toward making childbirth and pregnancy safe for every woman. 

10. Mitscoots outfitters - Every purchase is matched by a donation of the same item to a person in need. Also, Mitscoots hires transitioning homeless people to package and ship all of their products!

11. Krochet Kids Intl. - This company employs vulnerable women in partnership with the non-profit CAPABLE.
